The difference between WANT and NEED.

So, I am going through this ridiculous stage in my life where I want all these beautiful things and then I make the mistake of looking and looking and looking, when guess what? I CAN NOT AFFORD IT. I don't have a job, so therefore, I can't exactly afford anything, especially a $200 faux fur vest. I really do want this beautiful vest that I first saw on The Rachel Zoe Project last season, but it is just not a reality right now.

The Lord is intent on humbling me right now. I have applied to a countless number of jobs in the Katy area, and have even interviewed for a handful of them, but have heard nothing but "No" (minus the crazy nannying gig).

At first I was only applying to the glamourous jobs that I have always been so great at, like at a salon. But now, I feel like Jesus is telling me to get over myself and fall on my knees. It is so freeing to know that He will provide for me and give me what I need, but that I have to do it His way. So, I have applied to hair salons, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, gyms, and some clothing stores.

I am now down to my last 50 bucks and I am constantly worrying about what I am going to do when that money is gone, How am I going to put gas in my car? How am I going to pay my credit card bill this month?

I have absolutely no idea.

I do know this though:

God has a plan. He has a purpose. My God is more than enough and He will supply all my needs. I know that there is a reason for this. His way is perfect and beautiful.

My prayer for you is that if you are going through a similar situation that your faith would be strengthened through this time of need.

Praying for you sweet friends.

Much love.

Sweet Blessings

About mid July I started going to a new Sunday morning Bible study called the 9one0. Its a Summit Singles young 20-25ish class. I was really super nervous the first month or so that I was in the class. I felt like I just couldn't connect and I was having a real hard time being myself. Then I decided to just go full force with the whole "get involved" thing and it has truly paid off. I decided to go on the Family Camp retreat and then after that it was like all my walls let down and I was finally able to be me. I have made some absolutely precious friends who I can not thank God enough for. Here are some pictures from a couple weekends ago at Tophers house. They are such sweet blessings. 

Sweet Kristin. I <3 her. 

Some of the freeging awesome ladies, Faith, Amy K., Amy G. and Allison.
Mitchell, Sarah, Kristin and Megan. I heart them.

sexy beach hair

I came across this product about 6 years ago when I was working at an uptown salon and I feel in love. I tend to like my hair messy and beach blown, so if your not a fan, you most likely wont like the product. 

You should first shampoo and condition your hair with a curly shampoo, I recommend Curl Conscious- by bumbleandbumble. Then towel dry hair and spray in Surf Spray and diffuse. Use until you have the desired look and texture. 

Thats the end for today. Let me know if you are a fan or are interested. 

Much love,

A great weekend!

A couple of weekends ago, I went on a retreat with my sunday school class, The 9one0, to volunteer for family camp for the single parent families. It was seriously one of the best weekends of my life. I made so many friends and got to be a apart of a loving community. There were about 25 different families there, along with about 15 of us single adults, and we were basically there to just hang and love on the kids. I had the opportunity to sing with these 2 guys, Ryan and Ryan, and we had a great time. Im so thankful I had that opportunity to serve with them.  Here are some awesome pictures that Topher, the great, took from the trip. :)

-This was just one of the many dancing moments that we had that weekend. Seriously, we danced so much. 
Ryan Baker, myself, and Ryan Adams...They are pretty much amazing at what they do.

You are for ME.

One of the many things Jesus shows me constantly, but tonight especially, is that He is for me. I am chosen by Him. Fearfully and Wonderfully made, wonderful are Your works, O Lord. 

I dont deserve His kind affection but, man, I am so thankful for His love. Is it crazy to any one else how perfectly loved you are? You are forgiven and dearly loved. No matter your sin, "Neither life, nor death, nor angles, nor demons, NOTHING can separate you from His love." 

I have screwed up so much in my life, with my finances, my health, my relationships, you name how I could screw up, and I've done it. Jesus is my redeemer though, and He is faithful to show me that I am forgiven, loved and STILL HOLY! Wow! Me, You, your sister, your brother, mother, dad, friend, enemy, you are still holy. None compares to Jesus. He is my Rock and Redeemer. 

HOLY. Such a small word with such a huge impact on me. 

I am His holy and beautiful child. 

How great is our God. 

This is the lyrics to a song by Kari Jobe called " You are for Me" 

The words speak straight to my soul and I hope they do for you as well. 

Sorry that I was all over the place in this post, the Lord was speaking, and I had to write. Praise MY Abba, Father. 

"You are for Me" - Kari Jobe

So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true
So powerful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are

So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true

So wonderful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me that

I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are

Another New Chapter

This past weekend, my sweet aunt and uncle let me move into their amazing new home. It is a new chapter for all of us here in Katy, but I sure am excited to see how the Lord works here. 

I moved in on Saturday and then started school again on Monday. It is so great to be back at school, something about it feels so different this year, Im excited to be there with all my old girls and the new ones. 

Get ready for a new post about my new room, Chateau' De La Brittany :)

Much love friends!

Any suggestions?

About 5 months ago, a sweet young man asked my sweet sister to be his wife and she said, YES!

In a short 12 days Julie Chariee Burchfield and Simeon Lee Jack will be married. 

I have so much to do in these next 12 days, its not even funny. 

The biggest thing I must do, is write a speech. 

Here is my sweet sister and myself:

Much love guys, Let me know if you have any ideas of how to say what you need to say to your sweet sister the day she is married. :)
