Inspiring posts with a Christian message of faith.
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…
This women is warm, she is seriously funny, generous, honest, loyal, real and downright beautiful. She tells it like she sees it and I enjoy that so much in a friend. Her laugh is spectacular and she is contagious. I can’t wait for you to meet my friend I love how real Robin is. She…
You might walk through our home today and think it looks good (or maybe not). I think to really appreciate how much change occurred you would’ve had to walk through it before it was ours. When it was just a house. To really engage all of your senses in the state of this house’s disarray. Pictures are…
This week we are chatting with the sweetest of sweet people I know. She oozes peace and love. This girl has slightly funky taste that is unique and inspirational. Just like her. If you want a faithful till the end friend and prayer women you need to meet her. Crystal is a blessing in my life…
Let me introduce you to this little ray of sunshine named Jori. God crossed our paths through bible study and drew us closer by placing us together in a small prayer group within the same study. She blessed me back then when we prayed for each other, but little did I know how much she…
Maps intrigue me. I miss the day when the front seat was filled with an oversized, impossible to fold back the right way good old fashioned road map. I get the benefit of gps navigation and having that mysterious voice echo through your car, “turn left in one mile.” But with a paper map you…
Welcome to the kickoff week of Women and their gifts. I hope you will take a minute to sit down and just listen to some girls chit chat each week about their gifts. It is a fun series to help point out that we are all gifted in unique ways, how we can use those gifts…
I work best off a theme. Birthday parties, decorating any event really. A theme provides a launching point for the ideas to start flowing and pictures to start conjuring in my head. When my girlfriend and I were decorating for another friend we asked her a question to help us develop a game plan and feel for her…
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Just a little thought for the day. When I reach for my phone it is a good time to mentally recall the picture above. It is also a time to think on Jeremiah 33:3. Sometimes God…
Laundry Drying Rack DIY After dropping off my two big kids at school I drove the same way I always do. Like a beacon in the night this bright yellow gift shone from afar. Of course I drove straight over and rescued this abandoned crib from the fate of the dump. Neighbors eyeballing me like…
My major in college was Industrial Distribution. What is that you ask? Basically it is an engineering business degree. Sounds odd I’m sure for an artsy type girl. Anyway, one of my favorite classes was fluid dynamics. I’m sure this is the perfect opportunity to insert some kind of bar/drinking college joke, but I will…
Today I am not writing about decorating or junking or painting. Today I am hoping you will humor me as I pay a small tribute to my dear friend and companion, my dog Rusty. Todd and I got Rusty for Valentine’s Day 1998, he was six weeks old. Rusty had a rough start. He was a…
Whenever I am working on a project that needs painting or has a saw involved my “workspace” is the porte-cochere between my house and our guest house. The guest house was a garage in it’s past life, before we bought our house and turned it into a retreat for company. That means we don’t have…
I’m a saver. Not necessarily in the good money kind of way. Not in the hoarder way either. I’m the kind that buys a new outfit and saves it till I have somewhere important to wear it. I save my favorite scrapbook paper and stickers till the perfect project comes along. I save scripture verses…
I frequent all the typical junk joints – flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores, etc., but curbside shopping is a personal favorite. Curbside shopping is open for business 24/7, any place, anytime for anybody. Best of all it’s FREE. You will rarely find something in someone’s bulk trash pile that doesn’t require some TLC and…
