My Jesus Encounter

I woke early this morning despite it being a Saturday. I curled up on the couch for some time with my Abba (Hebrew for Daddy, i.e. God). I read in Jesus, 90 Days With the One and Only about Jesus going to teach in the synagogues or temples and healing all along the way. He did so because He could and how great is that that nothing could and can stop Jesus from doing what ever He wants because what He wants is consistent with who He is. He loves us and He loves His Father. Nothing can stop Him from acting on that. He also did not let the healing and the favor of the people distract Him from teaching and spreading the Good News of coming salvation and grace.

This reminded me that as I have prayed specifically for this job I now have, working with people who do not know or believe in Jesus Christ, I can easily get distracted by job success and favor from my co-workers or the opposite of both. I desire very much for them to see that I accept them just the way they are where they are but I genuinely want better for their lives. When they can accept that I am sincere and honest in this as God's ambassador then they can begin to hope and believe that God is the source of my genuine love and hope for them because it is His love and hope that is in me. I could easily stop at them seeing I genuinely care for them and not reveal to them that it is not me but Jesus in me. I prayed that this morning and then chose to read some of Matthew. What I found was Matthew 10, Jesus commands to His disciples as He prepared to send them out. I know that this was a reading prompted by His Holy Spirit directly. I encourage you to read it because we all have our fields we are tending as God's children. We are His ambassadors sent out to represent Him to this land that does not know Him. I pray that God speaking to me this morning encourages you and just maybe is speaking through my words to you right now.

With love.

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
