I'm thankful for an adventurous spirit! I love to travel!

I'm thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and longs to be good to me! 

I'm thankful for the time I had with my grandpa. It wasn't always easy but it was so worth it! Some days I miss him so terribly terribly much! 

I'm thankful for restoration! And healing my sweet mom. She's a bestfriend of mine. And I'm so glad The Lord is restoring everything the devil tried to take from her. 

I'm thankful for opportunities! For divine appointments & divine opportunities! 

I'm thankful I live in the south. I'll always be southern!

Thankful Thursday: everything!

Hmm what am I thankful for? Everything really! For this post I can't just pinpoint just one thing I'm thankful for! I have so many things to be grateful for! I have so many intricate details going into the big picture. I'm just thankful for life, restoration, redemption, money, etsy, savings, adventures In life, traveling, two growing businesses, clients, customers, ideas, nature, passion, healing, dreams, desires, God, family, peace, grace, people, friends..etc! There is soooo much to be thankful and grateful for! 

I encourage you to grateful for everything! Be grateful that you have a car to drive, a roof over your head & a healthy body. It's a wonderful life, believe it!

Thankful Thursdays: self control

I'm thankful for self control. Not just for eating, but for my words and actions too! I've come to realize I don't need to speak sometimes... or type. Especially when I'm mad. It's not good for anybody in a situation like that. I usually regret the words I say after I say them. 

It's funny I'm usually laid back, mellow, sometimes quiet. But if you get me irritated/mad. Ooh hunny! Run! My sisters and I and a few others were playing imagine if, and it was my turn, and it said imagine if Lauryn was mad. Which storm would she be:

Hurricane

Thunder storm 

Tornado 

And I think they picked tornado... Thanks a lot guys. 

I'm not entirely sure if this is a good thing, but I sometimes feel like Khloe Kardashian and I could be friends. Ever since her sister Kourtney and disiq dude. I just remember how blunt she was! Not saying that's always a good thing but I always believe to always stand up for what you believe in. 

The really funny thing is that I don't really like confrontation! I its not something I long to do with my time. But when it needs to be done, I do it. And the Holy Spirit usually helps me out there. Hallelujah! 

All this to say I'm so thankful for a little on my heart & mouth. So I don't say something I regret. It's a conscience & the Holy Spirit. It works every time I listen.

Thanks & have an amazing week! -Ryn

Thankful Thursday: Healing

Even though it's approaching Saturday, I'm still thankful! I'm thankful for healing! All sorts actually! Healing in marriages, in bodies, manifested healing, healing of self image issues, etc. 

Just the other day, I strained my back. And yet I stood on the word and my back is so much better! I'm thankful for a God who heals! 

What are you thankful for?

   I'm not sure about you, but I'm so thankful for grace! There are times that I look back, and all I can see is a grace filled life. Were there hard times, yes. But my past has been and will forever be covered in grace! 

   I have an image of God, he has a can of red paint, and he's pouring it over my past, future & present. Then he's marking it, and it says "covered". My life is covered in grace. Your life is covered in grace. We have favor wherever we go. Favor is chasing us down & overtaking us! 

   
   

   This is the year of Great Grace. Each of us can choose to walk in it or walk out of it. I'm walking in it for sure! 

   
   

   We didn't do anything to deserve unmerited favor and yet we still get to receive it. That's how cool God is! He just Loves us! He longs to be good to us! 

   
   

   Hope this brightens your day! And I encourage you to write down what you're thankful for, keep a grateful heart always! 

   
   

   Love y'all, Ryn

   
   

Thankful Thursday: Laughter

Im so thankful for laughter! Laughter truly is the best medicine! Laughter sets a tone. An inviting one to boot!

It's usually spurred on my something that was funny. But you always seem to laugh when something's funny.  Or when someone gets hurt. Them getting hurt isn't funny, but the way they fell, ran into a door, etc.. The execution, more like! 

One thing my parents taught us was to laugh! We were a house of laughter growing up. I'm so grateful for it. Just the other day, I laughed so hard I cried! I haven't done that in year! 

Don't you remember bazooka gum? They always had jokes on wrappers. We need to laugh. We are creatures of laughter! With everything going on in the world. We just gotta be able to distress ourselves with laughter!

But did you know joy is behind laughter? You can't laugh without joy. 

I have a friend name Joy Lee, and her parents never gave her a middle name, so my sister & Brother-in-law dubbed her middle name as full. Joy-ful-lee. 

I always smile when I hear it or intentionally remember it! 

If not for anything else, be joyful this week and have a laugh! -Ryn

DIY Friday: Attention

Hey loves! I hope all is well in your corners of the world, wherever that may be! : ) 

I have some disappointing news for ya, I will not be uploading a DIY today! : ( 

But I will try and get one up next week! : ) 

Because I'm helping my mama with an event she's planning, I have put everything pretty much on hold until next week so I can give her most of my attention! I will be back in the swing of things starting Wednesday! 

I do want to say, I have been watching fashion week online and so far Rachel Zoe & Nicole Miller are my two faves right now! Haven't watched them all yet, but when I do I'll let you know who really is/are my favorite(s)! And if you'd like to watch too, go to: www.newyorkfashionweek.com. It's quite enjoyable! : )

Also I have been thinking about starting a new miniseries of blogposts, which I would upload on Thursday. I would call it Thankful Thursday, just to get into the spirit of thanksgiving and all that jazz! I would say what I'm thankful for and explain why I'm so thankful for it! I would start the first Thursday of October... What do y'all think? Something I should do? Or not? I would love for y'all to join in and comment or email me with what you're thankful for too!
