Book: A Purpose driven life

Hello.. At the moment I'm into day 5 of a 40 day thingo. Specifically it's to lead me to a purpose filled life.

Back in July/ August 2012 I read in a Christian women's mag article that we need to define our goals and future priorities. Only I had forgotten that I'd written mine into a notebook until I needed to write my baptism testimony in the same notebook.

Re-reading my set goals for the near future, I realised that it's not something I should have stored away in a notebook- but be constantly reminded of.

So the 40 day book is Rick Warren's "A purpose driven life". The book is being used as a companion to a course I'm doing @1330 called Foundation. 

I did research the book as it's been around for a while, and looked up Internet reviews. One link I did find was not very positive- but it's in my mind as I read during the 40 days, to think why Rick Warren has chosen to link specific verses of the word into his specific chapters. I have also used youversion to compare the stated verses and come to somewhat of an understanding.

Below I share with you the song that's been consuming me, I need to listen to it more than once a day.
It's called Blessings, and although its not a brand new shiny song- Blessings is a song that my heart desires to embrace.
Enjoy..

Halloween: Zombies

Hello.. Welcome to another weeks Halloween mani. This week we're half way through the challenge, I'm finding it so difficult with my nail art skills. I have many drawers full of polish, so lets see what I have chosen to use today...



Base polish: Australis- limited edition 2 (green)

Details: ulta3- lily white, ulta3- crystallina, NYC- red slippers [ dupe for ulta3- English rose], essence- grand plié in black

I squished the eyes on one nail, at the top of the photo. Looks to me like red fried eggs instead of eyes?

Have you bought any new polish just to do the Halloween manis? And what costume are you going to be wearing later in the month?
