Days Like Today
It's days like today that I reflect on my life and what I want for myself.
I want to spend my time doing things I love
I want to be a loving wife
I want to be a grateful daughter
I want to be a caring friend
I want to give to others in need
I want to live my life with a song in my heart
What do you want for yourself?

Who Doesn't Love Free Makeup?!
I went to the Bare Escentuals store at the mall, today, to pick up some more foundation. If you haven't tried Bare Minerals makeup, you really should. It's awesome!
Anyway, I just happened to go in during their 35 year birthday celebration. Look at all the free stuff I got, and I didn't buy any more than what I came for!
I mean, who doesn't love free makeup?!

You Are Holy
Isaiah 6:1-8 (NIV)
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
I absolutely LOVE this. Picture how beautiful it is. I like to put myself right in the middle of this, right in Isaiah's sandals. It's completely overwhelming. Can you even imagine it?!
This is one of my favorite passages, and therefore, this is one of my favorite songs. Sit back, close your eyes, and soak it in.
P.S. If you are like me, and like to read more than just the specific passages people present to me, be sure to check out the explanation of the Hebrew for the second part of this verse, here. It makes a lot more sense.

Cool Find
I like to use natural body care products, for the most part. I just can't get myself to use the all natural deodorant, and the toothpaste I tried didn't keep my breath from smelling. But, overall, I like to take as many chemicals out of my environment as I can. I actually discovered this years ago, when my mom convinced me to stop using typical acne washes and go with something natural. She told me, "All those chemicals can't be good for your skin." I had amazing success with my skin after switching to a natural body wash. And, shampoo? Don't even get me started. Most shampoos contain an ingredient that can cause blindness. And we rub it all over our heads, and let the shower rinse it down our faces?!
I know that natural stuff like this is typically more expensive, but if you go to the right place, it can be bearable. And, really, who can put a dollar amount on our health? :)
I went the The Vitamin Shoppe (one of the "right" places that you can get natural body care products for cheaper), today, to pick up some shampoo, conditioner, and face soap. I found this!
It's called African Black Soap, and says it's for "acne fighting, detoxifying & healing." The description on the back says, "African Black Soap, made from palm ash, tamarind extract, tar and plantain peel has been used in Africa for centuries to treat eczema, acne, oily skin, psoriasis, and other skin ailments." It smells great, too! I can't wait to use it.
