Selfless Ambition

Happy Thursday, loves! One more work day before the weekend...and t minus 15 work days until I am on vacation! I've never been more excited about sitting on my rear, watching The View , eating crap I shouldn't eat, and taking LOTS of naps...I. can. not. wait. Anyway, on to Thursday TTT. THRILLS {1} I pinned  this  bookshelf the other day. I just love it. So pretty. {2} I FINALLY finished 1 Samuel. Yay! And learned a ton. David truly was a man after God's own heart. His wives (y… Read more

I pinned this outfit not too long ago and loved the look so much that I immediately began a search for a midi skirt. I found this one but didn't want to spend 50 bucks for it so I put the search on a temporary hold. A couple days ago I happened to wander into a nearby thrift store and scored a bunch of cute things...2 skirts, a jacket, 2 pairs of shoes, and a necklace...for $67! Woot woot! I've never been into thrifting much before...always thought it was a tad gross to put m… Read more

Hey there! I've had my eye on  these over-the-knee riding boots  for awhile but $400 for one item  is not  and  will not  be in my budget in the foreseeable future. Never hurts to admire from afar though, right? I wasn't planning on doing any online shopping for Cyber Monday because, frankly, I really don't need anything. But I just couldn't resist StyleMint's 70% off your first item deal. StyleMint is one of those online personal stylist all-in-one sites, so they normal… Read more

Hey there! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty low key. Thanksgiving with the fam was great. LOTS of eating. And talking and laughing. And more eating. Watched Khloe Kardashian in her starring role as the ultimate awkward co-host on the X Factor (side note: I happen to think Khloe is hilarious in real life...not sure why her personality doesn't translate on the small screen...on that note, I'm sure she could care less about my opinion of her hosting skills...so let me stay i… Read more

One word: Anthropologie. I love Anthropologie & its modest, yet unique and vintage-y flair. Everything in that store is simply gorge. Everything. BUT with the exception of a monogrammed coffee cup or a frilly notepad, the stuff in there is SO overpriced! If I had $400 to spend on a dress I would go to Neiman's...not Anthropologie. But to each her own. Other than an end of season sale, I don't frequent Anthro very often. But I will occasionally browse the store (or online) … Read more

...and when life gets busy, I tend to prioritize everything else but the one thing that matters the most...unhurried time with the Lord. And as a result, I'm left feeling depleted. With nothing to give. Nothing to give God. Nothing to give those around me...including the closest person to me...my husband. And then I start feeling a distance from God. But I always remember this pin when I start feeling that way. According to Luke 6:45, the good person out of the good treasure of hi… Read more
