Summer Loving
It’s
Saturday morning. Lately, I have the
tendency to wake up early every single morning. Naturally. No alarms, no
interruptions to my slumber, and no true intentions for waking up so early. 6:30am-7:30am. Every day. While many people would call that torture, I like to think of it as grace.
God provides us with so much. And
while we, humanity, naturally complain and are not truly satisfied a lot of times, we should be waking up every morning with the mentality of thanksgiving
because we are alive and free through the blood and redemption of Jesus Christ.
I have come to be truly thankful for earlier
mornings. They give me more clarity in
my life. They give me the chance to
plan, reflect and think through my thoughts, behaviors, actions and motives in
life. They provide more time for me to
be proactive and productive. They enable
me to have more time to spend with sweet Jesus and His words. Though I do love my sleep, and being able to
sleep in, I’ve learned to appreciate God’s grace in waking me up early and spending
more time with Him. It’s time for me to focus
on the positives in life, and stop worrying about the “what-if,” possibilities,
and negativity that “could” happen. There
is always a positive to a negative, it all depends on the angle of how you look at it.

With
all that said… Summer is now merely a balloon being released into the
abyss-sky; in the distance where you can still see it but it’s nowhere near
your reach and soon will be too far to see.
Haha. On a happier note, SENIOR
year of my college career will begin in T-minus 2 days! I am beyond excited for this next year. I feel that it will be rigorous, tedious and a
lot of commitment, but I am hopeful in the outcome. May my fears, stress, tears and doubts be given to
my Almighty God.

A FEW THINGS
Y’all,
I cannot express how hooked I was to this book! I started and finished this
book all in one day. ONE DAY. How crazy! It is a MUST read. Sadly, A
Voice in the Wind is the first book to the Mark of the Lion series and I
have not had the time to get my hands on the next books in the series. But, I do most HIGHLY recommend this good read
and cannot wait to get a hold of the next books in the series.
Recipe:
Guys. I have to share. Recently, my sweet Chu baby and I made some DELICIOUS from-scratch red velvet cheesecake brownies. They were soooooo yummy. Definitely going to incorporate these sweethearts more into my baking. Here's the recipe we used:

Weddings:
There
is just something about weddings that I adore so much. All my life I have always enjoyed attending
and watching weddings. Weddings are so
breathtaking, precious and truly a pure and joy moment for me. This summer consisted of many of those
moments. Just wanted to share this one in particular:
So PRECIOUSSSS! My heart is so full.
May your day be merry and bright! Happy weekend, y'all!
