Five for Friday!

It's tiiiiiiiiime ... for FRIDAY FIVE!
 
What I'm loving this week:
 
 
 
The Safe Haven soundtrack is SO mellow, so relaxing, so comforting. I don't usually even listen to a whole lot of this kind of music, but I have fallen in love with these songs. Maybe I'm opening myself up to new artists?!
My two favorite songs on the soundtrack are "Say Anything" by Tristan Prettyman and "Hearts Content" by Brandi Carlile.


 
 
 
 
 
Old Navy eyelet dresses!! These are only $25 until the end of March, and I may have bought a couple this week ;)
I think it was a good investment, because they are classy, timeless, look good with cardigans, can be paired with pretty much any kind of shoe, endless accessorization (is that a word?) possibilities, so colorful, flirty, and feminine... Yeah.


 
 
 
Altar'd State is one of the coolest stores I've ever been in. There's one at Friendly Center in Gboro, and when you go in, you first notice the abundance of the cutest, most feminine and sweet clothes ever (assuming you haven't been there before, and don't know anything about it, like my first time going there). As you walk through and look at the clothing and accessories, you notice something - they are playing Christian music.
If you look closely at the decorations, you notice that this is a God-centered store. And even cooler - on all the clothes that are AS brand, there is a tag that says that a portion of the proceeds from all AS-brand purchases will go to feed, clothe, and educate hungry children. What a great idea!
My favorite part of AS is their dressing room. Not only is it gorgeous, but there are chairs and a table and an open book where you can write prayer requests! So anyone who comes in after you can see what you wrote and pray for you.
You can see why Carmen and I are obsessed.






 
 Finger Paints' "Art District Delight."
This is the nail color I've been wearing this week, and I've really enjoyed it. It's an older color. I've had it for a while. But I love a good neutral color sometimes. It's good to mix up bright and bold with neutral and sweet.

 
 
 
 
 
 
And last but not least, my new TOMS!
I bought a pair of the yellow stitchout Toms. I searched and searched for the perfect yellow pair (because they had to be yellow with that verse on them!), and finally found the most perfect ones.
On Sunday evening, I put the little designs and the verse on them.
This is my FIRST pair of Toms :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Happy Friday!

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
