It's been awhile. I moved to college a month ago 2 days from now (August 15th). That means I haven't been home to work on the things I want to get finished, nor have I had the time, BUT I did want to post this quick little snippet of some things in my dorm room.
Before I actually get into my dorm stuff, I wanted to mention my last gifts "board":

| I began counting in August of 2013. A little over one thousand gifts are displayed right here: some very, very, very difficult to accept, others as easy as breathing. It was a highlight of my week last week to read these when I went home, reminding me of all the beautiful (small and big, easy and hard) things God places everywhere in every season, literally and metaphorically, to remind me of His love for me. It's been a hard year, but I think it's been one of my favorites, which I wouldn't and couldn't have said three months ago. |
I'm starting afresh. I finished this super fun gifts board today:
 ^ All it is is sticky notes and a bulletin board. The simplicity of counting gifts. Counting the things I'm grateful for. The big and the little, the hard and the easy things. It's based off of the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I absolutely adore Ann and she inspires people to live in gratitude daily. I've come to realize that the grass is greener where you water it. When you choose to find the good in every situation (yes, even those you may think that there is no good), you enjoy your life more. Really, it's true. We get the choice to be content with what we HAVE. Life as it is, not as it "should be." | |
Another thing I made was this necklace rack:

Yes, it's a stick painted white. That's literally all.

Just because. Here's a little (unfinished) corner of my room.
Thank you for being awesome.
