Life is Like a Vapor...
In an effort to wind down this afternoon, I have indulged in reading some of my favorite blogs and party planning pages... Can you say inspired????? I have been inspired to start back posting regularly, recapping my wedding (now that I have found some photogs of my behind the scenes dyi projects) and just capturing my new journey as Mrs. Turner.
Life is precious...And I want to document as much of it as possible so that our {future}children will be able to possess a priceless piece of our family history. In the three weeks I have been to three funerals {all of whom were near and dear to our hearts} and there has been one common thread amongst all three of these individuals:
James 4:13-15 says," Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away."
I don't want to miss any of the gifts that God gives to us in each moment.... I want to be able to cherish and relish in them.... I want to live a life that is pleasing to God... A life that is purpose driven...
A life where every moment counts!

A Time for Change...
It's all good though... spring is officially here and it's time to change some things in my life.... When I start spring cleaning I don't leave one stone unturned.... I clean from the inside out... I clean naturally and spiritually.... Hey, it has to be done...so why not do it all at once... I don't promote pain...So I always opt for the quick shot and get it over with...
So what's on the agenda to be changed:
- My personal time of devotion {This is the #uno priority; lots of things coming up in my life and lots of things
- My blog {Check}
- My clothing {gotta let some go; I really need to simplify my wardrobe}
- My eating habits {new job=lots of travel=lots of eating out=lots of pound= I have to get it before it gets me}
- My self care {I often find myself taking care of others...now its time to take care of me... mind, body, soul and spirit}
- My house {I have to create a home office}
As you can see everything on my list is about {me} and that is the way that I intended to be. In order for me to be effective in anyone's else life I must first make my life both efficient and effective.
God has truly blessed me and for that I am extremely grateful... I am at a great place in my life right now, but I realize that this is only Elam {a good place but not the place that God has ordained for me}..... I want the Promised Land.... I want place that God has promised to me... I want to the place flowing with milk and honey!
So with that being said... God is changing some things in my life... God is moving and shaking some things.... God is eliminating and elevating somethings.... This is the season for elimination to take place and it starts right here with you and me.... It start right now...
Last week I posted this quote on facebook:
"Sometimes God eliminate things in our lives because He knows that we don't have the strength to do it our ourselves... So if you are going through a process of elimination.... Praise God because His hands are on your life.... After you eliminate... you must ELEVATE... The weights have been lifted and its much easier for you to rise!" #Quote Me by M'Shonta
It's time for change... It's time for God to make some changes in our lives... My Life... My Life... The time is here... It's time for change!
