The Cordle Fam

We all made it back to Newnan yesterday for the evening. While there, Anna performed her first real haircut. Naturally, videos were in order.

Most everyone that reads about The Cordle Fam already knows that I have started Cosmetology school. If not, now you do. I have just completed my first month of school and I never thought I would say this but I LOVE SCHOOL! I love it! I have had such a fun month. I have never felt as certain as I do right now that the Lord is in control and I am where I am suppose to be. I have such a peace about school. I love going. So, for those who I don’t talk to everyday… Right now we practice everyday on mannequins. It is rather Hilarious to walk around and everyone playing with Heads. My friend Mary Ragan one day looked at me and said “Anna Catherine, we are adults playing with adult Barbies!”  WOW… It is so true! Our desks are Hair Chair/ Hair Stations, my “school supplies” are Blow Dryer, Brushes, Curling Iron, Clips, Combs, Bobby Pins, etc… I have learned Shampooing, Blow Drying, Thermal Curls, Roller Sets, Manicure, Pedicure, Paraffin Wax, 0 Degree Haircut, and Perm Sets.  Wonder what I am going to learn tomorrow…

I tried something new today at Starbucks and I highly recommend it…  The London Fog Tea Latte

Here is the description from the website:

Full leaf black tea with citrusy Italian Bergamot and a hint of lavender. Sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with steamed milk and velvety foam.

Grow strong in the Light of My Presence. Your weakness does not repel Me. On the contrary, it attracts My Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to Me with your gaping neediness; let the Light of My Love fill you.

A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets rough. It musters the courage to thank Me even during hard times. Yielding yourself to My will is ultimately an act of trust. In quietness and trust is your strength.

Psalm 116:6

This is a little excerpt from “Jesus Calling,” by Sarah Young. It has become our fam’s favorite devo book. If mom has not already given you this book, I recommend getting it. It is crazy how fitting each day’s devotion really is exactly what I need to hear.

LOVE YALL!

I know I’m a few weeks late for the whole New Year’s resolution thing, but I wanted to try and set out a few goals for the upcoming year. I made a pretty extensive list, and then began looking for a theme. So, after taking a good look and thinking about it for a while, I decided to create a mission statement of sorts. My production crew at work did this last Fall, and it’s worked out really well.

I’m usually pretty good at mismanaging my time, so my personal mission statement mainly deals with how I should be spending it…

Times past exist only in memories, therefore I will strive to create as many memorable moments as I can by doing things to grow myself, my future, my relationships, & my faith.

What do you think? I’d love to hear about some of your personal mission statements…and if you don’t yet have one, I’d like to challenge you to create one and share it with us! Love y’all.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

This post is a little late but I feel that it is important for everyone to see the talent that The Cordle Fam has. After we left Louisiana we went to Jackson. We went to hang out with the Garlingtons. We played Rock Band! Who knew that we had this much talent!

Okay… I know you have all been anxiously waiting for this and you can barely stand it any longer

Well here we go!!!!!
