High Five for Friday!

Happy Friday Friends!

I’m linking up with Lauren over at from my grey desk!

For me it feels like Tuesday… Thursday was my Monday this week but Friday is my Friday. 

Woot Woot!

1) Beaver Lake

We went down to Beaver Lake from Friday night to Wednesday.

 It. Was. Wonderful. 

I enjoyed spending time with family, playing in the lake, crafting and watching the stars.

 I can’t wait until my mom and her siblings are able to build down there.

P.S. Thanks Houseworth cousin’s for welcoming us with open arms! We love you!

 2) Tea Party

Wednesday night was the last night of the Juicy Fruit Girl’s Bible study. 

We threw a tea party and a modesty fashion show. 

Oh, and I forgot to take pics with my own camera so I’m working on getting some. The girls LOVED it! 

The space turned out wonderful and the girls looked cute in their thought out outfits and braided hair. 

Most importantly, Jesus was the focus!

I’m thinking I need a whole separate post for this…

3) Girl Time

My mom and sister have been in town for quite some time.

 Yay for lots of shopping, crafting and hair doing!

4) Surprises

My mom and sis were supposed to go home yesterday. 

They are staying until Tuesday!

5) Opportunity

My dad had/has important business meetings yesterday and today.

 Mike has a phone interview with (what appears) to be a better employer next week. 

Please pray these things go well!

What fun things are going on in your life? 

How is your summer?

I love when conversations get started on here so feel free to jump in!

High Five for Friday

I'm linking up with Lauren today because it's FRIDAY!

ONE. Thrifting

I went shopping at thrift stores with my mom and hubby.

We always find crazy things... and super cute things!

I got a new vase, silver slip on shoes (true story, and their awesome!), and two new shirts!

TWO. Juicy Fruit

I have loved doing the 5th and 6th grade girls Juicy Fruit bible study.

They are so fun!

This coming Wednesday is our last day together. :(

THREE. Riley's hair cut

I'm sure it seems odd that I want to even mention someone else's hair cut... 
but I have been wait for this day for soo long!!! 
Doesn't she look GREAT?!

FOUR. Rainbows

You want to know what the true symbolism of a rainbow is?

It is God's promise, and a beautiful one it is.
Genesis 9:8-17

I saw an amazing rainbow at about 6:45am on my way to work.

Our God is amazing and His creation is my favorite.

FIVE. Air Conditioning

It's been 103+ for the last week and that's continuing until...???

Need I say more?

{ew}

How was your week?

Fantastic I hope!

Love you all!

High Five for Friday

Friday!

ONE. Licensed.

Mike is an official, licensed paramedic. He can now apply for jobs! 

God is good! 

TWO. Beaver Lake.

I am so blessed to know Beaver Lake. It's beautiful!

My family has gone there for generations. 

I can't wait to take my kids someday.

Mike and I got to head down there over Memorial Day weekend.

We tubed. We swam. We slept. We had fun.

  And Mike broke a rib... but he's good and we had FUN.

Please enjoy some lake photos!

THREE. Juicy Fruit.

We started 5th and 6th grade girls bible study Wednesday. 

I get to be the fun craft lady!

 I'll try post some of the crafts we do!

FOUR. Good Morning Girls.

I'm doing a Proverbs 31 bible study with Good Morning Girls.

 It's an online study but it's interactive through Facebook, social media and what not. 

Surprisingly, I really like that aspect!

This study came at the right time...

 Personally, I was struggling with some wifely duties and it's wonderful

 to be encouraged not only by God's word but also by the girls He's put in this study!

 It's not to late to join! 

FIVE. Service Men and Women.

I'm always grateful for the service men and women; past, present and future. 

Thanks to them, I get to enjoy my comfortable, American, free, life.

 Sure, we all have struggles, but step back and look at what you do have. 

For those of you who don't think you have much, look at the doors that have been opened to you through what our military men and women sacrifice. 

Doors to better jobs, business opportunities, religious freedom.

Give a prayer of thanks and tell your military men and women thank you!
