hello world!
so i have been a little busy here it seems..at least the past couple of weeks. i trained a new receptionist at work so i will be working much less until school starts so i am very thankful! school starts in a few short weeks and i am pretty excited. i’m also working on this little project on true beauty and…well, will see what that comes out to be. : ) i’ll explain all about it some other time.and….i got accepted to go on a shoe drop with TOMs shoes in argentina!! ( note: TOMs is a shoe company and for every pair you purchase they give a pair to a child in need. to see what a shoe drop is click here. ) i did the application process to go on a trip a couple months ago and really didn’t think that i would make it in, so when i got the call a couple nights ago i was so thankful. it is such a blessing the way that the Lord works. it really is! when you truly seek Him and His will, and surrender your own plans to Him…He opens doors in ways that you would have never thought possible.
what else…oh, i’ve been reading a couple of books such as: boy meets girl by: josh harris, respectable sins by: jerry bridges and do hard things by: brett and alex harris. i really love do hard things and the message it portrays. it is has definitely opened my eyes to new ideas and encouraged me to not settle for mediocrity and complacency. there are five kinds of hard that they list in the book…
1. things that are outside your comfort zone
2. things that go beyond what is expected or required
3. things that are too big to accomplish alone
4. things that don’t earn immediate payoff
5. things that challenge the cultural norm
well, there’s a really little update for now. just a glimpse. i have so much to learn… but right now i’m very grateful and each day is such a blessing. i’m really thankful for certain friendships in my life right now and for His grace that keeps me running to Him.. loving Him and pursuing Him above all. let His joy shine in your life today friends..
much love,
arielle.
