My Lush Haul May 18, 2009

Over the weekend, I was in Orlando and I went to the Lush store at the Florida Mall.  It was my first time at Lush… of course I went crazy because I saw too many youtubers showing off their Lush.  This is what I got Figs and Leaves soap, Sexy peel [hubby loved this one], Honey I washed the kids [of course], Porridge soap, Sultana of soap, Ice blue [hubby loved this one too].  I also got Buffy, fresh farmacy face soap and a sample of the vanishing cream [came in a small black jar], i also asked for free samples of the tea tree oil toner [cause it burned my hand when tried it], and the rub rub rub scrub.  and i also got a free gift of a massage bar forgot its name.. but its for sore muscles …

so far i’ve tried ice blue and sexy peel, and loved them.  I will post a full review in a few days.. after i’ve used both a few times..

Devotion: Overcoming Difficult Times May 15, 2009

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God”
(Psalm 42:5-6, NIV).

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

When times get tough, don´t be surprised if you feel a heaviness trying to overwhelm you. Don´t be surprised if you hear negative thoughts telling you, “It´s never going to work out. Things are never going to get better. It´s over. It´s done.” When those thoughts come, remember, you have a choice–you don´t have to believe those lies. You don´t have to get on board with your emotions.

In the Bible, David encountered many difficult situations. That spirit of heaviness tried to steal his destiny. He got depressed and discouraged, but do you know what he did? He started talking to himself. He said, “Why are you cast down, oh my soul? Put your hope in the Lord.” He was saying, “David, snap out of it! Why are you discouraged? Why have you lost your joy? God is still on the throne, and He still has good things in store.” When that heaviness tries to come on you, do what David did. As you put your trust in the Lord and praise Him, He´ll give you His strength and empower you to overcome every obstacle you may face!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for the strength to overcome the difficult times. I choose to shake off the spirit of heaviness by praising and worshiping You. I bless You today and always. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
