Sunday Funday!

I was planning to get my hair done today (to get rid of the icky color it is now) but that has been postponed until tomorrow night. So, Nathan and I did a little shopping today. Found a few bargains at Marshalls and some at Gordmans. Yesterday I got a new pair of boots, a necklace, and a pair of earrings. Today I got a pink shirt and 2 pairs of earrings. I've been in such a rut lately with my fashion, hair, etc... I'm trying to get back that excitement I had before. The more pink and sparkle I buy, the better I feel! (*chuckles*)

I did weigh in tonight, *drum roll please*, and the results are in!!! I've lost 8 pounds, 1 inch from chest, 1 inch from waist, and 2 inches from my hips! All of that in just 1 week!!! I'm excited to see what the next week brings! You can learn more about what I'm doing and follow my challenge at : LaceyBeauty.bodybyvi.com

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
God loves to use weak people.
We think that God only wants to use our strengths, but he also wants to use our weaknesses for his glory.
God has never been impressed with strength or self-sufficiency.
A weakness is any limitation that you inherited or have no power to change.
Admit your weaknesses. Own up to your imperfections. Stop pretending to have it all together, and be honest about yourself.
Be content with your weaknesses.
Contentment is an expression of faith in the goodness of God. Whenever you feel weak, God is reminding you to depend on him.
Our weaknesses also prevent arrogance.
Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.
Honestly share your weaknesses. The more you let down your guard, take off your mask, and share your struggles, the more God will be able to use you in serving others.
Vulnerability is emotionally liberating. Opening up relieves stress, defuses your fears, and is the first step to freedom.
Humility is not putting yourself down or denying your strengths; rather, it is being honest about your weaknesses.
At some point in your life you must decide whether you want to impress people or influence people.
The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection, but credibility.
Glory in your weakness.
Instead of posing as self-confident and invincible, see yourself as a trophy of grace.
