Inspiring posts with a Christian message of faith.
Rag Garland on the cutest Laundry Room Drying Rack It wasn’t a matter of if but more like when. My first “hater” heckle. Anytime you put yourself out there – your thoughts, ideas, projects and opinions – others will have an opinion of you. I knew it was coming. I have to admit I was…
Dear Pinterest, Oh Pinterest, how I love you. With the click of a mouse I have millions of other’s creativity at my fingertips. Ideas that never crossed my mind. Some ideas that have, but I’m clueless on how to execute. I love scouring my feed for solutions to my decorating nightmares, inspiration when my mind…
43 Tips on Finding and Using Your God Given Gifts Last week was the last interview in my Women And Their Gift Series. It was one of the first things I felt lead to do when I started this blog. I felt a nudge to get women to open up, look into themselves and share…
This amazingly talented lady has been a presence in my life for over twenty years now! That is not to say we were close for all those years. The truth is she was an example of Godly grace and truth that I secretly longed to be but didn’t know how. Back then I would actually call…
DIY Necktie Art As I sit and write this I am looking out over a calm, gently lapping lake. The breeze is cool and the air is filled with what seems like a hundred different songs. Its morning and the birds are busy. This peaceful setting is a gift from one of my precious friends….
Julie is living proof to me how God works down deep in the details of life. He crossed our paths years ago and then brushed our lives together here and there for a while. The whole time God knew we would eventually serve side by side in a ministry we love and adore. He planned…
It is now quiet in my home and I’m so glad to be back in the midst of the crazy chaos of our little world. My husband and I had a weekend away for a business trip and client’s event. We ate and ate then we got to dress up (which we rarely do), did…
She is cute, organized, fun, funny, creative and would drop anything for a friend. I mean it – this lady is loyal and true. She loves the Lord, loves his word and loves to share it with others. The first time I met Katie many years ago was at bible study. I knew I wanted…
I’m thankful for…these are the only words that come to me today. God must really be telling me to reflect. Take time and breath. I had other posts planned for today. But that is ok. I think I am also a little inspired by my new friend’s blog and the way she starts each week. With…
Learn how to make beautiful salt shaker tassels using collected salt shakers. Being on the hunt for antiques or junk is always more fun when you collect something or are searching for a particular item. One thing my mom and I have kept our eyes peeled for over the years is salt and pepper shakers. It…
Have you ever heard the Sammy Kershaw song She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful? Might sound a little redneck, but I love some Sammy. Anyway, this song is all I can think of when pondering how to describe my precious friend Allison. She is completely unaware to the talent and graciousness she carries wherever she goes. Our…
Do your kids ever inspire you? There are times when I am just blown away by my children’s view on a situation or themselves. They have such precious, innocent, unpolluted thoughts. It is a marvel and really makes the childlike faith talked about in Mark 10:15 understandable. My daughter ran for student council at the…
Do you ever meet someone and immediately know they are special and kind. That is how I felt about Nancy when I met her years ago. We have such kindred spirits and share so many of the same loves. She has an amazing yard and garden, is crazy gifted at quilting (sewing in general) and…
Have you ever noticed how many people pick their nose in their car? Seriously – my husband and I went through a spell swapping unbelievable accounts of grown men and women picking, examining and eating out of their nose while stopped at lights. Everywhere we went we saw this…over and over. Both of us. A lot….
This series usually goes out on Friday, but I really wanted to get this interview out before then, so I am changing up the week a little bit… This week in our Women and Their Gift series we are spending time in the closet with my dear friend Stacie. Stacie looks cute and put together…
