Hello readers!!!! How are you? I figured it was time for an update for my loving friends and supporters. As of now, I’m still working mostly in the Chicago area and living here in an apartment with my roommate. I do this yearly for my agency here, Ford Models! I’ve gained a new client I’ve never worked for, which was Lord and Taylor , and I’m also continuing working for my typical clients. As much as I’m a country girl, I do love being in the city because everything is in walking distance, including some incredible vegan restaurants! Although I’m not vegan, knowing that nothing includes heavy dairy which makes me sick is a relief! I also love the ‘community’ feel that a city has. Don’t get me wrong- “wide-open spaces” and “blue grass” are still my preferences, and I am for sure sad about  missing the Kentucky Derby for the first time ever…. , but I was ready to do another short stay since it had been a while that school and life permitted me to move somewhere temporarily.

I’m also surviving finals week…ughhhhh! Almost done! I ‘m grateful the finals and projects aren’t too bad this semester. I’m also INCREDIBLY grateful for my blog designer/creator Gary Moyers for lending me his nice macbook laptop to use while I’m out of town. This is the second time my laptop has crashed during finals. I’m not sure what the chances are of that happening, but I can tell you that it isn’t fun!!!

In the mean time, enjoy new recipes that are popping up here and there. The only other person I’ve ever met who likes to cook as much as me is my current roommate, Ashley. And she is sooooo good at it! I’m very impressed at how much her cooking skills and range of recipes have expanded since we last lived together in Miami and Chicago last summer. Recently posted : Sweet Potato Oatmeal Pillows – may sound unfamiliar to you, but I GUARANTEE that it’s worth a shot! Find it under “sweet breakfasts and desserts”

Last but not least, I’m certainly continuing prayer for this country. With yesterday being the National Day of Prayer, the following verse is about all I can think about: “If my people will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

It just seems like it is one thing after another lately in the news, in one place of the country or another. And for some reason I’ve been so fully glued to the news lately compared to I’ve ever been before. I fully believe in the power of prayer, and sometimes just wish people would give it a shot. However, I also feel that we are quick to forget the importance of having faith behind the prayer it to back it up. Faith is very important to God. If we don’t have faith that He will answer our prayers, it is almost like a smack in the face in my opinion. Who are we to think he can or can’t do something? Would you help someone out if they told you you couldn’t do it? He can do all… and is our only chance of improving this world and protecting each of us.
