I had decided to take a day to explore the great city I live in- Minneapolis, Minnesota! So, I ventured out on my bike to Downtown and started off at Starbucks coffee! I got my free drink today, so of course I get a Venti Hazelnut Macchiato!! It was so warm and tasty- along with that, I enjoyed a chocolate cookie! all of that for $2.19! That's a wonderful deal!!
Throughout the day I ventured from store to store downtown- I had found some wonderful deals at GAP where tops were $5! It had just been a wonderful shopping day for me! I had gotten some cute nail polish for a killer of a deal as well! One thing that was on my radar was some boots! Yup, got a great deal on those at Marshall's! Also, who would say no to chocolate for like $2?! I got me some tasty Godiva Chocolate too!
Well, as my relaxing day went on- I had stopped at target! I have been wanting to bake an Apple Pie during this fall season and WOW! We are already starting to get snow flurries here- so, I better hurry and make some warm, tasty Apple Pie before winter comes!! Ok, another thing about me is I have been wanting to watch "Annie" the movie for quite some time, (like probs 6 months to like a year...) well, I found the movie on DVD for $5! I had to do it along with "Horton Hears a Who" - because that is a wonderful movie about recognizing all the little things in life and that EVERYONE IS VALUABLE!! Another random story about me is my curling iron had broke about a month ago- it had just snapped apart while I was curling my hair--it was my grandmas, so I was due for a new one! :) Now I can enjoy curling my hair again!
I also wanted to stop at Barnes and Noble- I had been looking at the book by Billy Graham "The Reason for My Hope" and being that I have a membership I got 10% off along with the 20% off! I also got a coffee puzzle to work on! Looking forward to finishing it-while living here in my apartment!
While out on my downtown adventure, I have always wanted to stop at the cute little Crepe store on Nicollet! Finally did- got myself a classic crepe for $3 and enjoyed sitting the the cute little nook/hole in the wall! So cute- so delicious, and of course I had to get more coffee!!
Well, with all of the great deals I made downtown- I had to take on the challenge of taking it all back with me on my bike! What a wonderful experience! No falls, and the lights were like green the whole way back!! Thank-you Lord for a safe bike ride back home to my abode!
What a day of adventure already, and Wow, God had a smile on my face all day! I was so thankful for an enjoyed/relaxed day and all of the random interactions I had downtown! (I think people may have thought I was a bit weird as I smiled walking down the isles and said hello to people who passed by, and the fact that I may have talked/laughed to myself throughout the day!!)
As I mentioned before, I wanted to make my apple pie, so I did- crust and all, and thought who will I share this pie with or give it to?! Well, my brother called me and asked what I was doing for the night, well I was making dinner (A potato and Fresh Asparagus I got at the farmers market downtown today!) and making my Apple Pie! He thought that was fun and wanted me to come to his Halloween Party- so, I quick ate my supper, thought up a quick costume and brought my pie over to bake in his awesome 70's style oven! So legit! Well, my costume kinda ended up looking like a 70's outfit as well - so I called myself the 70's Mom who bakes in the kitchen! It was a wonderful night to see my brother and Heidi and all of their friends!
All Glory and Thanks to God for just one day that he has given me! Yup, I just shared a day of my life and of course there are many memories from other days I have had and there will be many more memories made in future days, whether on earth or in heaven with the Almighty God! Thank-you Lord for this day, for it is the day you have made! I have rejoiced and have been GLAD in it!
Lord, I pray for life circumstances right now, may your presence overwhelm all of us- you are here and we trust you- for you are the almighty God and you love and care about each and everyone of us! Thank-you! May we live with your JOY inside of us- for you are the one who helps and guides us through any situation- good or bad! We come into your presence with faith, we trust you and long to be like you, to shine your light! Lord, may your light shine and RADIATE through us!
"We can REJOICE too, when we run in to problems and trials, for we know they help us develop endurance" Romans 5:3
God is here with us, Be Glad and FULL of the Joy of the Lord each and everyday!!
This is a verse about living for Christ and turning from our sins- also a quote from Billy Graham!
As I always say-----"Just Living Life"
