Tips To Have A Great Weekend

If you're anything like me, weekends come and go far too quickly, especially if you're like me and spend most of your Sunday at church / doing other things that aren't on your to-do list. As a result, I have learnt how to enjoy my weekend and make the most of it.

• Sleep in - you will feel so much better for it. It's always a drag when you know you have to get up early on your weekend. I often despise my plans that are early on a Saturday morning for 'stealing' my weekend 'rights'!
• Complete at least one thing off your to do list - this way you will feel accomplished when you get to Sunday night regardless of what you have done!
• Do something thats just for you - recharge your batteries and do something that you enjoy. Hubby and I often go geocaching, driving or eating. I love doing this, because its for no one else, just for our enjoyment! Self-centered? Perhaps, but if it helps make the rest of my week better, I'm keen!
• Do something you don't usually do - It will make you feel adventurous and alive! A rush of adrenaline, if only from doing something out of your usual schedule, will do you a world of good.
• Decide that your weekend will be good - going into it with the right attitude will mean you're up for anything!

Enjoy your weekend all! 

Dear Husband

Each week I thought I would bring you a letter... My first, to my husband who I share all of lifes mysteries with, the good and the bad, and somehow we still manage to stay in love.

Tattoos

Previously, I used to hate my body and everything about it. I used to hurt myself and try and damage what I thought was a curse. As I have grown in God I have come to the understanding that my body is beautiful and perfect and just the way that God made it. I would even go so far now as to say that I love my body!!

When it comes to marking your skin, because of my history with self mutilation and also experiencing God healing all of my wounds and scars infront of my eyes, I never understood why anyone would want to stain their skin on purpose. My experience with tattoos only includes those 50 year olds whose tats are now unreadable because the ink has leaked (is that what its from??) , or the young ones who get band album art on their arms (and to me the latter seems like idolatry), so as you can tell,  I have very limited experience and knowledge of Tattoos.

Then, one of the bloggers that I follow daily, Amber from I Love You To The Moon, blogged about all of her Tattoos and the meaning behind each. You can read her full post here.

This post really changed my perception on Tattoos > I can see now Its not longer just for bikers to get their woman's name on their bicep, or for a 16 year old to get their now favourite lyrics on their wrists. Its about (hopefully) so much more than that.

If you are considering marking your skin, I really hope you are also considering why you want to.

This is my favourite tattoo of Ambers, subtle, yet it means so much.

I hope you read her post, and take marking your skin for the rest of your life seriously. You are beautiful and perfect. Bands come and go, but God remains. 

Maybe I'm just being a super Nana when it comes to this topic. Thoughts?? I would love to hear your views... leave a comment!
