My TJ Maxx experience

This past weekend I ventured out to one of my favorite stores, TJ Maxx. I was with my mom and sister and her friend. As always, I found a perfect new accessory for my home. So after I paid for this beauty and started for the door, I was approached by four teenagers. They proceeded to ask me if they could pray over me. They told me they were part of a ministry that was traveling around the community and praying for strangers. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and they said I stuck out to them because of the cheery color I was wearing. My first reaction was hesitant because I was completely taken back by this act of kindness and honestly a little uncomfortable. Then I thought about it and I couldn’t reject a fellow Christian or prayer for that matter. So these random guys prayed over me inside of TJ Maxx with tons of people watching (it was a Saturday afternoon, probably the busiest time of the week). I’m not going to lie, it was a little awkward and I would never have the guts to do this. But I was proud of these four guys for being such wonderful servants of our Lord Jesus. I was completely humbled by the experience. Has this ever happened to you or have you been on the other side and reached out to a complete stranger?

Thank you Jesus for revealing yourself to me this weekend. I pray that you would use me in the same way you are using these teenagers and I pray for you to bless their lives.

Fabulous makeover

I found this furniture makeover on Better Homes and Gardens website. Now I just need to find a piece of furniture to do this to! I guess I need to find the time too, work gets in the way, don't you think?!

I'm a nerd

I love Miley Cyrus...I know, I'm such a nerd! I know that its no surprise to any of you that I love anything Disney related. So of course I'd love Miss Miley! I don't think I'll ever grow up totally and I'm ok with that (I did see her movie too and it was super cute if you like cheesy movies like me). I love to listen to her new song in the car and sing it out at the top of my lungs!! Love it! It makes me happy! I'm sitting at my desk at work, listening to the radio through my headphones. Her song comes on the radio and I can't help but sway back and forth. Click here for the video.

I have no idea why I posted that. I guess I just don't have anything exciting to say! Life is good though! Oh, I have been working on some more projects around the house. I'll post about that soon! And the blog is kind of under construction. I'm trying to be more creative with it.
Have a fabulous week everyone!

Home Shopping Network

I've never been one to watch the home shopping network or QVC for that matter. But ever since I realized that Paula had a line, I'm hooked! I love Paula Abdul's jewelry she wears every night on Idol. Several of her pieces are sold out but I did purchase this super cute bracelet for my mom for mothers day:




Check out Tori Spelling's jewelry too! Love it!
