Journey of Singleness -- Free From Anxieties, Secure in the Lord

I know that I am not the only on this journey of singleness. 

I have been here for quite some time and may continue to be on this road for quite awhile longer.

Maybe forever. 

But, I know the desires of my heart and I know that my Father knows the desires of my heart. 

There is a reason for this season. 

One of them is for me to grow closer to Him, to keep searching, and to keep looking at the face of Christ. 

My relationship with Him is the most important! 

Upon this foundation everything else will be built, so it is there that I must start. 

My Love awaits. 

:-) 

"I want you to be free from anxieties. 

The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 

But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. 

And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. 

But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. 

I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord." 

1 Corinthians 7: 32-35

Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday, me and a couple of friends were able to go to a Pumpkin Patch! 

I have never been to one, so it was tons of fun! 

Since it was so close to Halloween, there weren't a lot of people there. 

Which, I was happy about it. When I am around large crowds for too long, I start to get agitated. 

The pumpkin patch was almost cleaned out of good pumpkins, but we were able to come away with some good ones. 

The hayride was still tons of fun, the food was still yummy, and the day was beautiful! 

Here are some pictures from that day! 

Enjoy! 

:-) 

Me and Amber
I have recently gotten to know her better.
She is very cool. :-) 

Indian Village.
Y'all know I am all about some Indians! :-) 

Gorgeous Sunflowers!

Me with my punkin!
:-) 

Me and Ryan.

Gotta get a picture of the yummy food!
BBQ, corn on the cob, and sweet tea.
Perfection! 

I love this picture!
It was taken by my friend, Ryan, the guy in the  picture with me a few before.

Crafty, Crafty, Crafty!

I was very crafty over my Fall Break!
I made a couple of trips to Michael's, a trip to Target, and a trip to Home Depot. 

I gathered my paint, scrapbook paper, felt, hot glue, and the mod podge. 

I painted, cut, and glued. 

I created!  

Enjoy!!

:-) 

Remember those empty canvases above me bed?

Here they are now!

One of my favorite things that I have made so far!
Coasters!
So much fun, simple, and can have any design you want on it!

This is my favorite so far!
Map hearts on canvas.
They are places that I have lived in or been able to serve in.
I hope to be able to add to this in the future. :-) 

This is hanging in my kitchen! 

Have you created anything lately or is there anything that you are hoping to create in the future?

Fall Is Here Once Again

I sit here writing this post from my comfy bed. 

Under the covers, listening to Pandora, drinking coffee out of my NOLA cup.
A pretty good way to start a Saturday, don't you think?

I love Fall! 

It seriously has to be my favorite season. 

It usually comes with the perfect weather, just jeans and a t-shirt or light long sleeve shirt. 

The past couple of days however, it has been COLD. 

I walked out of my apartment seriously underestimating how cold it was.
Not only that, but it was overcast and dreary.
Not, good fall weather. 

But today, on this Saturday, it is bright and blue outside!
Temperatures are rising today, but won't be that bad. 

Best for jeans and a t-shirt.
I hope I find something fun to do outside, so it doesn't go to waste.
:-) 

The past couple of days I have been on Fall Break from school. 

For me, it started Tuesday night and has been going since. 

I have thoroughly been enjoying this break. Although, I do still have an article to find by Monday and a mock interview and test on Thursday. 

But, this coming week is going to be great for some other reasons and I will be sure to tell all about it...later! 

:-) 

Earlier this week, my friend and I went to Lake Nicol. 

It is one of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa, no doubt. 

This time, we went to the other side where there are the cliffs.

The fall colors can greatly be seen there!
Here are some pics from that trip. 

Enjoy! 

Super Senior Year So Far

Hey Everyone! 

I thought that for a post today I would share some pictures from this Fall so far. 

This is my last year in college, my fifth year.

Like we call it: The Victory Lap, Super Senior Year! 

So far, it has been great! 

I have really been enjoying it 

and 

I'm excited to see where God leads me after next semester and graduation. 

Enjoy these pictures from the year so far!

Fall Retreat 2011 -- Camp Hargis

Lake Nicol. One of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa. 

Cooking with friends! 

Lion King 3D! All, but four, in the theater were college kids that night. It was amazing!
We sang, we danced, we cried.
We relived our childhood. 

Summer Snow! Complete with Paper Shea.
(My best friend who is going to school and living in Denver now.)

And of course, Alabama Football!
Roll Tide!


If you have already graduated college, what is your favorite memory from that time?
Or, if you are still in school, what has been your greatest memory so far?
