Best week of my life.

So most of you know, last Wednesday was my birthday. So of course I spent the whole week celebrating. And I guess since I am back to a routine, my life is becoming a little more chaotic than I thought it would be. But I guess that's the joys of life, and figuring life out.

So let's start with Wednesday, my birthday. I worked in the morning, and then left for New Orleans around 2. It was a fabulous day. I had the chance to see one of my favorite bands, Eisley, play at the House of Blues. Absolutely incredible show. Playing along side of them, was The Narrative, and Christie Dupree. After the show, we went to Cafe Du Monde, and ate beignets. I also got to see one of my friends from Kids Across America!! It was great, hadn't seen him since last summer. After leaving New Orleans, I ended up not getting home until 4:30AM, and I needed to be in Dallas at 11:30AM. Let's just say it was a super long morning, with lots of stopping, coffee, and blaring music.

I ended up making it to Dallas safely, Praise God. I was asked to take pictures for a seafood companies website. so that was an interesting experience. After I was finished there, I met up with an old friend that lived across the street from me growing up, she used to babysit me. Hah. But anyways, she is living in Texas now, so it was nice to visit. On Friday, i drove back home, then down to New Orleans. Later that night, a friend and I went at Rotello's, and it was fabulous. After we were done eating, we had gelato. Absolutely delicious.

Saturday, I ended up hanging out on Magazine St. at the Community Coffee. I just edited pictures and talked to a friend for a while. Later that night we had dinner at Tacquera Corona, and I probably misspelled that word. After we were done with dinner we went to get ice cream at Creole Creamery, and it was fabulous. Sunday, we headed towards Gulfport, MS. Along the way we stopped at the Six Flags in NO. It is no longer in operation which is sad. But I did get to take a few pictures, so that was cool. After, we went shopping, and of course I spent way too much money at J. Crew, but I can't help it. Anyways, then we drove along the coast to Biloxi, and it was so beautiful. We stopped for a while and walked along the beach. Let's just say it was the perfect way to end the perfect birthday. :)

Peace&&Love.

Monday of the Best Week Ever...

So I guess I should start with Happy Memorial Day -- A big thanks to all who have served, are serving, and will be serving soon, in the Service. Freedom has to be fought for, and I am so thankful that I don't fight for it myself.

Anyways. I went to work today only for a few hours, because my boss let me off early. So on my way home I decided that I was going to bake my birthday cake, instead of ordering it from Rod's, even though I miss their cool whip icing. But regardless, I made my very own tie-dye cake, and if I must say so myself, it can out fabulous. :)



So, I just finished icing it a few minutes ago. And I told my parents around 5pm that we were celebrating my birthday tonight, even though it's not for two more days, but maybe I should've told them earlier. Oopsies. :)

Anyways, I'll blog about the rest of my night later, I need to get some stuff done.

Love God. Love People.

BEST WEEK EVER.

So I know a lot of people actually won't read this, nor do a lot of people actually care about anything I have to say, but this coming week really has the potential to be the BEST WEEK EVER.

So starting with this past Friday, May 27, two of my lovely friends from college got married! Congrats Sarah Jaye and Durr. The wedding was absolutely fabulous, and I danced so much I was sore the next morning. Then on Saturday, I adventured out to Lake Arthur, LA to The Regatta Festival, with Allison. Don't ask me what it means, because I honestly have no idea. Let's just say as soon as I got to Lake Arthur, I felt like I was back home in Church Point, I wasn't really sure how I felt about that, but anyways. A few friends including myself, got together to spend a wonderful day together. We got to see sailboat races and a couple of really good bands. I also go to go jet-skiing for the first time ever, so that was cool.

Moving on! We didn't end up going to be until a little after midnight, but it's summer! Who cares. Haha.

It is now Sunday, and I am sitting in my room trying to contain my excitement of the upcoming week! I probably have more planned than I will actually be able to handle, but I guess that's what makes life exciting. I did get to see Allison's new house, that I will be moving into in August, and it's extremely adorable!! Ahhh, and then I bought a new duvet for my new room for only 14 bucks! I was pretty stoked about that!

Well tomorrow is Memorial Day, and I am going to work because I have nothing else better to do with my life, and I don't need to be outside anymore with the sunburn I already have.

Tuesday, I will be taking pictures for a seafood company located in Branch, LA. I'm pretty excited about that!

Wednesday is my 21st birthday, and I realize that being 21 comes with a lot of expectations that I am "supposed to do" according to society, but whatever! Hah. I will be going to New Orleans to see Eisley and The Narrative, at the House of Blues, with a great friend of mine, and I must say I am super excited about it!!

Thursday, I will be traveling to Dallas to take pictures for the seafood companies second branch! So it will be an adventure! Especially the fact I get to catch up with friends while there after I am done working! AHH. :)

Friday, I will be adventuring back home, and then heading back to New Orleans, to spend the weekend with another fabulous friend of mine.

So let's just say that this is going to be the BEST WEEK EVER, and I will try my best to keep my blog updated.

Peace&&Love.

Things I keep saying...

I keep saying I am going to commit to blogging, but it has never actually happened. I guess I spend so much time updating my Facebook status, or Tweeting that I don't take five minutes out of my day to actually blog. Well here goes:

I just recently got back from a crazy trip to Texas with Rachel Jocks. It was really a great trip. I got to hang out with my grandparents, my godmother and her family, a few friends along the way, go to Six Flags Over Texas, and I even got my nose re-peirced. We also went to Houston, got to see some really cool art, ate really good pizza. So it was a great weekend to say the least.

I just got home like 30 minutes ago, so I am still going through the winding down process. Also, I have been considering a lot of things lately. I will be 21 in 9 days, and it is officially becoming real to me. Not that it really matters, because I don't necessarily go out and drink. But nonetheless, I will be legal. Hah.

Anyways. I'm still getting my life back together from the overtaking of school. It's now just work 8-5 everyday. So my days aren't very exciting. But I do get to go to KAA in a few weeks, so that will be six weeks of my summer. And I am super excited about seeing my kamp family.

Well I will blog more later, maybe even post some photos. Who knows.

Much Love.

4 Weeks Stronger...

So as I sit here at work, I tend to think a lot. Maybe a lot is an understatement. I tend to think enough for the whole world. But the difference with today is that, I have decided to just listen to worship music while at work. Pandora is being awesome right now. I have my Kim Walker-Smith station on, and it's absolutely incredible right now.

Hold My Heart by Tenth Avenue North just finished playing. And now Hosanna by Hillsong is playing.

Hold My Heart is very close to my heart, it's how I got through the break up of my first relationship, by giving my hurt and pain solely to God. And in Hosanna, it says "Break my heart for what breaks yours, everything I am for your kingdom's cause." And throughout the past four weeks God has been breaking my heart.

As most of you know, my most recent relationship came to an end four weeks ago today. And surprisingly, I am doing better than I expected. At first I wasn't, but I wasn't listening. I was being ignorant, human nature I guess. Hah. But anyways.

I just want God to break me. And use me, for whatever it is He wants. I was put here for a purpose, and I want to be a world changer. I want to share God's love with people who don't know it. All God wants is for us to want Him, the way he wants us.

The way God loves us is absolutely overwhelming. Why would I not want to share the kind of love people need in the world. <3

Psalm 73:28.<3

I will never be the same.

Windows down, contemplating things.

God's unfailing love is absolutely perfect. It is more satisfying than anything else in the world. Well obviously. He loves us more than anything else, most of just need to realize this, especially me. I am so undeserving, unworthy, and selfish. He is jealous of everything we put before Him, and truthfully I've put a lot before Him in my life. He should be at the core of who I am. His touch is all I need to get through my day. So I will continue to seek, search, pray, yearn, and cry out.

I need to continue to recognize things of Him constantly throughout the day. It's hard not to see it though, unless you are oblivious to it. And it's obvious that He is there, I am just uncertain of why we run away from Him, when all he wants is to save us from ourselves.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around why God is jealous for me. An unworthy, stubborn, and so many other descriptions of a human being. He is perfect and all-knowing, but I still can't wrap my mind around why He is jealous. All I know is that His grace and mercy covers me, and honestly it's all I need.

To worship Him is my passion and my desire. It's so amazing to be able to worship such a Holy God. We do not have time to think about our pasts when we think about how much He actually loves us.

I need to constantly seek the Lord, in every aspect of my life. It's pointless for me to try and gain the whole world if I'm just going to lose my soul(Luke 9:25). I need to stay focused on seeking out God and His will for my life in all this chaos around me.

And God can see through us, we are not opaque. We are transparent to Him, and He can see straight through us. Let His new life offer be the thing to save you.


Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9.
