High Five for Friday

Friday 

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!

Pins and Highs

So... I kinda fell off of the face of the blog world for a while. 

What can I say? I've been busy!

Last week, we were in Colorado (post to come). This week, I left my old job and started a new one.

 ooh-rah!!!

So, we'll start with a recap of what I have loved on Pinterest recently
 and then a few highs.

1. This is so true. Story line not even close. Popularity is the only thing they have in common.

Btw... these faces are of the actors in the upcoming movie.
