{2} Paste it into Microsoft Word.

{3} Select "Format Picture".

{4} Select "Washout".

{5} Hit print!

Happy Sunday!

#oneword {twenty13}

Grab a nice hot cup of coffee {or tea if that is your preferences}, and join me in discussing twenty13. This idea first popped up over at beauty in humble places, but since then I've seen it several times over the bloggy and interwebs world. The idea is to pick one word to encompass your goals and resolutions for twenty13. I had to ponder and research this for a bit, but I settled on a word that I believe matches my current aspirations.

• to bring to a fine or pure state; free from impurities
• to purify from what is coarse, vulgar, or debasing; make elegant or cultured
• to become pure
• "I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The Lord is our God.' Zechariah 13:9b."

Why refine?

Because it is transforming from our human state of thinking and acting, into a Christ-like state. 

Because it is denying our cross and taking His.

Because it is becoming who we are truly meant to be.

When I went to Pinterest for some visual inspiration, I ended up looking at a lot of pictures of ballerinas {bear with me}. To perform ballet is to train your body to do something that is not easy or natural. It takes dedication and time. The same could be said for Christianity. It is not within our human nature to be unselfish, but through training and practice, we can be refined.

{see the entire twenty13 board here}

There it is then. So simple and yet so weighty. In twenty13, I resolve to be . . . refined.

Six Things Saturday

1. I took this picture when I took the pictures for my blog header, and I just really liked it. Hence, I'm sharing it with you :)
2. I ROCKED my final exam for 390. Now, if only I can pass my practical exam {OSCE} on Monday, I will be on to bigger and better things!
3. My sister is in Columbia! Yep. Can you believe it?
4. I have never seen Home Alone, Top Gun, or Forest Gump in their entirety. 
5. First snowfall of the season. Cra-azy!
6. I have been obsessed with trays lately. You know, like the ones you put stuff on to transfer from room to room. Or the decorative ones. Either way, here are some Pinterest finds.

Christmas wishlist maybe?

Happy Saturday!

Shelf Re-Decoration: Fall 2012 Style

So I've talked about these shelves on this blog several times before. And when I Dad first installed them, it was with the intention of decorating them according to the seasons/holidays.

So here was the "Summer" themed decor . . .

. . . and now it is time for "Autumn" {I went a little pine cone crazy}.

 

Isn't that fall printable the best? I got it from Pinterest via here.

 So far, I'm loving fall so much. Definitely, a leading contender for favourite season.
What is your favourite thing about fall?

No. 308 - DIY Ticket Book

So as some of you may remember way back from this post,

I am in the habit of keeping my ticket stubs as a way of reminiscing/journaling.

Well, I decided to find a new way to keep and display my ticket collection,

so I give you the Ticket Book.

Just take a small moleskine book.

And tape a ticket on each page along with thoughts and impressions of the movie.

I also included live theatre tickets.

I also always make sure to write the name{s} of who I went with on the ticket.

Here is another cool ticket idea from Pinterest.

No. 306 - Coffee Love

I saw this cool idea on Pinterest {a lot of blog posts start like that} awhile ago

and decided to do my own interpretation of it.

Thanks to our garage sale adventure, I am now equipped with a Scrabble board

{not for playing, but for photo opportunities, of course}.

Here was my inspiration.
