2nd Vintage Purchase!

Back and here's what I bought. I went to a local antiques store and they were having a flea market outside. It was very cool, but I didn't really see anything and it was hot out so I went inside and checked out what i've been thinking about getting and checked in there previously 3 times to see if they still had it and they did. I took a lot of time thinking about the price and if I really wanted it. Well today it was 20% off, so I decided to get it. I love saving money. And I love vintage glass. Depression and milk glass are my favorites. I'm not entire sure what this is or what year it is, but I like and i've never seen anything like it, especially now a days. I can't wait to use it!

I think it's super pretty. I would like to know more about it. I think i'm going to do a little research on vintage glass. And think of what to use it for.
Night! -Jen

Just Lovely...

Hey! Hope you all are enjoying this lovely and hot (atleast here, 92, thank God for a/c at the home) Sunday. I'll be sharing more later tonight, but I wanted to share that I bought my second vintage purchase!!! My first was a 1970s (?.. or around there) suitcase. My second I bought today is a piece that i've been watching for quite awhile and thinking about... it was love at first sight. It's a glass bowl. I'll post a pic and more tonight, but now I have to get ready for a BBQ at the park!
Have a lovely Sunday evening!

Keep Quiet

Hi again. So i've been thinking lately about the things that are going on all around us. Recently in Grand Rapids, MI 7 were killed and the killer killed him self after it all. I don't know the whole story, I don't even know the background. I am praying for the families of the victims. It's so sad. It did get me thinking though, and not just about this case, everything, i'm thinking about their stories, their past, their present. If they knew about what I know and how it's radically changed my life, would their futures be different? Would their circumstances? Jesus has made a huge difference in my life. He's changed me for the best. If I didn't hear about Jesus, to be honest I probably would have depression, low self esteem, and be a self injurer. But thank God I was raised in a church and God was actived in every aspect of my life. Yeah there was low points. Growing up, mostly in late elementary school and middle school I remember not liking the way I looked at one point. I've had the thoughts that i'de rather die than deal with whatever was going on at the time. Once I truely got a hold of what God said through His word and and what it said about me, how I felt about myself became what God feels about me. And its amazing how He changed my life. Because of Him i'm beautiful, i'm brave, I have this amazing joy inside of me, I have love for others and things that I wouldn't if it didn't come from God. Who I am today is because of Him.
And knowing He did this for me, He can change others lives.

I feel like, for me (and other believers) we need to share our faith more. People need Jesus, they are ready to listen. All they need is someone to be bold enough to stand up and show them God, be like Jesus, love them. There's a song i've been listening to lately that I feel relates. It's called "Keep Quiet" by BarlowGirl.   
 

I can relate to this so much. I'm the quiet type, but I was really shy. I tend to hold things back, not share. And it's especially hard to talk to people I don't know, especially about my faith. But I need to more. I need to share what God has done and what He can do for them. There is so much hope in Jesus. More people need to know that. And i'm looking forward to sharing. I just feel like we need to share more. Speak up, don't keep quiet. You could be the difference in someone's life and future. God through you can change someones life. Don't be afraid, take courage. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.(Philippians 4:13). 

I'll probably be sharing more about this later. As for now, that's what's on my heart.
Thanks for reading. God Bless.

Good to Be Back!

I finally got the internet at the new place which means watching catching up on the latest Project Runway on Hulu, getting back into my amway business, and my photography, and keep up to date with the blog, along with searching for stuff on etsy and new crafts! So excited!
Well I will have a few craft diys coming up with in this month, one is the coasters I mentioned earlier and the other is candles! I bought a candle making kit at Hobby Lobby today and i'm super excited to try it. I've been wanting to get it for awhile because I plan on making candles as a I gift. I think i'm sensing a new addiction coming on! Well, gotta get some house work done, but i'll be back late tonight with a kinda different post than my usuall!
Later, -Jen

Happy Independence Day!

Hello everyone! I'm still working on getting the internet up and running, so i'm at the parents house using theirs! We're going to be going to see some fireworks tonight and a parade tonight. I like this Holiday because there's unity and fun. Everyone has cookouts, get togethers, games, and just enjoy being in this great country. Freedom isn't free, so thanks to the men and women who served and are serving in the armed forces for us. It's because of them we can celebrate!

Also, as you may know i'm a photographer and I entered a photo contest! It's through the local news here, but I you would like to help me, all you have to do is get on facebook, 'like' FOX 47 News, then 'Like' my picture which is in the album "Snap into Summer Week 4" i'm number 96 of 200 in the first album. I'll post the links below, but it would be a great help. Also if you want too I have a photography page on facebook too. I'll link it on the sidebar. Feel free to check out my photography!

Have a great 4th of July! And if you're not from the U.S. have a great day and enjoy your day of Independence as a country! I know Cananda's was July 1st, but i'm not sure of others, so have fun celebrating where you live, who you are, and be thankful for both everyday!

Women Who Rock: Blanca. [Intro]

Taking a break from moving to give some advice on moving. It helps to be as organized as possible, plan it out and as you go, take breaks, and listening to music helps!

I'm getting internet at my new residence soon, so I will do a full update then, but now I just wanted to give you a little intro into a new feature called:

I'm still working on the pic. But this feature will be about women who I find to be strong, positive role models and are a great example. I'll feature musicians, actresses, professionals, and more, but I also would like to feature my reader too. So if you would like your story to be featured here, send me an email with your story on why you rock to sobrilliantlife@hotmail.com

My first will be brief, so I would like to do a full post on her, but my first is Blanca from Group 1 Crew.
She is a singer with the group and has an incredible story.

And here is her story:



I'll be back with more on why she inspires me and more!
