The Voice of Truth

Tuesday night at my MK success meeting, we had our newest directors debut party. It was amazing to see that huge goal achieved and I got to be a part of it. There was one part of the ceremony that I truly enjoyed, KB was telling us the story about how she heard this song one day and she fell in love with it and it was here inspiration, to give her the drive to make director in a year. KB invited her college friend to sing and share this amazing song with us. I started getting goosebumps right from the start and about half way through i was tearing up :)

It's called The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I hope y'all get goosebumps just like I did. This is definitely going on my ipod and the lyrics KB printed out are being framed and going in my office.

It's Ok Thursday

I got this idea from my friend LBP, who got the idea from her "Big" , who got the idea from Airing My Dirty Laundry who got it from Glamour. Did you follow that?

***Warning*** maybe a little depressing sorry, I'm in a funk!

It's OK...

That I said I was going to make dinner every night this week but then proceed to tell L to get Steak & Shake for dinner.

To use my bummed knee as an excuse to not work out.

 (not really cause it probably wouldn't hurt as much if I lost a few lbs)

To be a little irritated at the Mr. for promising me a day full of him tmrw but then forgot his little brother has to stay the night.

To not be excited about a bridal show I'm doing on Sunday,

I'm a little fearful of failure after the last one I did was a bust.

To want things in life right now opposed to waiting or putting in the work sometimes.

That I have a wedding shower to go to Saturday and I haven't gotten a gift yet.

That my tan is slowly fading because of the cloudy weather we've had, but I plan to make up for the no pool time lately next week and on the 4th.

To be over this week!

To keep reading my post from yesterday,

 to remind myself about all the good things to be thankful for.

Sorry again for the depressing post, I needed to get that out.

Looking forward to a better day tmrw and a great weekend celebrating friends!

Weekend Whereabouts!

Ok so I've been slacking just a little, haven't posted since Wednesday, and it makes me nerves for the future. But this weekend has been very hectic.

Friday started off with a little crazy with 2 huge cockroaches and a lizard loose in my aunts house at about 1am. L killed the roaches but we couldn't find the lizard and I couldn't sleep so I drove to the apartment to sleep that night. I went to lunch with my mom and Mrs. M (my Granny's best friend) then shopping with Mom. I went to buy a new bathing suit and a bra and I walked out with a dress and a pair of shorts! lol (which will be featured on Friday's post) I then went back to my aunts house and had dinner with L hung out for a bit then headed home and he headed to a friends house for the night.

I had to be up Saturday morning at 5:00 to meet some girls to head to ATL for our MK event. However didn't go to bed until after 4 so I got about an hour of sleep and was so tired! I got up a little late and had to stop to get a cup of coffee so I was a little late, oh well, we made it in plenty of time.

 My MK Senior Director CJ invited Robert Jones a well known professional make-up artist to come to ATL to do a workshop for us and teach us make-up techniques hands on. It was fabulous, I learned so much and I'm so glad I went since I originally sold my ticket. He has worked with MK for years and was very much a part of the new face of MK. He does amazing make-overs. He is really funny and has a great sense of humor, I can see him and JCV getting along very well.

When we walked into the workshop we got to have a personal one on one little moment with Robert himself. He gave us a packet and marked on the cover what eye shape we had, which we were going to go over later.

We then went over the basics of make-up application before lunch, I won't go though it all because if your not interested in make-up it will bore you. And then after lunch we washed our face all but one eye so we can have a before and after. The sad thing is I did my best make-up that morning to impress Robert but once you look at the before and after, I can honestly say I was doing eye makeup wrong! We went through all the eye shapes and where to but the three shades on each eye, if you think it doesn't make a difference believe me it does. 

Here are some of the pics...

pictures aren't working for me so hopefully I'll have them posted soon!

I got home around 7 that night (did I mention it was 8 hrs long and in ATL) waited about an hr for L to get home cause he was at his niece's birthday party. I pretty much said hey to him told him I was taking a nap and didn't wake up for 13 hrs. I was definitely tired.

Sunday I got up and went to church by myself because L wasn't feeling good. Went to lunch with my parents and hung out at their house for about an hr then headed back home. Because L and I didn't spend much time together this weekend I wanted to get home early and watch a movie, have dinner and hang out. We watched "The Killers"  which was a pretty cute movie, good chick flick but has the action scenes for the guys. It was nice to finally spend some quality time together.

All in all it was a pretty good/successful weekend. I feel restful in general, regenerated in my business, and recharged/loved in my personal life.

Hope your weekend was as good as mine!

Love Y'all

Manic Monday... I mean Tuesday

So like I said yesterday I'm doing Manic Monday on Tuesday because it was a holiday weekend and Monday wasn't too manic. However today was twice as manic becasue it was like Monday and Tuesday rolled into one!

I started the day off kinda slow by hitting snooze on my alarm and sleeping an extra hour, which was nice because my boss/director called me the night before and said she didn't need me til later in the day. When I did wake up I did my usual morning routine by checking text messages and voicemails, then checked e-mails and facebook all while still in bed (you gotta love smart phones). I finally got up and went to heat up my brunch, when I couldn't find the biscuits I had made the night before I texted hubby and found out he had taken them all for breakfast and lunch, so that's when my day started to get behind schedule. I had to make a fresh batch of biscuits because I had them on the brain and really wanted them, while they were cooking I jumped in the shower, then ate my breakfast and finished getting ready. I caught up on my fellow bloggers, then headed out for the day.

 My director had called me earlier that morning and asked me to pick up her orders from Kinkos and the MK distrubtion center (I was going there anyway). I try not to be an aggresive driver exspically now cause I have my MK sticker on my car but some times I can't help it, people are idiots. So on my way to kinkos I came up to an intersection and the light had just turned green but my lane wasn't moving becasue some jackass guy was blocking the entire intersection. the stupid part was that he was trying to get into the left lane that was back all the way up, but there was nobody in the right lane, I mean really how stupid can you be! 

I got about half way to C's house and realized I forgot to get the crockpot out and start dinner, after I promised L I would have something done for dinner even though I was going to be at work later than usual. Oh Well I thought to myself, he'll deal. haha :)  Once I got to C's house it was non stop for 3 hours, it being the end of the month we are really busy, but exspecially today because we are getting ready for our last month in the MK calendar plus trying to finish up our first PINK CADILLAC production. I was stuffing 130 envelopes with June promotions, sending out new consultant postcards, getting Crazy Sale prizes together, and putting a red bucket together for our new Red Jacket! I didn't even get around to birthdays, anniversaries, or Grand Days winners. 

I finally left about 15 til 5 and had to rush to the post office to get all the letters in before the last pick up, and then rush home before my meeting at 7 to finally get dinner ready. I also had to stop at the grocery store to get the ranch dressing for dinner. I made it home in time to put dinner together, change clothes, talk to the hubby for a few mintutes then I was back out the door headed to my meeting. We had a fabulous meeting tonight, I love my Unstoppable Unit and looking forward to what June has instore for us. I finally got home about 9:45 and ate dinner with the hubby, then L went to bed and left me with my favorite part of my day... me time.. to sit back relax and blog about my day.

So that was my Manic Monday Tuesday, how was yours?
