{Friday Favorites} 2.5.16

Happy Friday! It was a good week but I am more than ready for the weekend. There are some fun things in store this weekend! Tomorrow night I am going to the Rock and Worship Roadshow which will be here in Tulsa! Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Mandissa, Phil Whickham, Family Force 5, Audio Adrenaline, Danny Gokey, Citizen Way, and Shaun Groves are all going to be there. I. CANNOT. WAIT. The best part? It's only $10 at the door to get in! That being said, it will fill up quickly so I am planning on getting there early to stand in line. Thankful it's supposed to be a high of 55 degrees here in Tulsa tomorrow so the wait shouldn't be too bad! Then Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday. Not only is it a fun tradition of watching the game but it's one of my favorite weeks at Church called "30 Second Theology," where Pastor Craig Groeschel takes his sermon from commercials. You can watch online if you are intrigued!

Now, onto some favorites from the week:

ONE  >>> I am still going strong with my New Year resolution of working out 4 days a week. I successfully completed week #5 this morning! By the time I get home from work in the evenings, I either have something going on or just want to plop down on the couch and relax so I am trying to work out before work. It has been tough waking up in the mornings but I feel so good when I'm done!  I also get to see God show off with His gorgeous sunrises at that time of day.

TWO >>> On Wednesday, my baby brother, Tage, turned 20! Talk about making me feel old. Check out the blog post here.

THREE >>> I received my monthly update and picture of the little girl I sponsor at New Day South Foster Home! Have you thought about sponsoring a child? For just $35/month, you can make a difference in the life of a child. Email me with any questions you may have!

FOUR >>> I have been loving this Revelation Study I have been doing through BSF (Bible Study Fellowship). It is a long commitment, started mid September and will finish up early May, but I have learned so much! I encourage you to check BSF out if there is one in your area.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! 

{Adoption Awareness Month} SPONSOR

November is National Adoption Awareness Month and I am doing a series of how you can make a difference in the life of an orphan. Whether it's through praying, giving, going, supporting, or sponsoring, you CAN make a difference! I don't believe that everyone is called to adopt, but I do strongly believe we are all called to do something.

Today I am focusing on sponsoring a child. You can sponsor a child through many great organizations. A child's sponsorship usually costs around $35/month. That is right... only $35 a month to make a difference in a child's life. Of course this specific foster home is near and dear to my heart and you can sponsor a child here!

There are also some other great organizations:

Compassion International
World Vision
Orphan Outreach
New Day Foster Home
