Blogger: love/hate relationship!

Have patience with all things, 

but first of all with yourself.

(Thanks to Marissa for this quote!)

I had a post to share with you all today,

I just finished it,

 complete…

save for inserting pictures.

And then

Blogger destroyed it

It disappeared right before my eyes.

Two hours of baring my soul,

disposed of carelessly in an instant.

Funny thing is that the post was about anger.

Between just anger and misguided anger.

And here I am angry,

and justified.

So now you'll just be getting a

fashion post

  

And I'll be going to regroup.

And praying I can eloquently re-write the post.

And share what I really wanted to.

So glad I had this picture handy to make me laugh at this whole debacle.
My husband is hilarious, no?

Failure is Not an Option

I'm angry today.

Angry might be an understatement.  

I want to just lay it all out.  

Everything that is piled up inside my head and heart.

But I just can't seem to start.

I need to pray.

A lot.

I need to breath out my frustrations,

and breathe in Jesus.

It's one of those days where I can't seem to stop the downward spiral.

Failure is not an option.

I have to break free from the battle in my mind.

I need to find solace.

{Psssst}

Get on over and check out this AMAZING giveaway Brooke is having.

You might just win a nice piece of real estate on Baxtron{Life} next month!

This morning I took a little window shopping trip to try on some things.  I tried on a gorgeous tangerine crochet top, which has in turn led me to search this trend.

So, what do you think?  Is a crochet top on your list of wardrobe additions for the Summer?
