Eye See You

This morning I had my yearly eye exam. While I was at my appointment they asked if they could dilate my eyes and I said if you need to go ahead. Well I have never had this done before so I was in for an interesting time. I had no idea what to expect so I was a little freaked out when everything started to blur! Trying to pick out new frames and fill out paperwork was quite entertaining. When I left my eye appointment they had me wear these beauties!

When my parents saw me wearing these they had a pretty good laugh. Glad I could be some entertainment for some people. :) Hopefully I won't have to have my eyes dilated for a while. It was a very entertaining experience. Trying to read text messages and send emails with dilated eyes is interesting. Hopefully all of my messages made sense and their weren't to many spelling errors.

A Weekend full of Worship

This weekend was full of fun and exciting things. Friday was a pretty typical day for me. I had to work that day and then that night after work I had a youth leader meeting and we planned some more exciting things for out youth group! (I can't wait to share) 

On Saturday me and the other youth leaders had the wonderful opportunity to take our youth kids to an event called Shake the City. Shake the City is an event that's held every last Saturday of the month. This month was the second time we took our youth. The event was held in Uptown Charlotte, NC. We got to praise and worship our Lord and Savior with a bunch of other youth groups and spread the Word of God to people walking by. It was an amazing experience and I love watching our youth kids get involved and praise God! I'm so grateful that I got to experience this event with our youth group and can't wait to go again next month!
Here are some pictures from Saturday night...

On Sunday I had the privilege of teaching the youth group girls a great lesson on being grateful and content with what God has blessed you with. It was awesome to hear the girls share some personal things that they were grateful for and to hear their heart for Christ! Then on Sunday night I had a few friends come over for dinner and a movie. It was a great time of fellowship and fun. We watched the Disney/Pixar movie Up. I had never seen it before and I really enjoyed it.

I had a really great weekend and I'm so thankful for the amazing friends, family, and opportunities that the Lord has given me!

High 5 for Friday

This week has been a crazy busy week for me, but I've enjoyed every minute of it! First off on Monday night I had Youth Leader meeting at church and it as great. We have some awesome things in the works for our Youth Group. I'm so excited, I can't wait to share all the events. Then on Tuesday night my women's Bible study at church finished our study of the book of James.

The James Bible study was so good and I learned a lot and grew so much in my relationship with Christ from this study. 

Wednesday nights are my girls nights with my best friends Jessica. We go line dancing at Coyote Joe's here in Charlotte, NC. (In the picture i'm the one in the green plaid shirt and Jessica is right behind me). 

On Thursday night a some friends and I went bowling to celebrate our friend Kimberly's 24th birthday. We had so much fun. We got a little competitive but it was a blast. 

 And tonight I'm super excited to watch Napoleon Dynamite with some friends. I've never seen this movie all the way through to the end so I can't wait to watch it. 

I'm linking up with Lauren for H54F today!

Weekend Fun

I had an amazing weekend with my family and friends. On Saturday I spent the day with my wonderful Mom. We started our day off with some great breakfast and got caught up on some of our favorite shows (Graceland, Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, etc). Then we spent the afternoon shopping and enjoying each others company. I got this super cute new ring this weekend...

On Sunday I went to church and enjoyed some great fellowship with my church family. I loved the message that our pastor gave and it was exactly what I needed to hear. I love to see how God is working in my life. Overall I had a great, relaxing, fun weekend. What did y'all do this weekend?

God Bless

Praise Him all day everyday

I was reading in Psalms yesterday and this verse stood out to me...

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets; 

the name of the Lord is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3

This verse was a great reminder for me that the Lord is to be praised ALL day everyday. Not just when something great happens or when one of our prayers is answered. We need to praise Him even if we are struggling or going through rough times. By no means am I saying that I do this everyday. But let this verse be a great reminder to praise the Lord everyday for giving you life! Hope y'all had a blessed weekend.

Daughter of THE King

Hello there, I'm Megan, and I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. There are many loves and passions in my life...

 My first love and passion is Jesus! I recently rededicated my life to Christ while I was on a women's retreat with my church, (story for a future blog post), and got re-baptized soon after to show publicly that I'm committed to serving God and living for Him. 

My second love and passion is my family and friends. My am very close to my family and I think it is very important to spend as much time with them as I can. My family and friends love God, love and support me, and hold me accountable. I have 2 older sisters that I could not live without! They are full of wonderful advice. (I'm sure you'll be hearing more about my sisters in the future.) God has truly blessed me with an awesome family and awesome friends. Here's a picture of me and my awesome parents.

My third love and passion is children and youth. I am a child development teacher for infant and toddlers. I love my job. I'm also a youth leader for the high school kids at my church and I'm loving getting to know their hearts and see how their relationships with Christ grow.

My fourth love and passion is sports. I'm a HUGE sports fan. I love watching hockey, football, and basketball. (and the Olympics when they're on) I'm a big Detroit Red Wings fan, big Indianapolis Colts fan, and a big Duke Basketball fan. I know what you must be thinking, none of those teams are in the same state!? I'll explain later how I became a fan of each of those teams.

My fifth love and passion is photography. I love taking pictures of God's beautiful creation and pictures of my family. Here are a couple of my favorite photos that I took...

I hope you enjoyed getting to know a little about me. I'm sure you'll get to know me more as I post on this blog. Hope y'all have a Blessed day.
