I'M thankful for some blogging time!

Here's to the start of my longest blog so far:

Week 8: "High-five as many people as possible in one week"
I got 53!! Pretty fantastic since I'm never around any people, none of them were even high-fiving myself! :o
Week 9: "Try a new flavor of Ice Cream" 
After the longest, adventure to try a brand new flavor of Ice Cream I've found one of my favourites that I didn't even know exisisted. . . Yea learn something new everyday!

Week 10: "Jewelry making time" 
Whelp. I'm working on something magical, I promise I will let you know when it's finished.


Week 11: "Make a flag of a country or state that starts with the letter K" 
In honour of MY favourite season - football! Shout out to the Kansas Chiefs!





Week 11: "Leave something at someone's house and see their response" 
Weeellll, completely without thinking of this challenge: I left some dinner & desert that I made for a friend at her house-Curry and Cookies- I guess they ate it? Soooo...pretty enjoyable response, eh?

B-A-N-A-N-A…Go Bananas aaaayyy!!

I chose to translate this with the best way possible...BAKING!!!! I made a new kind of banana bread that I've never made before: Vegan style.
I haven't gotten to taste it yet, but it looks and smells delish!=D 

Here's to hoping it's yummy! Until next time......

Nighttime Adventures in Walgreens!

Somehow I cannot manage to blog on the same day every week. I'm just trying to keep you guys guessing...

This week we were trying to find something odd in a store, now I didn't really go to the store last week - SOOO, FLASHBACK!
I've just brought this picture back to life!
If you can't tell, that is most definitely arthritis cream. Cos, I mean...Don't we all dream of an Australian taking away our arthritis pain!? HA! Love you, Elizabeth! :P

Week: the fifth!

This past week we all tried eating something new. I've always been open to trying new things food wise, as long as it meets my standards. ;P I tried a few new things this week-one being Ham & Pineapple Pizza!? Best thing ever created!!! - but the only thing I have picture proof of is this lovely Green & Gold McFlurry in honour of my team (go pack!) It was delish!=D Fun times at MccyD's...Don't ask how on earth my hands are gripping that thing, i have no clue! :o

Making two wishes on one star!

Hello hello hello!!! So I totally missed last weeks. But today has been totally awesome! (and it's only 9:17AM) =D

Week 3: Carve your Initials in a tree! <SUPER excited to do this, minus the whole sharp object thing, BUT I did use a steak knife, DUDE! it's harder than I thought it would be. . . I worked some magic on this tree!

Week 4: Create a drink, name it!
It worked out perfectly: After I ventured outside to some trees I was Cold and ready for a nice warm drink(;
So basically, I just put my own twist on Hot Cocoa - For right now it's name is "Twisted Cocoa" lol!
I boiled some Soy Milk on the stove and proceeded to melt Nutella and Chocolate Syrup into it, then I added some baking cocoa as to not have it too sweet, marshmallows on top and perfection! I struggled getting it from the pot to the cup, aside from that it was simple AND delicious. I'm drinking it right now!=D

2 down, 50 to go!

Whelp. Friends, I forgot to blog about week two! ?: This last weeks challenge was "buy someone a gift" I DID IT! I really did! I bought a candle and a candle warmer for my fellow challenge buddy. 'Twas fantastic. Hope you can believe me - I don't have proof, only word of mouth.

Week #1: Learn a Sentence in ASL

Seeing as Summer is nearly over and one of the bests is in Switzerland, we only saw it fitting to have a bit of fun this coming year. We've started a 52 weeks challenge! Check in every week to see a new challenge! Here's my first go at it..... Enjoy!

Ladies, the challenge has started! Check it out here:

So...of course, since I have the most time on my hands I spent a little extra time on it! We shall see what the others come up with. . .

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written ‘For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:35-39

I’ve been hearing this a lot lately.  I was intrigued because I've only ever focused on the last verses; this weekend I’ve really only heard verse thirty-seven. It’s pretty crazy the way God does that – speaks different things clearly sometimes and other things clearly at other times.

The word “conquer” is pretty legit already:

·         To be victorious; win.

·         To defeat or subdue by force.

·         To gain possession or control of.

·         To overcome; defeat or surmount

All that stuff IS great. But, the Bible says we are MORE than conquerors – My favourite definition was that even came *close* to defining that was: “To gain a surpassing victory.” We have no right to be that superior, it’s only through HIM who loved us; our relationship with Him has given us victory over death!

Another favourite definition was: “We are pre-eminently victorious”

Pre-Eminently: Surpassing all others; very distinguished in some way.

Right now, I am completely and totally in awe of Jesus Christ and His all-consuming love!!!(:
