Hi there! I am the self-appointed world's worst blogger. I took a little haitus without telling ya'll, so I apologize for the serious lack of posts. Here's a snippet of a few gems I've compiled over the holiday season.

I'll be the first to admit I need to get into the Word of God more. I need to get myself out of FACEbook and into THE Book of God! Heh! Here's the most wonderful Psalm of all.

Psalm 1 ♥

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I competed in a pageant last weekend! I didn't win, butttt.... I won MISS CONGENIALITY! It was everything I could have wanted and more. I viewed the contestants as the real judges. Having never competed in a Miss America based pageant before, it was an awesome experience. Lots of my friends came to watch and supported me... it was a wonderful night! Buttt, seeing as my parents took their camera on vacation with them to Kona the day after the event, the only pics I currently have are from before I put on my dress! Whoops!

♥♥♥ Green Smoothiez

I needed to get in bikini shape for the pageant, so I started drinking green smoothies every morning. The pageant has been done for a week, and I've still been having them daily! I don't even drink coffee anymore. Here's my (slightly intense) morning green smoothie...

  • 1/2 frozen banana &/or handful of berries
  • 1 cucumber
  • stalk of celery
  • handful of spinach
  • scoop of 100% pure pumpkin
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • splash of almond milk
  • optional: splash of liquid egg whites

Egg whites... in a smoothie?! Ew Paige.

Ha. In my defense, you can't even taste them, and it's a great source of protein. You must must must use egg whites from a container, though, and not fom the shell. Otherwise, ya might get sick. Most people pack their smoothies full of just fruit, but I like to use as many veggies as possible. It's a nice feeling to pack in your nutrition early!

I'm currently reading a book called Life is Not a Reality Show by Kyle Richards. Yes - she's a Real Housewife, but don't judge. This book is not what you'd expect. Instead of raunchy - it's packed full of wisdom for young, single women. Really, it is! Here's a wonderful quote about waiting for Mr. Right:

Do you want to be a party girl who lives on the edge and likes the drama of an unreliable man? Do you want to have the excitement of an extended adolescence with a bad boy? Or do you want to have a lasting relationship with someone you can count on and enjoy?

Wowowow! I often find myself attracted to guys who don't have their lives together because of the thrill of an extended adolenscence. But, where does that get me in a year? A bad place. Wait for the man who adds value to your life, who can read the Bible with you, and who is reliable and steady. That's why I'm still single! Here's another quote from her book:

OK gals - I am signing off! I'm planning to go ice skating today and then watching the GB Packers of course! God bless and be back soon!
