Dedicate, Commit, be Patient! Three powerful words that I wanna live by. Often times we are either committed to doing something, but not patient. Just as well as we may be dedicated to doing something, but not fully committed.
I find myself constantly putting things off that I aspire to do ... Not because I don't want to do them, but because I prefer to give 50% or 75% instead if the whole 100%. Am I the only one that gets stuck in the cycle of doing "Just enough to get by"? This is a bad habit that I must break.
Now realizing that success doesn't come over night and in order to be successful in anything you have to be willing to commit, dedicate, and be patient. If it was easy to do, everyone would be doing it. Don't give up ... Keep striving for the best.

Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer
Wisdom Is Calling Out to You
Along the way on our journey through life, we will have to make many decisions, and we will always get into trouble if we make them emotionally or according to what we think or want.
God wants us to make wise decisions. I believe having wisdom is choosing to do now what we will be happy with later.
Proverbs says that wisdom is calling out to us. You must walk in God's wisdom and realize that the choices you make today will affect your tomorrow. So many people never enjoy life because they're always dealing with messes resulting from a lack of wisdom.
Don't do something selfish, gambling that things will turn out right. Wisdom does not gamble, it invests in the future. Wisdom doesn't settle for a cheap thrill. Instead, it follows God into a better tomorrow.
So what about you? Are you walking in wisdom today? If you're not, the good news is that wisdom is already calling out to you. God's ready and willing to provide you with His wisdom. Just ask Him for it and make the decisions that will invest in a godly future.
Prayer Starter: God, I want to enjoy life, not constantly clean up problems that result from a lack of wisdom. Thank You for providing Your wisdom for me. I choose to receive it and make godly decisions for my future.

Make Me Over ...
So, being that I've been late and absent from posting I decided to share some photos of work I did on my sister. If you follow me on Instagram (Carlanaomii) I'm sure you've seen them, but oh well, here they are ;)
I am not a professional; however I think I'm nice at what I do. Products used were MAC concealer NC35, MAC Bronzing Powder, Rimmel Brow Pencil, and a nude MAC lipstick, sorry I don't recall of the name. No foundation required. I personally dislike the heavy foundation, and think it should only be used for skin that has blemishes. Well anyway, Enjoy! :)

Thought of The Day
I am such a "quoteaholic" and starting today I will post a quote/thought each day. Here's one I found from a blogger on Google+ and I decided to share it with you guys ;). Have a great and productive day. Don't let the devil steal your joy.
Ugh, missed a sweet deal!
So last night while working a received an email around 11:30 from elf, which stated $275.00 value for $20.00 ... Now of course elf products are very reasonable , but I felt that this was a great offer. The sad thing is it was only for 3 hours :( and I've missed the deal. Hopefully it comes back around again.
Be Decisive! Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer
Be Decisive!
Indecision is a miserable state to be in and certainly is not a fruit of the simple life. The apostle James said the double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Never making a decision because you're afraid you'll make the wrong one will get you nowhere. How much time do you think we waste when we can't make up our minds?
We often labor over the choices before us when we just need to make a decision and let it stand. This may be a simple example, but think about it: When you stand in front of your closet in the morning looking at all your clothes, just choose something and put it on. Don't go back and forth until you make yourself late for work!
Let me encourage you to start making decisions without second-guessing yourself or worrying about the choices you make. Don't be double-minded or wishy-washy because doubting your decisions after you make them will steal the enjoyment from everything you do. Make the best decisions you can and trust God with the results.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, thank You for showing me that indecision doesn't really get me anywhere. Help me to let my "yes" be "yes," and my "no" be "no." I know I can't go wrong when I make decisions the best I can and simply trust You with the results.

Happy Hump Day
This is the day that The Lord has made ... Let us rejoice and be glad in it. For some reason Wednesday is starting to be my favorite day. Maybe it's because I get to sleep in a little later, run a few errands and just relax. Yes, it's my off day :) I think we all need a day off in the week to rest. Hope you guys are having a great day so far.
