Things I LOVE!- The End

Here we are at the end of my LOVE list. It's one day late.....but yesterday was full of obligations, fun, and school/work commitments.....oh yeah and also Waffle House;)

On this day 7, I wanted to share this book that I am loving reading. The Five Love Languages Singles Edition is connecting with me on multiple levels. I even shared it with my sister, and she is gobbling it up too! We NEVER share reading interests so this is saying something.

The whole idea is that life is full of loving relationships...and we reap problems when we don't see that love is expressed in a variety of ways. 5 to be exact, according to the book.

You (pretty much anyone....though there is a version for couples) will really enjoy this book. I am almost ready to bet on it!
Have a fabulous week....my family comes to visit on Friday. I am pumped. The End!

Things I lOVE!- Part 6

On the Lord's Day.....sometimes I like to call it that....rings better than Sunday to my ears:)

Anyway, on this Lord's Day my favorite thing is a small part of the prayer of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. This tragicically, beautiful scene always takes me back powerfully to the sacrifice that was given for me. The raw emotion of Jesus as he talked to his father sheds so much light on his character and his love, and his dedication, and his concerns.

Today and almost everyday some of my favorite words of Jesus....that I borrow ALL the time as I pray are....

Matthew 14:36
"And he said Abba Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not what I will, but what you will."

Things I LOVE!- Part 5

* Note I actually wrote this late last night..but didn't post it until today!*

I am not supposed to still be up! Sigh....however I was rewarded for my "nightowl" ways by stumbling across the absolute, most fabulous, little girls birthday party idea ever!!!

If I had the funds, more creativity, and the child I would be ALL over this party idea. I mean it when I say I adore every single thing about this party!!! I mean my jaw dropped wide open when I saw all the details:)

Thanks to Anj and her blog for the inspiration. May I re-present the Night Owl Party (insert thundering applause).

Things I LOVE!- Part 4

With the last of my energy I wanted to quickly add a little interesting reading to my LOVE list. I hope by now you have realized that I am inspired by Valentine's Day and the idea (commercial and not) of love. I have a few more LOVES to share and then I will be moving on:)

From my fav., NPR online I present an article from their series of articles hidden world of girls.

Things I LOVE!- Part 3

                                        
Today in Expressive Arts class we did a music therapy activity with this song. We sat in the dark classroom doing nothing but letting these words wash over us. I had never heard it before! It is truly beautiful and I was about to cry then and now as I sit and am fully present with these gorgeous lyrics.

This song brings up the emotionful (my own word) part of Sabrina. The part that I do not listen to too often because life gets busy. And I am usually the practical one. And because being emotionful does not always feel that great. But then again sometimes it does!

However, in the spirit of sharing things I LOVE.....I HAD to share this with you all because it is true and lovely and very touching for me at this present time. Have a great weekend!

Things I LOVE!- Part 2

Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.” Unknown

How true is this quote? How perfecfely does it sum up those beautiful, blessed friendships that I am lucky enough to have in my life!? I don't get to see my precious friends as much as I would like....but we are still bonded tight.

There are 7 ladies who are on my fictional bridemaids list. I feel as if that quote could be applied to each and every one!! That is an amazing and humbling thought!!

Things I LOVE!

"Someday, when I'm awfully low, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight." Frank Sinatra




Since I can't escape the Valentine's Day sales pitches....I might as well go along for the ride:)

I LOVE the song lyrics above. Going with that theme. Here is a beautiful glow inspiring look that I could possibly pull off if funds were no problem. Maybe later on I will do a look based in reality;)
