{SIX} Years…and counting!

Pin It Yesterday my guy and I:0)celebrated 6 years of marriage! I know every single girl thinks they are so lucky to have found their own prince charming, and I am no different. He’s SO amazing and has been since the day I met him!. I mean, he’s just a testimony to how great GOD is and how he blesses your marriage when you put him first!!! Thank you Jesus for such a beautiful gift! I just pray that I am able to be a humble keeper of your many blessings.
We started out our day pretty early and just spent the entire day together…kissy face and holding hands…and kissy face…lots of kissy face…lol. We started off with a good ole simple southern breakfast…OUR favorite. During breakfast he TOLD me that I needed a NEW camera and even NAMED the one I should get…lol! What? Usually I drop little subtle hints if I need something or am wanting something new…lol. This was totally out of the blue!!!! I LOVE LOVE my camera….and to get an upgrade would be amazing. But to tell you the truth…I don’t even care if I get one! Just the fact that he brought it up makes my heart melt!:0)

We also went to go hit some golf balls( he was so impressed with how well I did!!!) HIS favorite! The one thing I learned is to keep your head DOWN!!!! We hit about 100 balls between the both of us. We’re both super competitive but I’m happy to say I WON….hehehe. But he would tell you something different I’m sure.

We did some shopping …MY favorite…

.

and ended the night at Flemings Steakhouse…who has the BEST mouth watering  steaks ever!!! If you ever go there on one of your fancy nights out….ladies make sure you get a petite filet mignon butterflied…well done… with the THREE dipping sauces. You will not be sorry. Reggie swears by the bone in ribeye cooked  medium!!!

Anniversary night time outfit was pretty casual…skinny jean(Old Navy Diva), white lace cam(Forever 21), Jessica Simpson Anne Boots that I got for Christmas from him (Amazon or Macy’s), and a yellow ruffled cardigan(Old Navy)!

I feel so weird posing by myself…lol. I’m  so use to my main accessories….babies! One on the hips and two on my thighs:0) lol!!!

The perfume of choice for this night was Fancy Nights by JS of course!

Any anniversary celebrations this month? What’s your date night perfume and outfit choice?

One of those “Lessons in Between”

Pin It Every now and then HE peels back the dead skin. Slowly I start to notice the coldness of the world. Slowly I notice the burdens of others that have been in front of me for awhile. I’m raw…like an open wound. Sensitive to every move.  Things I love to do seem less important because he's calling me to see something different. Its like I can feel him lifting my chin towards him as if I had been going about my business, looking straight ahead, not realizing that I wasn’t going anywhere, where at least not where I THOUGHT I was going
I am in a season of growth. Dwelling in HIS presence and calling on HIM to reveal whatever HE wants me to see. Tugging gently and reminding my that He IS. Telling me not to be content with my beautiful circumstances…but revealing that, HIS purpose for me is so much bigger than a beautiful family, a dedicated husband and a nice home…more than security and safety and prayers of thanksgiving. As if he’s saying “MY DEAR DESTINY….this is  not all I have for you. I know you enjoy these things that I have blessed you with, but if you take my hand I will lead you to eternity…and you will have everlasting joy...COME”
Somewhere down the road my TRUE purpose got mixed up with the my own desires, his desires for me and the American dream. I’m now  in a season of my life where I have to sort it all out. So I can know that where I’m going is where he wants me to go and not where I think I should go. It calls me to seek him with all my heart..to ask him and reveal to me my purpose and to live out that purpose for HIS Kingdom. It might very well be serving my family and community…what I am doing right now. BUT I MUST KNOW THAT…I must not second guess…I must know that his hand is guiding me…….the right direction:0)
One of the most joyful things about following Christ is the journey. He calls us to grow. Not to stay in the same stage because its nice and comfy. Not to stay in the same place because you think you know “enough” for now. All of a sudden my life just got a little more serious. I am here for a purpose. A reason. I don’t want to miss the mark because I’m so stuck in what I THINK I know.So afraid to move.  He calls us to MOVE. SEEK HIM. ASK HIM. TRUST HIM. I can’t pick and chose what I want from the bible…it’s not a buffet:0) Its time for me to grow in my faith…again:0)
Everyone’s journey is different…so completely different from your sisters and brothers…from your best friends and even your husband. That’s why we must seek the personal relationship with him so that we don’t compare or judge..and start justifying your non-movement because you see no one else moving around you.
Every now and then you will see big gaps in between post. Rest assure that he is working in me. I thought I was one of those bloggers that can immediately jump on and  start pouring my heart out ….but come to find out I am really not:0) I  have found that it takes time for me to figure out what's going on when He is working inside of me. It takes time for me to share what’s been on my heart.
Thank you so much for letting me share:0) This dosen’t mean I wont be decorating my house:0) I just wanted to let you know that all though it’s so much fun!!!!!!….there is so much more to life….and to me:0) I never want to forget that.
