Petal Play



I can't tell you how much I've been lusting after this necklace since it first showed up in the J.Crew Spring Collection.  It's such a great pieces and can be worn so differently.  (Like this or this)
It makes me totally forget that it's 20 degrees out and I really should be wearing a jacket...
 I've also been experimenting with new editing.  Thoughts on the photos?

 I was listening to Pastor Mark Driscoll of Seattle's Mars Hill Church and he had a little theology thought that I just loved.  He called it the Cat and Dog Theology.  That a pet owner takes great care of his cat and dog and basically spoils them and makes sure they're 100% cared for.  The cat thinks, "Wow I must be one amazing cat because I'm so loved" while the dog things, "Wow my master is the greatest master in the world".  I want to think more like a dog.  I get so caught up in thinking that I do all this stuff to deserve what I have- as if I've earned it, when in truth, I'm ridiculously blessed and need to be praising my Master.  Love that.

  17. I love those glasses! Super cute. I like the analogy you listed, too. I'd definitely like to have a "dog like" mentality (in re: to the analogy of course). I just want to keep on serving, loving, worshiping, praising, and glorifying Him because He is so worthy of it.

  24. Love the cat and dog story! I think we all need to take on a more "dog" personality haha. Its true - we tend to think we deserve everything we get, but honestly, we don't. So each positive thing in our life is a blessing from our Master!
    Anyway, loving that cute statement necklace and the pretty pink jeans. That pale, pastel shade is just lovely!
    So glad to have found your adorable blog.
