FiFtEeN Things in 2015!!

I have thought about writing so many times.....even opened the app, and attempted to start a new post....

But the thing is.....I have so much to say, yet nothing flows!  So.....what's a girl to do??

I am really good at making lists.....so, that's what I'll do.....I'll make a bucket list for 2015!  And I hope, one day soon...you can stop here with your cup of coffee....kick up your feet, and stay a while...but in the meantime...

15 Things I Want to do in 2015: (in no particular order)

1.  Make it through an entire Pandora rotation without skipping songs.

2.  Cook 10 different recipes from Pinterest....seriously, I have some awesome stuff pinned!

3.  Go on a trip by myself...and not pick up my phone!!!!

4.  Get over all of my 'its'....

5.  Find that waistline from 12th grade....(OK...maybe not that exact one....but come pretty close)

6.  Lie in a truck bed on a summer night, and chat it up with him (I will always be a hopeless romantic)

7.  Promote to Triple Diamond!

8.  Pay off the last of my consumer debt with the exception of my dang student loans!

9.  Be more present. Slow down. Live in the moment. Take it all in. Listen more!

10.  Go to Taste of Texas Restaurant....how have I lived in Houston all this time, and haven't gone yet?!

11.  Get my gun license...

12.  Really try to see everyone the way God sees them....not just the ones I like, and not just the ones that don't get on my nerves...Love folks....afterall, it is what the world needs now...#cheeseball

13.  Be open....open heart, open arms, just let Jesus do His thing in my life, and chill the heck out!

14.  Blog more!  And be real on the blog, (not that I'm ever fake), I just let the fact that folks are up to no good stop me from doing it more often and freely...but I can't control that now can I.....and folks out there need to hear what I have to say (or do they....over analyzing....this is ALL the time....and could probably be a blog post).

15.   Be a better Jarvis! And wear shorts! (I hate my thighs <<< add finding those HS thighs to #5 too!!)

I have loved this little activity....I'm going to print this list, and report back hopefully, having accomplished most or all of them!

Peace...all over the world.....seriously!  <><  ~J

Fall = Changes!

I.love.Fall. I don't know if it's the turtlenecks, cute designer jeans, the boots, or the fact that the humidity is gone in Houston, and my hair doesn't frizz...I just love it!

While it's not completely Fall here, the temperatures are dropping, and I anticipate the change. Anticipation...that's a good word to describe this season that I'm in! I'm totally focused on my 90 day plan, and while the road is not always an easy one, I know the end result will be worth the blood, sweat, and tears.

I know my life is changing, and while I can't verbalize it...I just know it. For the heck of being random, and because it's my blog, I CAN at least tell you of some little changes that I've made so far...

1. I've switched my toe nail polish to a deeper pink that I love to bring in the new season...life changing I know...lol!
2. I started taking a daily vitamin, and it makes me SO HUNGRY...I don't know if that's a good or bad thing yet...I'll keep you posted!
3. I bought some really cute Christmas decorations, and I'm still searching for the perfect Christmas stockings!
4. I've started reading the Twilight series, and I had NO desire to...but I caved!
5. I joined a book club with some ladies from work...super pumped about that!
6. I'm in the process of completing my dream poster, destination 30! YIKES!!! I have about 13 1/2 months to go, so I better get busy!
7. I'm participating in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure next month...

After focusing on some things during this time...here's what hasn't changed:
1. I still struggle with pride and having humility
2. My tongue is still one of the quickest out there...ugh!
3. I love ministry...excited to see what God does here
4. I'm still very much so impatient!
5. Sometimes I seriously wonder how God puts up with me....thank you Lord!
6. God's mercies are new EVERYDAY, GREAT is His faithfulness...

Changes are everywhere in my life, and I can only pray that they keep coming as part of the Lord's will!

I'll write more later...maybe I'll include a pick of my cute feet...HA!

P.S. My back has been hurting since Wednesday, so please say a prayer for me for God's healing! Just to let you know the seriousness, I took an 800 mg Motrin tonight, and if you know me at all, you know I NEVER TAKE PAIN MEDS!!!

Goodnight...leave me a comment if you'd like!
