Day 3

I love my job!

I don't think there is another place on earth quite like Hope Family Thrift Store.

Not only do I get to work for a Christian organization, but I also get to say that 100% of our profits go to helping disaster survivors. The people that I work with are great and it's nice to have a part time job to supply some wants in my life.

It's not perfect, after all the let me in the door, but I'm thankful I get to work there.

And today we are having our monthly 50% off almost everything in the store. So if you get a chance come by and see us. We will be running around like crazy, but happy that we get to work for such a great place. Always a new adventure and challenge.

I love the job that God has given me.

Simply Time To Get Ready

Hello there everyone.

These past couple of weeks have been crazy for me. Between parties, ASL class, helping a neighbor, and doing things around the house, life has been pretty crazy.

But over the past few days God has been giving a lot of peace about the future. We've been talking about what I am going to do next year. Now we are working on finishing out the year well.

I'm trying to finish the challenges that I set for myself last year. Memorizing 1st Peter (almost there), writing more (done), trying out 1 new recipe a week (done), read all the books people have given me (almost there), enjoy more time with family (Happy to say yes).

Let's try to take the last few weeks we have in 2012 and finish well. Complete the challenges we gave ourselves. Finish what we started. It's never easy, but it's always worth it.

To be honest this year turned out very differently than I thought. But I am so happy for all that I got to do. I'm so excited to see what God has for me in 2013.

Simple Fashion Challenge

By Rose H. 

If you could only wear two skirts (or favorite pair of jeans) for a whole week? How would you accessorize it to make it different for each day? 

This is what I hope to figure out from the 22nd to the 28th of this month. For 7 days I’ll be wearing my 2 favorite skirts and different shirts to see what kind of combinations I can come up with. 

What’s the purpose of this challenge? One of things that I talk about regularly on this blog is being content with what you have. When I am out shopping it’s so easy to justify buying the cute shirt or flowery skirt. I really don’t need it, but I like getting new things. But if you take a quick look in your closet and drawers you’ll notice that you have everything you need (and most of what you want). What I want to do is make the most of what I have. 

So are you up for the challenge? Then let’s begin. Here are the rules.

1.       Choose 2 skirts or pairs of pants, or one skirt and a pair of pants to wear all week. Then choose tops and shirts to go with it.

2.       Post 1 picture every day of your outfit on your personal blog or Facebook.

3.       You can’t buy anything new for this challenge. Use what you have.

4.       Have fun! Mix it up. Try new things. Just enjoy yourself. Rock your own style. 

Here are a few tips to get you started. 

1.       Try to pick skirts or pants that are in neutral colors that way it will be easy to match.

2.       Try setting out your clothes ahead of time if you know that you’re going to be busy.

3.       Grab a friend and do it together.

4.       Check and see what other people are doing. You can play copy-cat if you want.

The whole purpose of this challenge is to simplify and to use what you have. Sometimes we don’t really see all that we have until we challenge ourselves to see beyond what we want.

So are you ready? I’ll see you back here on the 22. And let me know if you plan to do this challenge too. I would love to see what you all come up with.

And keep a look out on Virtuous Girlhood and Bramblewood Fashion to see what they comes up with.
