Fab Five Friday {48}

Every Friday we reflect on our week and post Five Fabulous things.

Sometimes it is not always easy.

But, we do it!

We ponder on the good of our week.

We encourage you to do the same.

Share with us!!

We love reading how your week has been too!!

1) This week I am grateful for:
Falen:  The power of prayer.

Laura:   All the wonderful and exciting blessings in my life.  This verse has never meant as much to me as it has lately.  I am blown away by how He is working in my life...far beyond what I could have even imagined.  And the best part is that I know it doesn't stop here.  "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"  Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV).

2) This week I enjoyed:
Falen:  Dinner out last night at a new little diner my husband discovered.

Laura:  Visiting with a close friend I haven't seen since Christmas and finally meeting her fiance.  Can't wait to watch them get married in August.

 3) This week I learned:

Falen:   The cast, while inconvenient, is not putting a huge damper on this girl's summer.  She is still having a good ole time, albeit away from water.

Laura:  That I made Dean's List this past semester!! :)

4) This week I accomplished:
Falen:  Pouring out my heart in this post after having many vivid and real feeling dreams.  If you haven't read it yet, go.  

Laura:  Crafts with the kids for Father's Day.
5) I am looking forward to:
Falen:  #COFFEEANDJESUS in the morning, two Arbonne parties this weekend, and church on Sunday.
Laura:  My best friend should be having her baby any day now.  I know she's looking forward to not being pregnant anymore and I'm looking forward to meeting this little monster :).

We look forward to hearing from you every week. So, please share something the positive from your week. We love to learn about you, engage with you, and get to know you.
Have a great weekend!!    Linking Up With:

Into the Word {47}

Into the Word Wednesday is a link up and blog hop where fellow Christian bloggers share something they have learned this week while Into the Word. If you are a Christian blogger, feel free to connect and follow other bloggers who are sharing their recent steps of their walk with the blogosphere! If you are not a blogger and you are interested in reading more biblically based posts, scroll down and click until your heart desires.

Reading Ephesians 1-3 for #COFFEEANDJESUS this Saturday, and within the first four verses words like 
saint,  faithful,  grace,  peace,  blessing,  chosen,  holy,  and blameless 
are all used to describe the reader.  
Quick Question:
Would you use those seven adjectives to describe yourself?

We would LOVE it if you linked up with a post about what God is showing you in the Word or in your life. Please also stop by and see what God has been teaching each co-hosts this week:

Please know...

I wake up so angry.  I am mad.  I am infuriated.  I am heartbroken.

I want to hold your face in my hands, look you into the eyes, and tell you something you need to know.  I don't want to tell you something sweet and encouraging, because "that's how she is" or "that's just what she does." No.

I want you to open your yes.  

The veil to be lifted. 

The lies to be exposed.  

The fog to fade.  

The truth to be known.  

By you.

I want you to know that what I am about to say is true, attainable, nonfiction, not only a possibility--but a reality to be had.  I want you to know this message is for you.

I want you to know this deep within your soul. Imprint it on your heart. Never forget it. 

Don't let the negative thoughts,
words of others,
mistakes of your past,
the situation you are in,
the trials you face,
or the lies of the enemy
to rob you of this truth.

You ready for it?

You are loved.

Yes, you!

You do not need a man to love you to feel and be loved.

The best behaved children to determine your worth and value.

The perfect marriage to feel constant adoration.

The validation of those around you to feel valued and affirmed.
To constantly act a certain way to get people to like you.
A certain number of followers on Twitter to feel heard.

Please understand the sincere and passionate truth in these statements:

You are treasured.

You are loved.

You are pursued.

You are worth more than you will ever know.

Please stop letting the mistakes and failures of your past keep you from the truth that you are a princess to the King of Kings.

Please stop accepting defeat, pain, and a life without hope and peace as the norm.

Please stop settling for less than when there is so much greatness ahead of you.

Please stop wallowing in the victim of life's circumstances puddle and rise up to the royal position you are called.

There is so much more for you, baby girl.

You are destined for greatness.

Step into it.

You are more than you think you are.

God is closer than you think He is.

I love you.
