Starting off 2020 with a little extra crazy

Hello Friends & Family!
I am doing well :D Whew! It has been a whirlwind of a month. I have had several people want to check in and make sure Im doing ok. I've been out of the loop of my usual messaging and contacting people. So here is a little update in my blessed life of chaos.
My health is doing well! Mr. J.F. Kidney is working beautifully and I will have a follow up apt from my last hospital visit sometime in early Feb. As of right now though my labs are great and we have been a busy bee.
The house is making progress! Just to catch everyone up, Tyler and I bought our first house! We are having a moving-in day on Sunday so if you are willing to help we offer you pizza and cookies in exchange for your manual labor 😉
Teaching with VIPKid has been a BLAST! We got back from the Nashville trip on the 5th. It was an amazing experience to meet so many teachers and glean from their knowledge and wisdom. And of course visiting with good friends!
Right now my students are preparing for Chinese New Year. They get a month off of school so they can travel and visit family. This means a lot of evening bookings for me which I love sooo much more than the morning classes #nightowl
We are also still selling Pampered Chef. Our next party is on January 20th and will go until the following Sat. We wanted to have a small open house to show off some products, but y'all will have to settle for LIVE videos lol.
And finally, Tyler and I will be teaching Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace course beginning March 4th at our church, Heritage Baptist.

So that's been life so far in 2020. As crazy as it sounds, I seem to thrive on the chaos. Once we get settled into the house and I can have my office set up again I will be able to reign it all in with some organization. I hope to start writing more than and sharing some of my experiences from 2019. Until then I will be searching for the #contentmentinthechaos

Natural Paint and a Happy Result!

Image
*Disclaimer- I am not sponsored by any company and these thoughts and opinions are my own Today I wanted to share with you my success of latest furniture project! I love plants, and my living room has a gorgeous window that provides the bast light for all my lovely leafy plants. However, my collection is growing and I am running out of space to display them! So my darling lumberjack helped me build a window bench to accommodate all my green babies. Isn't he a keeper?! The bench is the perfect size and it actually gives me room for more plants. Perhaps I can finally start my indoor herb garden that I've been itching to try! The best part of this project would definitely be when we finished it off with my new CeCe Caldwell natural paint. I actually won this paint and finishing wax through a contest my local TV station was having. I've had them sitting on my shelf for almost a year now just waiting for the perfect project and low and behold that day has finally come!...

A Noble Character

So I have always loved the 31st chapter of Proverbs, for those of you who have never read it, it is a beautifully written letter from a mother to her son of the qualities he should look for in a wife. Today we live in society where women are aggressive and seek to be leaders and providers, but looking into this chapter you see the woman is a strong and determined provider yet humble. She doesn't seek credit or profit, but rather her goal in life is to fulfill her role as mother and wife. She has a noble character.   Well all that to say I have been reading a study on the Proverbs 31 woman and this week is How to be a treasure to your Husband. (or future husband) Proverbs 31: 10 says,  “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”  Ive attached the exerpt from this weeks chapter so you can see the list of qualities found in a noble character A noble wife is rare and extraordinary – just like a ruby. A noble wife is a treasure to her husba...

Mending

     This week has been a valley for me. I have been emotionally drained and literally just floating through the everyday motions of life. But if you know me then you know that is not how I live and I dont believe in dwelling in sorrows. I  know how short life can be here on earth and I know we are meant to live it glorifying Christ until He returns to take us home. I'm putting my foot down and beating the temptations satan has of dwelling in sadness.     There is the old saying of Misery loves company. I have found that there have been many, many times this past week I have allowed myself to dwell on the misery and not the blessings. Just because our plans don't work out does not mean they were bad plans. We learn from our experiences, from people we meet, and moments we cherish. But ultimately we must remember God has already created a story for us, He knows the plans and He is ready to bless us with them (Jeremiah 29:11).       God is al...
