5 on Friday!


Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

Cheers to the lovely lady creators of this 5 on Friday link-up (hiii Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!)!!



...Before I begin...first things first. Did y'all watch Billy Graham's video last night?
I love how he talked about the cross as being offensive. 
I've never thought of it like that before!
You can find the link to watch it here
Don't even read any further if it means you'll watch the video!!! :)
(Seriously!!)



FAMILY TIME
I got to be with my family ALL last weekend. My sis lives in NYC, my brother lives in Charlotte at home (since he's in high school...:)), and I live in Wilmington. Us 3 Davis kiddos hadn't been all together since July! Needless to say, it was a fun, long overdue weekend reunion!

 
Eric, Hope, me
P.S. WHENNNN did my little brother...who is ELEVEN years younger...GET TALLER THAN ME?!?! And LOOK SO MUCH OLDER?! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! weird.


CMAS
I love music. And I super love country music. Love Brad. Love Carrie. Love me some country music!! Take me back to Nashville! We went in June, and I want to go back already!!!

Owning it: I was watching the opening act while Mark was still at work.
 ...And I was definitely cackling. Loudly. At multiple parts. All by myself.

YES.
I pinned this shirt the other day, and I couldn't love it more. I love a good glass of vino. I love talking for hours with people I know and love. But I don't really like going out that much. Homebody, right here. That's me. So wine + couch = yep, my kind of night. I'd rather do that than go out any day of the week!

GUESTS!!!
Eeeee! We have some weekend visitors arriving Saturday! Which I LOVE LOVE LOVE so much. Because I love the ladies who are coming. And I love our guest room. And I love people I love being in our guest room!!! Thank you, beach, for being such an enticing place for people to come visit!!! ;)



MORNING QUIET TIME
I am still trying to create a priority habit in the morning. I want my day to feel like it absolutely cannot start without having some one-on-one time with Jesus. I've felt suuuper strongly convicted creating this "priority habit" since this post. I'm working on it, folks. Not there yet...but striving...seeking...with purpose...for His glory!!

Lord, change and renew my heart to see, seek, serve, hear, and need You more!!! 
Each and every morning!!!
AMEN! :)

----------------------------------------------

Happiest weekend to YOU! Enjoy it!!! :)

Keep in touch, dolls!!

  5. I love "In the Morning When I Rise, Give Me Jesus". Morning is my favorite time to do bible study. Without it, the day doesn't seem right. I need to make a mini of that sign to put next to my alarm clock for those grumpy mornings.

Love you doll have a beautiful weekend!

  35. Carrie & Brad were hilarious hosts! Was laughing about that Obamacare number. Enjoying your blog :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Woah, woah, woah...you live in Wilmington NC?? Can I tell you how badly I've been wanting to move to NC??? I'm not even kidding.
    I totally missed the CMA's because of my niece (totally a good excuse for missing it!), but I am so glad that they keep having Carrie and Brad hosting the show. They're just so great. And when I move to NC, we'll have wine nights on our couches all the time!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I so want to go to Nashville! And the show makes me want to that much more. Your siblings are so cute! And I NEED the wine shirt please and thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The CMA's were wonderful this year weren't they? You're in Wilmington, one of my favorite places is about 40 minutes south of there. Ocean Isle. :) Thanks for finding me in blog land! I've recently made it my priority to start my morning off with Jesus! How can you're day go wrong when you start it with Him? Love that t-shirt too. Nothing better than quality girl time on the couch and a good glass of vino!

    ReplyDelete
  39. That Billy Graham video is on my to-watch list this weekend! Um your guest bedroom is gorgeous!!! And I love everything about #5, I really need to work on that myself. And that print OMG I need that right now for my home, office, everywhere lol. Have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Such cute siblings and the CMA's were amazing!! I missed the beginning and now I'm dying to see what transpired between Brad and Carrie in that photo you posted!!

    And WOW!! We might be twins. I literally was just telling my friend how excited I am that my husband is going out to a bar to watch a bball game with his friends tonight because that means when Charlie goes to sleep.... ME + Glass of wine + catching up on TV + fire going = heaven!!

    Happy weekend!!

  47. Whoa, your guest room is amazing! It's a good thing you like guests because I can see people never wanting to leave! I am excited for Thanksgiving, it will be the first time my whole family gets together in ages...actually they've been getting together all the time, but for the first time I live far away and can't hang out with them all the time! I am SO looking forward to the holidays and seeing everyone :)..and that shirt is so perfect for so many people I know (self included!).

  48. I love so so many things about this post!

    Family time is so much fun! My sisters and I all live in the same state, but with school and all we definitely don't see each other face to face as much as I would like.

    Oooh #5...I have definitely been challenged in this lately. It is so important to make quality time with God, but I always have trouble making the right time for it in my day.

    Have an amazing weekend!
    Nicole, keepcalmandcocoon.blogspot.com

    PS- ADORABLE guest room! What a sweet and relaxing space!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I could speak to every single one of these. We are so much alike. :) I just know we'd have the best time sipping wine and chatting on the couch together! I hope you have a great weekend with your guests!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I am with you on #5! I don't know why I struggle so hard with this but I do. I either get distracted by kids/internet or forget and then don't read at all! so I try to always have my devotion and prayer right away first thing. It helps motivate me to remember all the people I have promised to pray for!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Family time is the best!!!

    I love that shirt...so cute! The CMAs!!!! love Carrie & Brad together

    yay for visitors!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Oh, girl I'm glad we found each other on here! We do have quite a bit in common it seems :) So jealous you get to have guests in town. I LOVE hosting in our little house! I have been striving the last few weeks to get deeper into my quiet time, but Satan is putting up a good fight with me. Good thing he isn't going to win! Have a beautiful weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'll have to watch the Billy Graham message this weekend.Must say, I love your guest room! Looks so welcoming and cozy. Hope you and your guests have fun! x

    ReplyDelete
  54. How fun to be with your siblings for a weekend. I cherish that family time as well! Love your guest room, looks very comfy and inviting. Have fun with your guests!! I am in striving for the same thing.. quiet time=priority number ONE!!! Amen sister!!! Glad you found my blog so I could find yours! XO

    1. sorry, PS-the She Reads Truth studies have been amazing in my life AND you can use the the you version bible app straight from your phone to follow their current plans or past plans. Sometimes when I've been up late with my little one or am feeling exhausted I can just click right on my app for a quick start to quiet time straight from my bed. Not ideal, but it helps! Just thought I'd share!! :)

  55. Love your heart, friend!! Praying that you get that morning quiet time routine down! :) Also LOVEEEEEE country music. My eyes were glued to the CMA awards on Wednesday. If my voice could sound like Carrie Underwood's...all would be good in the world!! Have the greatest weekend!
