Bigsis Birthday Party!!!

  I am so happy for my bigsis who had a birthday yesterday :)  I have been extremely anxious about hearing how it turned out and much to my satisfaction it went GREAT!  She said that a good number of people showed up, we were talking about how much we thought would show and that was the weekend before last.  She put out the number 12.  So of course that means it more than doubled.  I have a special place in my heart for birthdays I just truly love them.

 The best part about hearing how her party went was knowing that she had fun.  She said that my nephew (her son) came with his Spiderman suit on lol.  He is so adorable.  I really wish that I could have seen it all unfold but she lives out of the country and the trip would have broke the bank for me.

 Although I wasn't there to enjoy the party with her, just hearing the exciting details was enough for me to feel like I was there.  She really deserved to have fun and enjoy a celebration for herself.  God is such a good God, she was a little worried because the party was outside on the roof and the forecast was calling for rain.  Needless to say the rain never showed up and the weather was perfect.  I am just so happy right now that everything went well. Happy Birthday to my amazing sister, I love you.

My new VLOG!!! hiOlympia :)

 I have finally did what I have been wanting to do for a while...which is make a Vlog :) I am super duper excited and proud of myself.  I have never done anything remotely close to being in front of a camera and talking to it as if I am talking to an audience.  It was a really fun experience. 

  I have to admit some of the things that set me back were #1 my nerves  #2 my nerves! lol I think if anyone is interested in starting any new adventures in life it will undoubtedly be a little nerve racking and not to mention uncomfortable.  But all in all it would be best to try.


  As of now I have 50 views and 1 subscriber :) this makes me smile.  I think the best part about me starting this Vlog is that it is without pretense.  This is the beginning of something that is about me.  I have no specific setting or idea about this channel. It will be mostly random things that I am interested in.

  I hope that everyone enjoys it and that I will push myself to do things out of my comfort zone, more often and the nerves will get less and less busy.  Be Blessed

Pray for Japan

  In times of catastrophe like these.  We need to bond together and pray.  The best thing you can do right now is send prayers.  No one can bring back any one's loved ones by complaining and blaming people.  These are horrible tragedies that have happened to people all around the world.  Somehow we are all connected and not only is this affecting Japan it is affecting all the people that are connected to someone there.

  Do not think that your prayers won't count.  If we are all praying for those around us, you will definitely see a change.  Nothing is going to help the hurt than more than love.  People don't need to hear any advice on what they should have done or what they did not do.  This is a very sensitive time for many.  A lot of people have lost someone dear to them and all the complaining any finger pointing just adds to the hurt.

  Lets do something positive and pray for them.  Not only can we pray for those that have been affected we can also Donate to the Salvation Army https://secure20.salvationarmy.org/donation.jsp  We can Donate to the Red Cross https://american.redcross.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=ggl_main&gclid=CPbphsLVyacCFQsGbAodBlavDg

Take the time out to say a prayer for all those affected by this disaster.  God Bless

E.L.F. Eye Shadow Brush...Review

I love, love, love this brush!  I was simply out shopping one day.  I was at Target and I discovered they had an affordable makeup section.  I was amazed that I could get good quality products at clearance prices.  The best part was I could try out all the products and not feel like I was robbed if I ended up not liking it.  Well, the not liking it part never happened.  I fell in love with one product in particular,  The "eye shadow brush"  I felt like this brush was made for me.  It was simple and easy to use and it worked really well.  I have never been anything close to an expert when it came to applying makeup but when I used this product I looked very similar to one.  I will never feel out of trend again when it comes to eye makeup.  I have tried all of their colors and used them in different ways.

  I was always the girl with the horrible foam applicator that was getting clumps of eyeshadow in certain areas.  If you are like me and you have never done well with the foam shadow applicator out there then this is the brush for you.  It clings to the eye shadow of your choice and then you just brush it on and it is as easy as that.

  I have also found this brush useful when I am rushing to go out.  I used to take forever trying to put on the pencil eye liner but now I just use my elf eye shadow brush and apply it with that.  I take the black eye shadow and brush it on as eye liner and it does the job much much quicker than penciling it on.  I cannot say enough great things about this brush.  It has allowed me to step my make-up game up in a major way. 

Super Faith

  I am at the point in my life where I either have to completely and utterly believe with all my heart or give up.  I choose to stick with it.  I have a calling on my life and I want this calling to be manifested into reality.  I sometimes get hung up on how long it will take or how much I am unfit for the job.  But then I always bounce back.  It is not easy being a Christian but it is so worth it.  I can hear God speaking to me throughout the day and just to know that he is near, changes things for me.  I push forward knowing that my trust in God is what has brought me to the point that I am at now.  I am forever grateful that the Lord has blessed me to be here.

  God has been nothing less than faithful in my life.  I have never been let down by His perfect will.  I was listening to a speaker the other day that said "God knows your entire life story all the way through, even up to the point when you get to heaven." Just writing those words, lifts my spirit.  God has always been constantly on my side.  No matter what circumstances are going on in your life you have to know that God wants the best for you and it is up to you to get on His team.  Be Blessed.
