7 Quick Takes Friday - July 13th




A week of real growth in virtue.  Maybe I'll be able to articulate a few of those items here in my quick review!

--- 1 ---

VBS is over in about 3 hours!!!  So excited to have these little ones grow closer to Jesus and then be far away from me for a while!

--- 2 ---

It's been difficult dealing with the crazy chaos of VBS this week, trying my patience many times, but I feel like I've been able to resign myself to only try to take control of what I could - the games station.  Everything else is out of my hands!

--- 3 ---

Work Camp - we're leaving at 5:30am on Sunday!  I can't believe it's here...my first big trip with this youth group!  I pray for a quick, safe drive; growth in the faith of our teens; and growth in our group!

I worked out 5 days this week!!!  3 on the treadmill, 1 4 mile walk with Meredith last night, and rounded out with a journey on the Arc Trainer this morning!  Feeling good, even if I haven't gotten any smaller!

--- 5 ---

Tonight I'm baby-sitting the 5 craziest kids in the world!  I'm praying that all goes well and maybe even a movie night is in our future!

--- 6 ---

So much to do before I go!  Put away t-shirts, move big bin from back of my car, pack my stuff, do laundry, go grocery shopping (for just enough food), print, label, and send out birthday postcards, etc...

--- 7 ---

Also - getting a new chair at my apartment today!  Pretty excited!!!  Finally another place to sit!  I'll post a pic later :)
Loving it! Already making my life much more comfortable!

    Sounds like a great week, but I'm exhausted just reading about it. I have to tell you your blog name and tagline really touched me. I'm going to have to do some research on St. Philip Neri!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series !  A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions:  - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set.  I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick.  So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady.  One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days!  And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary  so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it!   A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee  came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress.  A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville!  She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband.  I said, ...
