it aint me, babe..
And so we meet again! Today @curtiscurry and I went to lots of places, bought some things and learned. We visited an art gallery and a history musuem. I enjoyed myself every step of the way. I have very much relished in this holiday. I have practiced using my imagination instead of supressing it...I highly recommend it.
My favorite things about Winter:
1. little rosy cheeks and noses.
2. mitten clad hands.
3. long sleeves.
4. boots of all shapes, sizes & colors.
5. wearing socks to bed.
6. my curls stay put.
7. huggin friends in fluffy jackets. feels like running into a marshmellow.
8. warmth from a fire.
9. the season of giving.
10. naked trees twisting like dancing ballerinas.
This is a picture of a bill of sale for a slave from the 1800s. This person was sold for $600. It's crazy to think that selling human beings was considered normal at one time. We've come so far, but we still have so far to go.
Let's all commit to love more in 2011 than we did in 2010. I think it would work if we tried!
Starting now,
BC

it's personal
The grace of God will not let up on me.
The love of God will not give up on me.
His banner is waving widly.
This is my soul, it is well, it is free.

"Hey girl, the water don't care, the shore don't know who were you before.."
What a wonderful Christmas I had!
I have noticed that blogs are SO much better with photos and mine is no exception.
So here are some new things for you. In honor of New Years! 2011 here we come!

Silly me! I forgot my Twitter name: @bethawho.

then again...
Maybe I won't stop telling! I have so much to tell and so much I get to experience that being super private is almost overrated........that dawned on me...oh, yesterday.
I cut my dogs nails for the first time tonight! Scariest event ever. I felt like I was going to make her bleed internally or something. I also tried to brush her teeth, but that didn't go so well.
I'm madly in love with dogs. Aren't you?!
I finished all of my Christmas shopping and made special stocking bags this year. So cute, so perfect, if I do say so myself.
Watched the Lunar Eclipse last night, although it felt creepy outside, my husband and I had a special talk under the jet black sky that made standing in the cold completely worth it.
I also listened to a special memory last night that I had recorded on my iphone, which made me emotional, but it was a nice moment with the Lord. Reminiscing with God is so moving.
To recap the week I have been stretched, watered, humbled, moved and encouraged....I am standing planted on the promises of God and my soul is so comfortably reclined at His feet. I like how it feels to be my soul. I like how it feels to be surrounded with the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God is knowing who He is, who He says He is and silencing everything else that comes against it.
On another note entirely, I'm very much looking forward to Christmas, but it kind of makes me sad because there's this big rush for it to get here and then it's over. Similiar to your wedding day....after December waves goodbye and the New Year says, "hello!" you're left with a weird "now what?" feeling.
This year I feel very differently, tho.....not about Christmas, but about 2011! I'm so..stoked for it...stoked is so the appropriate word for how I feel, even though it's not the most graceful term. "I'm riding a wave and I'm STOKED!" Haha!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this fire side moment brought to you by Christmas time!
To all a good night and make it a warm one!
Love,
Lil' ol' cozy me- BC

..on an open fire...
Dear you,
I bought another tree. It's really pretty..but then again....I'm biased.
Lately: Inside my mind there is a large quantity of thoughts that somewhat resemble mashed potatos and a crazy colored casserole you only see at church functions. BUT along side that lovely image is a portion of peace and confidence that God is God alone and He brings peace. I feel like that's an important message that the world needs to hear. Or maybe just my own ears/heart/soul/mind. The more I call the more He comes to bear me in His arms. He's like that.
Working in ministry has the potential to be a full time guilt fest. I'll leave it at that because I totally don't want to make a blog about my feeeelings, so please do not think that's what I'm doing. I'm simple talking....and trying to write the "rhema", I guess, that the Lord has been trying to get through to me. Which is that it (whatever "it" is) doesn't depend on my desire or effort but on God's grace.
I forget that when the rain comes and it starts pouring on my life.
My name is not Noah. This is not a flood. I do have a promise.
Love,
BC
P.S.
It's much more than a rainbow.

moon river & me...
I have already started my New Years Resolution List for 2011. So exciting.
91. Took my husband to a place from my past.
92. Shared a Louisiana traditional food with my new family.
93. Decked out my house with candy canes and more lights than Santa's sleigh.
94. Woke up at 5am to go Black Friday shopping at Best Buy. Epic failure. Target turned out to be a hit, tho. Hot buys.
95. Packed and wrapped Christmas presents for babies around the world.
96. Attempted to play the trumpet.
97. Played Xbox Kinnect. Embarassing and wonderful all at the same time.
98. Decorated 5 trees in one night. Loved every minute.
99. Went to an Oberlin football game and drank hot chocolate. This is a big deal. I do not like hot chocolate.
100. Penciled in some me time on my holiday and watched NetFlix movies on my iPad. 3 to be exact.
101. Decorated my first full family Thanksgiving gathering.
Pictures to come next time!
My baby dogs turn 6 weeks old tomorrow.

she sells sea shells
I have decided it's time for a random photo blog.
I haven't made anything cool or done anything profound in a little while...besides Christmas shopping.......and every day life.
Here are some rejected 7 Days of Something New list items.
Here are some rejected 7 Days of Something New list items.
A. Froze my fingers off at a Highschool football game.
B. Saw Super Hero children.
C. Watched a midnight movie.
D. DVD bargain shopping.
E. Cooked lasagna. From a box.
F. Browsed the Barbie aisle.
G. Bought Christmas Popcorn.
Those are too lame...well the Christmas popcorn isn't, but everything else is pretty "every day-ish".
I do understand it has been two weeks since I have blogged and so, yes, I am behind on the REAL list, BUT! I'm working on it.
And now to distract you.....
Thanks to the faithful.

sweetly sailing on
I haven't posted in WAY too long. I've been caught up in projects and lots of other pretty little things.
I've been doing some new things here and there, but I gotta admit I'm running out of ideas that don't take so much time! If you have any suggestions send them my way! Also, don't forget to check out the sister sight on TUMBLR where I have posted more recently, I'm still trying to decide which site I like better. What do you all think?
Here are some new things to add to the list:
74. Participated in a college parade! Unfortunately our float did not place, Oh well. I thought it was pretty good!
75. Painted my new office & moved in!
76. Made a PowerPoint slideshow. So easy and even more fun! I'm a geek.
77. Made some fun videos!
78. Attempted to video blog, this will have to be ressurected sometime soon as I was un successful.
79. Stayed home ALL day! This has not happend in a very long time!
80. Watched my 2nd sister try on wedding dresses!
81. Organized my husbands closet. Whew.
Life is fun.
Love, BC

the beautiful exodus {56}
Curt and I went to an antique mall looking for finds. I bought an old photo from the 1920s of a woman and her 4 daughters...she's quietly smiling while leaning into/kissing her child's perfectly styled head, shy for the camera. So totally not what women are today. She's practically hiding behind what she knows within her makes her lovely. I thought it was beautiful. And 3 vintage watches, that don't really work, but I thought of giving one to each of my sisters attatched with a note that reads "with you is the best kind of time". Or maybe I'll keep them for myself, since they don't tick. Who wants a watch that doesn't tell time? I do.
Tomorrow I'm thinking about waking up to sit in silence and watch the sun rise. Waiting to hear the whispers of God. In other news, on a lighter note, or the other hand, I'm loving my ridiculously long Repunzel hair. It is on purpose. Like most things I do.
I pledged to myself, when I woke up this morning, that I will always back out of things that make me dishonest. I think that's okay to do. I try to make even my hair honest. Ha-ha! It's long, it's weird, I sometimes don't brush it.
I also examined my face in the mirror today to see what I really looked like when I'm sharing a joke with friends. I discovered that I look like a North Pole elf mated with a squirrel and my face was their favorite child. Sorry Mom and Dad. I don't mind so much, I guess. Part of the magnificent peace I mentioned earlier is accepting even your face. And not needing others to say anything about it.
dolce love,
BC

a brave heart 51-55
As you have noticed by now, I put new things partially on hold for a minute while I finished a prior commitment...or two..or three. A part of me missed blogging and then another part of me, the one that doesn't like to be pinned in to any mold, loved the freedom of breaking a routine. Something about being expected to do anything makes me nervous and dissatisfied at it being insincere when it's completed.
I did do a ton of new things during my break, but I have forgotten most of them, so I will count the couple I can remember and will start back up today from whatever number I amount to. Even though this blog is all about not measuring up to any number or value of another, you know what I mean.
The reason for my dissappearance from blogland is due to me being hired for 3 jobs that were all subject to be completed in the same week. One was interior decorating, the second was a surprise birthday party and the third was a baby shower. So the following are just a couple of new things that I accomplished!
#51. I made a home made paper banner for the party I was hired to plan. People actually sell these on Etsy.com so I'm seriously considering trying to make some in my spare time. I liked the unpredictable way of using patterns to make something simple lovely. I actually made a couple of these between the two events.
#52. Then this party came and went. Without a hitch, thank you very much. The theme was elegant, vintage, garden party.
#53. Tons of hand made tissue paper pom-poms for Ivelisse's baby shower!
#54. Baby shower success! Pushing myself to do things I never thought I would get the opportunity to even do. These events where very fun, but very exhausting as well!
I made lots of other things, but I think it would be cheating to list them all as new experiences because I would be well into the 60's! And that's just boring.
#55. Today I read all day long and even went to a new coffee shop to read in public. I am not ashamed. I am in fact madly in love with reading on my iPad. The end. I went to read at a new place downtown called The Leisure Club. I thought about the whole time what I would say if I had to write a review for a magazine, as if I were some freelance writer for a local periodical that featured new places in the city. Phrases like "people who want to feel cool without having to conform to the Starbucks unoriginality will feel welcome and at home in this clean, current, but retro enviroment" and even though I never drank a cup of any coffee (I hate the stuff.) I heard words like "undertones" when any brew was described, which impressed me.
I know blog posts are supposed to be short and sweet to keep readers interested, but I have been gone for what seems like forever so I feel as if I have lot to say. I am finding a magnificent peace. Maybe it's because I'm finding time to slow down or maybe I'm finally getting it. Whatever the reason I am catching happy like a contagious cold and today was the best day that I've had in weeks. I will tell you about what I've been thinking more next time we meet since I'm sure you are ready to go from here..on to Facebook or wherever else you spend your time.
Love,
BC
p.s. Loyalty, honesty and faithfulness is what should be coveted and copied, not hair styles, fashion and mannerisms. Be yourself. It's better.
p.s.s. I hope you missed me. It's adorable to be missed.

45 to 50!
SO! I will not bore you with the blah blah blahs of my life, but I will say that between a pregnant dog, youth ministry, wifery, charity work, event planning, worship, and 12 other things I have neglected this little blog. I have to say, I still don't feel guilty because I am enjoying my life without letting everyone know about it! (=
Wednesday 25th-I enjoyed my cinnamon roll yogurt and had the busiest day ever. One of my girls had a horrible accident and 911 was called. My first experience with perimedics, very scary. Not sure how that is an act of worship, BUT I prayed like crazy in those 30 minutes.
Thursday 26th-Kept a secret. Bought a coffee table...with someone elses money.
Friday 27th-My first professional football game! Reggie Bush, Drew Brees, screaming fans, a lesbian couple and a large man who smelled like beer that sat next to me. An experience to remember!
Saturday 28th-Walked in the rain through New Orleans and purchased a vintage sweater. Someone stole my umbrella and I willed myself to not hold a grudge. How rude!
Sunday 29th-Happy 2 years of wedded bliss! 5 years from a hurricane that changed everything. I'm so glad that God uses evil plans of my enemy for good. Take that, aha.
Monday 30th-Helped my husband set up his NFL fantasy football draft pick thing. This was actually fun, although I do find a fantasy football league a complete waste of time. Oh and I set up a Craigslist account! Epic.
Now a couple more pictures.
Love,
BC
p.s. {people are funny!}

losing count
Sunday I went to a friends house for the first time, went bankrupt in Monopoly and shared a story about an important day in my life!
Monday I let my husband pick out my outfit. Yikes.
Tuesday I ate dinner with a latino familia and took 2 boys out for ice cream.
Today is yet to be done and to be determined! Although I did have cinnamon roll yogurt for the first time...different.
I will promise a photo though, since this blog has been looking drab! My schedule will not ease up until after September (I hope) so these bulk posts will probably keep appearing until then!
If you're happy and you know it...leave a comment!

in the red
Dear Bloggies,
Since I'm being honest-I did not do anything new yesteryday, in fact I was extremely busy and today I was even busier than the day before. SO, I will do my best to attempt to do 3 new things tomorrow or I will hit the pause button on this whole thing for a week so that I can finish a couple of jobs I have been working on! I don't feel quilty at all...where is the worship in guilt? Every one for a guilt free life raise your hand....I see you..and you..and you.
Don't complain because you haven't commented in a while anyway.
Love,
BC
p.s. Who said, "to thine own self be true"?
p.s.s. Happy trails to you, until we meet again!

August 17th-Listening to music late into the night, talking with my love about life and all that matters.
August 18th-Memorized a new Bible verse.
August 19th-Downloaded some Haiwaiian music, went for a drive. Try it.
p.s.
My favorite question posed to you.: Where are you REALLY?

thirty seven thirty eight
A whole lot on my mind these days and on my plate.
I'm enjoying being....and feeling every moment of life as it comes. Even though I feel I have no time for myself. It's okay, it's more than fine. Being anxious for nothing happens when you have every opportunity to be anxious.
I asked someone today "What do you hope people say about you when you aren't around?", and I thought of my own answer.
I don't want people to say, "She knew who she was." or
"She was a jill of all trades." or even other common compliments that everyone seems to receive these days.
I think I only want people to say that I was real. John Mark Mcmillan tweeted once about how every day he tries to be real, but makes himself sick at how fake he ends up feeling.
I can relate and I love the honesty.
At 23 I am finding out about myself and what God sees in me. It's strange. The things that I can do, do not impress God. Ministry is people. People matter, not accomplishments or even what people say about you.
Love,
BC
p.s. Currently, blogger is not letting me upload pictures, so I will try tomorrow.
Yesterday, August 15th- waiting, reading, conversating
Today, August 16th- breakfast, meeting Nollie, catching up, saying goodbye, again.
