Sermon Notes.

Hello again!
So, I take sermon notes during church, because I'm not in school right now, and I just love taking notes. You can't tell how serious I am, because it is hard to communicate that via writing, but I'm very serious. Anyway, they just sit in my notebook, only for my eyes to see, and I thought that I should share them with you!

2/8/15 - The Tenth Commandment (fun fact, I was only at the first one and the last one. I missed all the other eight. Jesus is going to ask, well what about the other eight?! And I will Kanye shrug and reply, I killed the first and tenth one though)
- Exodus 20:17
Coveting is an inner want that says, I have to have it, or I'm not complete
- Col. 3:5
Coveting = idolatry
- We begin how we end (meaning the first commandment Exodus 20:3) no other gods
- You shall love the Lord your God enough to be totally content in all circumstances
- Root of all sin, is coveting
- Christianity does not worship pleasure, nor abstain from it, rather it enjoys it
- When you covet after something, when you finally get it, you don't want it. It makes you angry, worried, anxious, after awhile you begin to hate it
- Phil. 4:10-13
This is not an offer, it is a command, meaning it's available to anyone who knows Jesus

That is all folks. See you next week!

1st stop.

Hello!
I finally got a chance to visit my first coffee shop today! Narrowing down the first one to go to was fairly easy, it was the Gold Coast Starbucks naturally. Due to my gold member status (which I in no way, shape, or form need to have) I had a free drink waiting for me, so I made my way all the way down to Rush street.
I walk in, and awkwardly stand there for a bit, because I'm not sure if the people standing around are in line, or waiting for their drinks. So after a couple of minutes of that confusion, I make my way to a register and tell the barista my whole life story about how I have a free drink and I want to try something new. She quickly sees the panic in my eyes, because I have no idea what new item I want to try, and suggests a flat white with vanilla syrup. Literally at that point, she could have suggested coal to me, and I would have been with it. Have you ever looked at the menu at Starbucks? I felt like there were a million drinks on there. Honestly though, I think their menu is more extensive, because they do serve alcohol there and small plates of delicious food, like cheese.
So, I get my flat white with vanilla, and it is delicious! I go upstairs, (yes, upstairs! This Starbucks has two floors, it's super fancy) into this beautiful open space, with natural sunlight pouring in from the glass windows in the front, and to my dismay, all the tables are taken. Silly me, thinking I could get a table at a two floor Starbucks at one in the afternoon. My poor little journal and book I brought to read did not get any use today. But I really did enjoy the layout of this Starbucks and would come back at a better time and sit for hours.

And I also wasn't able to take the super artsy, hipster picture I was planning, so enjoy this awkward bathroom selfie instead! Can't wait to see what the next coffee shop brings.

Music Monday!

Oh hey!
I haven't done a Music Monday in awhile, but Hozier's "Jackie and Wilson" has inspired me to do so. So, enjoy!

ps - Another deal breaker in marrying me now, is we have to name our kids Jackie and Wilson.

Coffee.

Hello!
I can't believe that it has been so long since I have written. A lot going on in the world, so you'll have to forgive me.
So, in this New Year, I've decided to focus on things that I can easily accomplish (I really know how to stretch myself) and one of those tasks is to drink more coffee. Luckily, I was able to stumble across this article about the 10 best coffee shops in Chicago, so naturally I'll be trying them all out! Can't wait to start this little journey with you all. Stay tuned for all the caffeinated updates : )

ps - I just realized that is hot chocolate in the picture, but ya'll get the point. 

For my visual learners.

Hello all!
This is just your PSA for today, cuffing season is still in effect, even more so since the weather is getting colder. Be careful and know the facts.
Huffington Post just recently did an article about it, so you know it's real.

ps - Shout out to Susan for finding this article. You get me girl, you get me.

Love never felt so good.

Hello again!
As you guys know from last week football season is back, so a lot of my posts will be dedicated to that. And since I posted a video about how I felt about the loss last week, I thought it would only be appropriate to post a video about how I felt about that win.
So without further ado, Happy Monday and enjoy!

Welp, football is back.

Good Sunday afternoon and welcome back to football season! I'm going to let Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes sing about how I feel about our loss today. Take it away guys.

love,
ktv
ps - It's fine though, next week we will just continue to #BearDown
