Thirtieth New Thing - Extreme Makeover

Well it's official - I signed up for an Extreme (Spiritual) Makeover. Tonight I will attend the first study with women who are Reflecting the Heart of Christ in Their Priorities. After all if Christ is in the right place in our lives - surely we will recognize it right? Well I hope so - that's why I need an extreme makeover:)
I can't wait to get to the "Heart" of the matter - put my life in order! I can't wait to meet some fabulous new women friends. I can't wait to experience and witness the presence of Christ in my life to expose others too! I can't wait.. I can't wait....... I can't wait......
Can you tell I'm just a little bit excited for Bible Study tonight?

Twenty-ninth New THing-Starbooks Cafe

This year to challenge and embrace reading with my students I opened the Starbooks Cafe! On special Read-In days, 2 -3 a month, I become a barista and offer hot tea, hot cocoa, and two different flavors of cappuccino, with extra marshmallows or whip cream as desired! My students pay .25 for their choice of drink. At the end of the year we will donate the money to a worthy cause selected by me according to the most persuasive piece of writing. I also teach writing!
I just love coffee - especially with a little whip cream and chocolate drizzle!

Twenty-eighth New Thing - Extreme Makeover

I'm ready for an Extreme Makeover - with the Word! Just joined a new women's bible study that I'm really excited about. The Spiritual Extreme Makeover Heart Edition "Reflecting the Heart of Christ in my Priorities" - whoa I need this makeover!
I hope to conquer a makeover for the rest of the areas that need it too. After all you have to challenge the inside before you can accept the outside. Suddenly everything looks brighter with the Lord on your side! He needs to be my first priority!
