Monday Motivation!

Happy Monday!
 
I had a fantastic weekend. On Friday afternoon, I had my first substituting job, relaxed and hung out with my family, and then met two of my lovely Alpha Chi sisters at Carter Brothers BBQ!
It was so much fun catching up with Leanna and Elyse, and the food was so yummy.
Afterward, Leanna, my sister, and I went to see Safe Haven since Leanna had not seen it.
 
That was the fourth time I've seen Safe Haven, and each time I find something new and different to love about it. It is easily one of my very favorite movies. We had so much fun!
 
On Saturday, I got to go to the wedding of a friend I've known since we were little and danced together - Meredith! The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and so sweet.
 
Right after the wedding, Ashley, Michael, my mom, and I went to a 65th birthday party for one of my mom's former co-workers. It was at the Women's Club of HP and the food was DELICIOUS.
 
Instead of going out and celebrating St. Patty's Day, I ended up getting caught up in a few hours of croakie designing on Saturday night...and that's all I can say about that for now! ;)
 
Sunday was a nice, relaxing day, as we got to go to church, lunch with my family, and Ashley, Rebecca and I did some wonderful Sunday afternoon shopping.
Later, we had Bible study, and that's always so lovely :)
 
I finished the weekend off visiting Granny and making a late-night Cookout run with Carmen.
 
 
Now it's Monday, and I know we all need some motivation! I know I do, because this is gonna be a crazy week for me.
 
So here we go:

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
