Monday Motivation, Earth Day Style!

-
Today is Earth Day!
[[ I have always loved Earth Day for some reason :) ]]
 
God gave us a beautiful Earth to take care of.
He gave us domain over it, although He is still in control of it all.
 
 
 
Motivation/challenge for this week:
This week, take time to recycle and not waste!
I've been on a HUGE recycling kick lately. I recycle everything now.
Think about how you can reuse things.
 
I always reuse my old shopping bags, grocery bags, etc.
 
Recycle old cereal boxes, or turn them into a pop-art collage!
 
Give your old clothes to Goodwill.
 
Cut up an old t-shirt and turn it into a necklace.
 
Don't use so many paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins!
 
 
 
 
Here is an awesome site with lots of cool ways to "upcycle" things:
 
 
 
 
And my personal favorite recycled item that I have:
 
 
This isn't the exact style I have, but it's the same pattern. I have two of these Lily Bloom bags, which are apparently made out of recycled water bottles. I get them at Belk, but I think you can order them online too :)
 
 
 
Do something green this week!

I've been into art since I was really young.  I enjoy crafting, sewing, etc.  The best part is looking at something and being able to say, "I made that!!" 5.  I tend to worry, overthink things, and analyze situations A WHOLE LOT MORE than I should....

Blah Blah Blah: Ramblings of a Nostalgic College Senior

-
So I think senioritis has a hold of me in a few different ways.  The main way it is affecting me is making me really emotional.  I honestly didn't think this would happen to me.  I mean, I was really sad to graduate high school when most everyone else was happy and excited.  Then I got to college and didn't like it that much at first.  I was really frustrated because I couldn't decide where to go, and when I finally did, I changed my mind and decided to transfer to HPU.  Well, I regretted that soon after because the whole reason I transferred was because I wanted to live AWAY from home...but after transferring once, it didn't work out to transfer again without losing too many credits, among other reasons.   So I was sour about being stuck in High Point while most of my friends from high school went off to college in different cities and states.  They were out on their own, having fun, and I was stuck living with my parents.  Looking back, i...

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

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. 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 ...
