High Five For Friday!!!

I truly don't know how it is Friday again already! Matthew 24:22 comes to mind and I wonder if this is what Jesus meant about the days being cut short. I don't think it is what he meant but my days do seem short. But hey I rather have them be short than long!


Ok moving on to my five:






1. Answered prayers... (but please continue praying)

2. I accomplished my goal of exercising six times this week. And I accomplished another goal of posting on my blog six times in a week.

 Click here to read about my recent lifestyle change (this is me not using the word "diet"). 

3. I got to see one of my friends from Oregon on Tuesday! (Shame on me for not taking any pictures to document this event.)

4. My FREE Outside magazine and cards/letters from loved ones came in the mail this week! It's the little things folks!!!

 5. I was able to fall asleep at a decent hour at least twice this week!!! I'm hoping and praying that changes to seven days a week soon. And in case you are wondering... a picture of myself sleeping would be really awkward. It was awkward enough that I posted a sweaty picture of myself.

High Five for Everyday:

*My Superhero husband who accomplishes more before eight in the morning than most people do all week. He works so hard and complains so little. And he loves me unconditionally (truly). Most importantly, he loves the Lord.*

*And our pets, who give me something to fret over. And for also loving me unconditionally (well my cat does most of the time & my dog - all the time :).*

I have a lot in store for me this weekend! I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for reading my blog! Just a warning... the posts might decrease as I'm picking up another class on Monday... I know, I know... it will be rough without a daily dose of blog posts from LLHFL Blog.... ;) just kidding! Not kidding about the class and potential decrease. o_0 Time will tell! 

Lots of love to you and a blessed weekend too (note what just happened)!

God is love,

Vanessa

High Five for Friday!!

My week has been like a roller coaster... good thing Jesus is always along for the ride! {Can you imagine Jesus riding a roller coaster?}

1. God has been busy answering prayers this week (and every week)! 

Colton, who I requested prayer for in this post, was released from the hospital. He is far from being out of the woods and still needs your prayers. But I'm so thankful for the progress! Thanks for the prayers!!

Also, the Bingham family who I also requested that you pray for, is going to be on the Today Show today! I'm praying that the added media attention will be a blessing. 

2. Searching for my dog. 

Amazingly, searching for my dog ended up being a ginormous blessing. 

As a result I made new friends and learned more lessons about hope, faith, and love. I realized a love I didn't know I had before. God's glory truly shined through the entire ordeal, which was a really humbling experience. And a new facebook group has resulted (your welcome to join us). Read this post for the complete story. 

3.  I met Ryan (my superhero husband) nine years ago yesterday. Nine years is 1/3 of my life!!! And after all these years, Ryan still writes long love letters. 

4. A little conversation between DeVon Franklin & myself on Twitter. I'll let the tweets speak for themselves. :)

5. "Awesome Abs" class with Jordan.

And now my abs look like this! Just kidding. Luckily for me, my superhero prefers more curve. 

So I was completely expecting the class to be taught by a petite, bubbly, girl. But to my complete surprise, the class was taught by a manly, buff, guy with a beard. Needless to say my abs still hurt even though the class was on Monday. And Jordan played my kind of exercise music! 

 I'm really looking forward to the next class!

Have a blessed weekend y'all! <3

God is love,

High Five For Friday!

How in the world is it Friday already??? I'm not complaining though!!!


All in all, I'd say it's been a pretty good week. I'm really looking forward to church tomorrow and I'm hoping to get some fresh, local produce on Sunday.

So here's my five...


1. More people have read Monday's post: ("Prayers Requests and A Memory Verse a Week for the Weak: Mark 4:35-41" ) than any other blog post I have done. Which tells me a lot of people are praying for these precious families.

You can now join a prayer group for Colton on facebook just click here and join the group (please and thank you).

Here is a new video that Hearts for Binghams made.


2. Skype sessions with my husband. Whoever invented Skype is a genius.

3. My baby (dog) has some sort of owie on his left front foot of some sort... blah blah blah... I ended up taking him to the groomer. It's so much fun to take him to Petco or PetSmart because he makes so many people happy. Actually it's fun to take him anywhere for that reason. I'm always thankful to get to share the gift that is my baby (dog). He's even more huggable now. <3

4.  A postcard all the way from South Korea with a sincere letter on the back from my best guy friend. :)

5. Last but not least.... Ryan and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Monday! Here are some of my favorite pictures from that day 6+ years ago:

So how was your week????????????

Have a blessed weekend y'all!!! 

God is love,

Vanessa
