Faithful Friday: Christian with a temper

Hello again!

Thank you for joining me today. I was thinking about Faithful Friday posts' the other day while driving to work and this popped into my mind. Partially because I deal with this often. Probably more often than I'd like to admit. haha! But also because I feel like sometimes people feel the need to make themselves appear "perfect" to others. Speaking from a Christian standpoint, I know we are called to be "Christ like" and as a result we are judged harshly if we fail to do so. I have found that regardless of your religious views you are still judged harshly!

Now let's get to the topic...

My temper

Gasp! Yes, folks. I said "TEMPER"

If you know me personally, then you know that I can have a pretty bad temper. I'm not a raging crazy lady who flies off the handle at every single thing. However, I think I tend to get mad a lot faster than most people. I also tend to get annoyed easily. Let's just say that if someone needs to get mad about something, I am more than willing! (wink wink)

You might be thinking that it's not "OK" for me to have a bad temper because I am a Christian. Well, let me tell you something, my friend. God knows ALL about me and this temper of mine. I have prayed about this (A LOT) and sometimes I am able to control my temper and sometimes I don't want to control it and I loose my mind! That doesn't mean that I don't feel guilty for letting God (and myself) down when I do lose control but I am human, I am a sinner, I am not perfect. Part of growing as a Christian is changing. Someday (God willing) I will have better control of my temper but for now I will continue to struggle with it.

I wanted to share this with you all because I don't like the perception that Christian's have to be perfect. First of all, If you are a Christian and you think you are perfect, read this next sentence carefully

IF YOU WERE PERFECT THEN YOU WOULDN'T NEED JESUS. Yep, I said it!

Read it again if you have to. We are all sinners and you better get on your knees and thank God for His mercy and grace!

This is something that I struggle with pretty much every day. It can be hard to deal with at times and I'm not afraid to admit that. I wish I could tell you where this temper comes from or why I am the way I am but I have no clue! I guess this is just me, or maybe it's because I am so short and I have too much energy stored up in this tiny body. haha! Whatever the cause might be, it is an obstacle for me and I try as hard as I can (most of the time) to control my temper.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. I hope you enjoyed this post even though it was a bit of a ramble. If you share the same struggle or something similar and feel like sharing with the rest of us, please do.

I hope you all have a wonderful and well tempered weekend ;)

See you back on Monday!

Until next time...

Xoxo,

Get Ready With Me: Sick, but you'd never know it!

Welcome back! We've all had days when we're feeling under the weather and would rather stay in bed all day. Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to do so. I had one of these days this past weekend... it was Jr. Prom night for my nephew which means, photos with Auntie (he loved it, trust me) Here are my tips and tricks on how to look your best when you're feeling your worst. Let's get started... First things first, start with a clean face. Then, moisturize and prime your skin. I used a heavier moisturizer under primer because my skin tends to get very dry when I'm not feeling well. An oldie but goodie is Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer. This is about $5 at Target or drugstores. Concealing is always important. Especially when you're sick. I applied Age Rewind under my eyes and Dream Lumi around my nose to hide extra redness. I blended them in with my fingers using light patting motions. I evened out my complexion with two fairly recent products...

Adela's at home pedicure

Welcome back! Spring is officially here which means warmer weather and cute sandals! It's time to get those tootsies back in shape! Now I can admit, a professional pedicure can be nice. But if you are short on time and want to save some cash why not do it at home? Today I'll share my at home pedicure routine. I do this year round (Once a month in the winter. Twice a month in the spring/summer). Let's get started... Here are the supplies you'll need: A towel Nail Polish remover Cotton balls Sugar scrub Bath Salts Lotion Manicure kit Cuticle oil Cuticle remover Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle Nail file Buffer Pumice stone Correcting pen Orange stick Clippers Cuticle clippers Base coat Top coat Polish of your choice Large bowl to soak your feet I know that seems like a lot, you probably already have these items. If not, you can find most of them at your local dollar store. Step 1. Remove old polish. This is the polish remover I use. Any brand will work. Step...

I went shopping!

Hello again, Let's be honest, we all love to see what others buy. I know I do! I've picked up some new beauty products and I thought I'd share them with you. This is several trips/purchases put together in one post. Grab a snack and some iced tea. It's going to be a long one! Here are the goods. Some are repurchases, some are new. I can't wait to dig into these babies! I'll say a bit about each product. Covergirl Clump Crusher- I've been a long time fan of Covergirl mascaras. Clump Crusher has made it's way into my favorite spot. It has a plastic brush with a curve to it so it easily reaches all of the lashes. As the name implies it doesn't clump AT ALL! I didn't believe it till I tried it and now I alway have a tube of this. I stock up when it's buy one get one 50% off. I ordered the next three products off Hautelook a few weeks ago. This is the foundation I always use. It's several shades swirled together as a liquid then baked on a ...
