Inspiring posts with a Christian message of faith.
Storms come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they blanket the Earth in a dark heavy downpour. Some are cleansing and wash away all the grey matter accumulated over time. One of the dark storms hit me towards the end of last year. It didn’t just show up one day, it slowly rolled into town…
Would you like to meet the newest member of our family? This is the story of how he joined our clan and the sweet message God gave me through him. Knock Knock Knock. Like clockwork every day after school the new little neighbor boy would peek through the glass on our kitchen door. Inviting my…
If you have been following along I told you last week that I have felt a tug to see the unseen this holiday season. To stop and look around for those that go overlooked. Maybe you feel the same way too? If so I have something just for you! When thinking on what I could…
It’s hard to say if this is a milk glass knock off or a ironstone knockoff tutorial. Either way I am excited to share my $3 centerpiece with you guys today. Last week I shared most of my Christmas home tour and today you get to peek at the dining room, with a simple tip…
You are officially invited to join me for a special advent series/book club/craft event. I have never really done anything special for advent. Every year I strive to get closer to the real meaning of Christmas. I try to tackle shopping earlier and let family drama roll off my back. Each year I get a…
Today I am sharing a project I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’m going to show you how to carve a bible verse into furniture. My friend did it a few years back on a project and I have been in love with the idea ever since! If I would have know how easy…
I’m going to be totally honest with y’all today. Well, I always am but today might not be the pretty kind of honest. I’m sharing how to make these adorable black and white pumpkins that go with the whole books and pages theme I have going on at my house for fall. They are messy…
When I flip through the pages of my favorite magazines my mind does a lot of things. First my eyes soak in the beautiful photographs of perfectly styled homes. Next, I inspect the pictures to see what elements I have in my own home, or wish I did. Most of the time I simply resolve to…
It’s hard to admit, but 40 did a number on my eyes. My whole life I’m the girl you wanted to have with you when hunting…for deer or treasures. But 40. Now “cheaters” help blurry words come to life on the page. Having a need for cheaters brings on a whole other problem….being able to…
Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to attend the She Speaks conference put on by the Proverbs 31 Ministry team. If you are not familiar with Proverbs 31, they are a large non-denominational ministry focused on bringing women into relationship with Christ. Every morning one of their devotionals slides into my mail box with…
I came across this dirty old lamp shade at a garage sale the other day. It set me back $1. Admittedly, I had no idea what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but it had good bones that spoke to me. Good bones really are the key to seeing diamonds…
We’ve all been there at some point. Sitting in a house we don’t love. Just biding our time until we can move. Things will be better when we have more space, a bigger yard, an updated kitchen or _____ (fill in the blank with your dream). We sit. Held captive by our home. Temporarily immobilized….
I’m about to unleash the best tip on finding what your looking for. It’s so simple, yet so profound. If you’ve been here a minute you know strolling the fields at Round Top or making tracks around town to garage sales are my very favorite things to do. The biggest comment I get from people…
My eyes eagerly scan the goods piled in heaps around the store. I’m hunting. Like my cat, Boo, crouched down ready to pounce on an unsuspecting lizard. Not even knowing what it is I’m looking for, I do know the familiar lunge my heart takes when my sights lock in on a treasure. My pulse…
Once a month a group of us get together for the Junk Visionaries Challenge. This month the challenge is called Bits & Pieces. It’s about putting two separate junk things together to make a one new awesome thing. My project carried a lot of meaning and after you read all the bits and pieces that…
