Ann Voskamp & Me

Today, I went to an event and met Blogger and Author, Ann Voskamp.  

I found her to be a very sweet and genuine person and greatly

encouraged me in my walk with Jesus Christ. 

One analogy that Ann spoke about was how a guitar makes music but the inside of

the guitar is in darkness.  Sometimes I feel like I am walking in darkness but yet

Christ is there making music out of my life, but yet I may not see it or

feel like its a very nice tune at that time.

I am going to have to get my own copy of Ann's book,

One Thousand Gifts.

Her blog is

So, have you ever met another blogger that you really just cliqued with

find their personal story inspiring?

Spring has Sprung!



      Spring has Sprung here in the Lowcountry Of South Carolina!  Flowers are starting to bud and we have A LOT of pollen already, decorating our cars with a slight yellow glow.  So far, my allergies haven't been too bad.  Just a headache now and again and a stuffy nose, just hoping I don't get the runny/stuffed-up nose and itchy eyes.  Other that, I love spring.  Everything is new again and just beautiful!

It has been along time since I have blogged, so hoping to stay motivated and find the time to update my blog like I should.  This year I want to continue focusing on losing weight, sticking to a budget, dumping debt, and continue making cards and eventually open my own Etsy store. =)

So what are some of your favorite things to do in the Springtime?

Happy Spring!
