Do you know...Joe?



Ok, so on the path to save money..I have tried to become a frugel shopper. They way I like to buy clothes is spend more money on good pairs of jeans and pants, and mix up my shirts, sweaters, ext..every season! So one of my finds and I have found some success in getting some cute cheap stuff, is Superstore:) I am sure many of you have seen the Joe line, maybe purchased..but if you haven't, check it out:)

What's your secret indulgence place to shop???

How did you find me?

So when I started this blog, I attached a map to track where people come from that read my blog:) i was suprised to see how many people all over the world have stopped by!
So, iam curious, who are you, and how did you find me! I would love to know!!

So, if you stop by, say hi, and tell me please, who you are, where you are from, and what is it that you love about where you live:)

Look forward to hearing!

One of the many reasons I live in chilliwack

After work yesterday, dave and I headed out to cultus lake to meet his parents for a bbq:)
I loved this!! I felt so blessed by God to live in an area where I could get in my car and 10min later be near a gorgeous body of water, to eat, and fellowship with friends. I joke because I know a lot of people thought I was crazy when I moved from Vancouver to Chilliwack, and yes there are many things I miss about living in the city, but I love where I live now too! Especially because of who I live with:)wink* I am surrounded by gorgeous lakes, rivers, trails, community, family and fun!
Last night I went to my first dance class. I had drop in hip hop classes when I lived in the city and loved them so it was time to get back into something. I needed something active without being bored:)
Well, last night I had a blast! There was about 12 women in the class, from 20-55! it was great! I loved the variety of women that came and gave their all:) My question is though...why can't we do this in church. I how I pray for the day when we can dance freely in our churchs..when young and old will let loose for Jesus! I will be at the front when that day comes!

God is so good!

Ok, so I am fighting a stupid cold; that is not the highlight of my day:) I hate being sick:(

Anwyays, on to other things. So, basically i have a bunch of random thoughts in my head today.
I am overwhelmed right now by how great God is:) His presence in my life was so strong this weekend, and in such a short period of time, my undestanding of him greatly increased!
I love how God truely does work in mysterious ways.

Dave and i both feel like we are in a very peaceful place, where good change is just around the corner. I am excited, and wait in expectancy for what God is going to do in our lives! I don't know yet, but I can just feel it:)
God really moved this weekend in unique ways and I am so thanful for it!

We went to Broadway church on Sunday because we were out in the Burnaby visiting our siblings. The message was on failure..a touchy subject for me because I do battle with this in my life. My dad always said I was my worst enemy, and I am too hard on myself.. I really felt God releasing some of that this weekend! God opened up my eyes to a new outlook. I was thinking during and after the sermon about area's in my life where i feel like i have failed. And when I thought about such things, like finances, it really hit me, does God really consider these things failures, or am I going by the worlds standards? Anyways, this was really big for me because I really battle it. It also really struck me, how can God help me move forward with the things he wants for my life when I am sitting in guilt and shame for the things I have done in my past? Again is this what God want's for my life? I am thinking no:)

My heart is in a place of receiving new understanding of where God is taking us, and it is so exciting!! I know he's got a plan, I just have to walk in it!!

New things are coming......because I am letting go of the old.....

I kissed caffeine Goodbye

ok, well, not completly. But basically, I am trying too!!
Today is day one, so we will see how it goes. I have been trying to do this off and on for a while now, but couldn't stick with it, but I feel it is time! I am not giving it up 100% just during the week.
I struggle with anxiety, have a high stress job, and am addicted to starbucks. Not good for my health or my wallet!:) so, I have decided that during the week no caffeine, and it will be a treat on the wekeend:) So i am sitting here sipping my Tetly, Vanilla Roobos herbal tea..and its yummy:) But, going to take some getting use to!
I will keep you posted on my progress!!!
