Facebook Friday~{Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious!}

15 November, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan Leave a Comment

Going to Prague, Czech Republic is much like stepping into the past…a hidden fairy tale land. Everywhere you go the architecture is spectacular. And the manner of raising children in Prague is so different than here in the U.S. Children are regraded very highly and are allowed their independence at a much younger age. It was hard to get used to children walking through town and catching the tram or metro all alone to get to school and back. It made me think of Mary Poppins so I thought “Why not?” So here’s your free facebook timeline cover from fairy land!

Hope you enjoy your free supercalifragilisticexpialidocious timeline photo! (I’d LOVE for you to Click HERE to tweet!)

To make this photo your facebook timeline photo:

1. Click on the photo and a menu will come up where you choose “save image as.” (Use a two-finger click on the photo on a mac and right click on the photo on a PC)

2. In the window that comes up you can rename your photo and choose where to save it (I always save to my desktop, then move it later if I want to keep it.)

3. Then click save.

4. Go to your facebook page.

5. Put the cursor on your timeline photo, and you will see the option to “change cover” appear. Click on it.

6. Choose the option to “upload a photo.”

7. When you click on “upload a photo” your files will appear.

8. Choose desktop (or wherever you saved your photo) and highlight your new timeline photo, then go to the bottom of the page and click “choose.”

That’s it! The image is already the correct size for the timeline cover.

Not All is Lost! {Guest Post on Marriage and Addiction}

20 October, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 5 Comments

Today I have a guest post on dealing with addiction in the marriage relationship from Saint Jude Retreats. Hope you enjoy!

Not all is lost!

By Annie Kochneva (Saint Jude Retreats)

When thinking about marriage, more often than not, people would first recall the beginning stages of how their family came to be. The proposal, the excitement, the wedding preparation, the vows, the respect and appreciation, the general care for the other person, their feelings and their well-being, the pure love that started it all. Everyone and anyone would like to think at that beginning stage that people, feelings and things stay the same and they can live in that frozen moment in time, when everything was well… just perfect.

In reality, people, feelings and things change. Sometimes these changes are for the better- people build loving relationships, stronger marriages, unbreakable bonds, mutual respect and understanding.

Sometimes, things don’t work out quite that way. It is an uncomfortable topic for many to discuss, but it is vital to share it with as many people as possible, because realizing that we are not alone sometimes might make the difference between “to repair” or “ to break” a marriage. There are so many factors in a marriage that can affect it in a way to make it more challenging for the people who are trying to make it work; however, substance use, whether it is alcohol or drug or both, is one of the top reasons for divorce in our society.

The reason behind this is perhaps because it is one of the few reasons that affect not only the couple, but the whole family- children and relatives included. It is completely understandable that the stronger the feelings between the spouses prior the substance use, the bigger impact can such an external factor have on their relationship. When that is the case, it is that much harder, because the bigger the expectations are- the bigger the disappointment is at the end. To make things even worse, usually the extended family and friends not only do not support, but sometimes even discourage the spouse, who is not involved in substance use, to continue the relationship and rebuild the marriage. And the loss of support in such a moment can be crucial for some couples, making it a tipping point in the direction of a divorce.

Therefore, it is vital for spouses to understand that there are alternatives and there are support channels to help rebuilding relationships that have been affected by substance use, but most of all, that there is hope. Many couples manage not only to rebuild their marriages but to actually make them stronger. No matter which side of the equation you are on- the substance user or the spouse, you can actively participate in the process of saving your marriage, instead of silently observing its ruin. How can you do this?

– Talk the talk–

In order to rebuild, you have to open up to each other first and that is valid for both sides. Let the other person know how you feel, share your fears and expectations and rebuild your trust.

– Own up to it–

To be able to move on, you first have to admit to your choices, decisions and actions that affected your marriage or your partner in a negative way. Then, you have to accept the consequences that come with them. That applies for both partners.

– Seek support–

Some couples manage to rebuild their lives together and avoid divorce on their own, so it is not impossible. However, there are many alcohol programs that can actively support you in that process and it will be that much easier to let them guide you through that process, there is no need to rediscover the wheel.

– Put in the work-

After you talk the talk, this is the stage where you have to walk the walk. Nobody can do it for you, but many have done it before you.

And remember, nobody else can do it for you, but you can do it.

Facebook Friday~ Free Timeline Cover {God’s Word Stands Forever}

18 October, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan Leave a Comment

I thought when I sent Miranda off to college that I was done helping with homework. Even though she’s an accounting major at a Christian College, she has to take a New Testament class, which is full of theology and many words that are over both our heads! And of all weeks to have a major research paper due, she has strep throat. Guess who she calls to help? Yep—me. Her mama. I guess she’s got me wrapped around her little finger too…and here all these years I thought it was only her daddy!

We spent about 8 hours researching and interpreting before she finally got the paper done, but in the process, she received an amazing message. That the word of God is living…always. It had a message for the Christians in Rome when Nero was in rule, and it has a message for us today. Even though we were exhausted and she felt horrible from her strep throat, it was a great day. I’m so glad I was able to go help her.

Then this verse came to mind…

God’s word is living and working every single day. It’s the number one best seller of ALL TIME. There’s a reason for that! Take in that living word daily, so it might shine in your daily life. I’m taking my own advice here too.

Hope you enjoy the timeline photo!

“Unstoppable” by Kirk Cameron {…and a Facebook Friday Timeline Cover}

4 October, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 7 Comments

Last month I wrote a post titled, “Where is God When Bad Things Happen to Good People?” and gave my thoughts on that age-old question. Tonight we saw Kirk Cameron’s new documentary, “Unstoppable” in which he goes in his own journey after losing a young friend to cancer to answer that same question. While many of our conclusions were similar, one of his insights just…well…knocked me right upside the head.

We know the Bible contains story after story of bad things happening to good people and we see how God uses them for His kingdom. But there’s one story I never thought of…and it’s the most obvious and answers the question better than I ever could.

What is the single worst event that happened in the Bible? And who did it happen to?

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The brutal beating, tearing of his skin, nailing of his hands and feet to the cross, and the waiting…and finally his death. And all of that happened to the only sinless human being this world has ever seen. And why did all of those bad things happen to the best person?

To save the world.

Facebook Friday~Free Timeline Cover…”One Hundred Years From Now…”

27 September, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan Leave a Comment

When I was in Prague, we went to a little town outside of Prague called Lidice. It was a small village of around 500 people or so when Hitler decided to make an example of it to show his power and kill everyone in the village, including 80 children. This statue was truly amazing…words really cannot describe the feeling standing at this statue looking at the detail and expression in the faces of these children who were robbed their chance of growing old. A very sad and humbling experience. Because of the magnitude of the holocaust, the story of Lidice is mostly unknown. If you’d like to read more about the history of this village and exactly what happened click HERE.

I loved the memorial statue not only because it represented the children of Lidice, but also because it made me think about the lives of these children…and my own children. These children should have been part of the future of their nation, as our children hopefully will be part of ours. No time invested into the lives of our children is wasted. Hopefully you will enjoy this free facebook timeline cover as a reminder of just how important our children are.

“Where is God when bad things happen to good people?”

11 September, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 11 Comments

We seem to be in a season of suffering. And we are especially sensitive today since it’s the anniversary of 9/11. It seems that bad things are happening to people all around us. Finances, divorce, drugs, death…and the list goes on and on. Just this week a friend of my daughter’s drowned at Lake Keowee trying to help another girl.

So the age-old question, once again, is asked, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”

Is God punishing us? Does he not care? Is he too busy for me?

The answer to all of those questions is unequivocally NO. God loves us beyond what we could ever imagine. We are his children.

…For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” (Hebrews 13: 5-6 NLT)

My friends Betsy and Bob (who I visited this summer) are missionaries in Prague, Czech Republic. So many people think, “Wow…what a great place to be a missionary. How hard can it be in comparison to Ethiopia or India or another third world country.” Believe me. It’s hard. I saw it first hand. Europe is not a third world country and most people in Europe don’t think they need God. Why would they when their lives are hunky-dory? So actually convincing people that having a relationship with God is a good thing—that it’s necessary—is very difficult. To even broach the subject requires months of developing a personal relationship with them. That’s love, people. And it takes a lot of it.

Here’s the thing. Our suffering increases our awareness of God’s presence.

Sometimes we need to emptied of our own resources and pride so we can rely on Him.

Does he cause our suffering? I don’t think so. But he does walk through it with us, whether we realize it or not. He will dwell with us through the pain.

And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? (Matthew 6:30 NLT)

Often when we are in the midst of a trial we may feel underserving of God’s love. It’s certainly not uncommon for our own sin to be the cause of our suffering. In my case, even though I ended up dependent and then addicted to a narcotic from a medical condition, the desperation shame was there, none the less. Even though I knew better, on a subconscious level, I pulled away from God because I felt underserving of His love…and His grace and mercy.

Nothing we can do can make us unworthy of God’s love. We may feel like He’s not there when we are suffering, when in fact, we are the ones pulling away from Him!

But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. (Isaiah 59:1 ESV)

But why? Why have our sins separated us from God when He sent His son to die on the cross for our sins? When Jesus’s blood covers our sin? It’s us. What if we separate ourselves because we don’t feel worthy?

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; (Isaiah 59:1 ESV)

God loves you. No matter what.

Don’t let the trickery of the enemy deceive you into believing you are not worthy. All of God’s children are worthy in His eyes. He didn’t send Jesus…His only son…for someone he didn’t love. He sent His son for you.

Let Him walk beside you during the hard times. Let his peace flow over you. I’m a believer in imagery. When I’m in the shower, I will often pray and imagine the water as the peace of God flowing down over my head. Crazy? Maybe. But it works.

And a final thought that brings it home for me is this: There is only ONE person in all of history that was perfect. That was Jesus himself. He walked and lived on this earth as a human for 33 years, not sinning even once. And what happened to this perfect human being? He suffered the most horrific death I could imagine…being nailed to a cross and left to die a slow, painful death in front of a crowd of people some cheering because He was being put to death, and some His faithful followers, crying tears of sadness. But what happened when this horrid thing happened to this perfect human? The world was saved. By God sending his son Jesus to willfully let the Romans and Jews hang him on the cross to die, He gave us the opportunity to have eternal life with Him in Heaven. He gave us…horrible sinners…a way out of this sinful world. What better example of what CAN happen when bad things happen to good people.

Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT)

Never forget….

He loves you. He is with you. You are worthy.

Habit vs. Addiction and the God-Sized Hole in Your Heart

6 September, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 7 Comments

We are creatures of habit. And we LOVE our creature comforts. You know, those things that make us feel warm and fuzzy, cozy…give us a sense of well-being. Things that make us feel like everything is going to be okay.

And for the most part, they’re not a problem.

BUT…you knew it was coming…BUT Satan knows our weaknesses and insecurities. He knows how to use our creature comforts against us. And when those comforts become habits, we are in danger of them becoming addictions. And the enemy is sneaky. It’ll happen before we know it.

I’m battling one of my own right now. I’ve always loved a good television show—curling up on the sofa in my down comforter getting totally lost in another world. There was a time that I did this to escape my own depression. Thankfully, that’s not the case now. I just love a good show! But oh my gosh…NETFLIX IS THE DEVIL! You can get into a good show and you don’t have to wait a week to see what happens! You can watch one episode after another, after another…you get the picture. The only things that saves me from becoming a complete couch potato is my computer. I can carry it around the house with me and watch while I do laundry, dishes, clean out the closet, etc…and it actually makes those tasks much more bearable.

At least Netflix is better than Lortab, right?

But no matter what our “vice” is, Satan knows how to use it.

We all have a God sized hole in our heart. Satan loves for us to try to fill that hole with anything except God. But just like a puzzle piece, that hole is made for God and only God. No matter what else we try to cram in there, it won’t perfectly fit.

Don’t let Satan take those seemingly innocent creature comforts and turn them into addictions. (You can tweet this one ) Check out this great graphic created by designer Adrienne Erin that explains how habits become addictions. She’s crammed LOTS of great info here to arm ourselves with…and some of it may shock you. Don’t be surprised if you see yourself somewhere in there–I know I did! Arming ourselves with knowledge helps us to fight Satan’s craftiness. (You can tweet this one too! ) Click on the graphic itself to go to 12 Palms Rehab for a further explanation.

Don’t give the enemy any satisfaction!

Replace rock music with Christian music.

Replace shopping with volunteer work.

Replace junkfood with healthy options.

Replace internet surfing with reading your Bible.

Replace Netflix…well, I’ll have to keep working on that one!

Just Northwest of the Cows~A Free Facebook Timeline Cover

24 August, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 5 Comments

I know, I know. I’ve been AWOL for awhile! Shortly after my last post, I went to Europe…which I planned to blog through…but really had no idea how busy and tired and jet lagged and overwhelmed I would be. And yes, a little homesick too. Don’t get me wrong, it was an awesome trip. But my emotional brain was just too tired to blog my way through the trip. I’ll be sharing pics and stories though…don’t worry!

As soon I returned from Europe, I attended the She Speaks conference in Charlotte, then spent two weeks trying to get my house back in order after having to move out, have the floors refinished, and move back in…all the while getting my oldest daughter, Miranda, ready to move to college.

Isn’t her dorm room cute???

So Miranda’s off to college, Trevor started high school, and Marlee is big man on campus in the 5th grade…though little Marlee will never really be big man on any campus

So this is why I’ve been AWOL. But the break has been good. I think I was getting a little burnt out spending so much time in front of this computer screen.

I thought I’d kick off the fall with a free facebook timeline cover for you from the midst of the Swiss Alps.

One of the many highlights of my trip was the day we spent in Switzerland driving over the Swiss Alps (in a 5 speed btw) to go see the Matterhorn.

When we got over the river…

And around the bends…

And Past the flags…

And over the tracks…

And past the cow paths…

And through the Edleweiss…

And just northwest of the cows, where you could still hear the cowbells ringing in the distance…

We found the sweetest little church, nestled right there in the midst of God’s creation…

It was magical. And inspiring. And enchanting.

So to share a little of this magic with you I’ve created for you a free facebook timeline cover complete with easy step-by-step instructions:

It helps me remember just how big God is…

To make this photo your facebook timeline photo:

1. Click on the photo and a menu will come up where you choose “save image as.” (Use a two-finger click on the photo on a mac and right click on the photo on a PC)

2. In the window that comes up you can rename your photo and choose where to save it (I always save to my desktop, then move it later if I want to keep it.)

Happy fall y’all (well almost) …I’ll be talking to you more soon!

If you like what I’ve created for you would you do me a favor?

Just share this post using the “Share the Love” buttons at the bottom of the page, or subscribe to my blog in your email.

I loved working in the pharmacy because people came to me. Selling myself? Not a fan.

I don’t have a drop of salesman’s blood in my body,so I would love some help from you!

Graffiti Summer~Homeless, But Not Hopeless (Recognized by the next generation…)

2 July, 2013 by Celeste Vaughan 25 Comments

Last year my daughter, Miranda, created a promotional video to raise awareness for the Homeless in our area, and to make people aware of a fantastic mission we have here in the Greenville, SC area for the homeless.

She got much more than she bargained for.

Her initial thoughts were to go in, talk to some of the administrators (who turned out to be one person, Pastor Deb), and create a video of the center itself.

What she found was people. People just like her daddy, who’d ended up in situations beyond their control that landed them homeless. She saw the love of Christ through the ministry of Triune Mercy Center and saw how that love brings changes.

Forgiveness.

Hope.

Salvation.

I have been out of town so much this summer that I haven’t done well keeping up with Alene’s Graffiti study that she wrote with the homeless man (that was actually my intention when I started these posts) but from what I’ve seen it’s a great book that she actually cowrote with a homeless man, so I thought Miranda’s video might fit in well with the study. Be sure to check out Alene’s book:

Hope you enjoy the video…listen especially to the music:

As I’ve been traveling lately, I haven’t had a chance to keep up with my posts. But I wanted to share the trailer for a new documentary coming out soon that will shed some light on addiction…hopefully giving courage to those who feel the need to remain anonymous. There is power in numbers people, and there are many recovering addicts. Unfortunately, according to statistics, there will be many more addicts (recovering or not) in the future. And if you’re a parent, don’t take this subject for granted. The very best cure is prevention. Take a second to watch it here:

God is omnipotent. {ALL powerful} Why do we put limits on Him? Believing that it’s just not possible?

That’s just it.

HE is strong enough.

Enough said.

{Besides the fact that we’re driving and I get sick if I look down too much }

P.S. I’m reading Heather Kopp’s book Sober Mercies and I saw this trailer on her blog if you’d like to view her post click HERE.
