Great weekend

This weekend has been just awesome. I have had a couple conversations with people that have had God's finger prints all over them. I had a divine appointment where I was in the right place at the right time for God to use me and I can't tell you how much I needed that right now. Even though circumstances are a still not where I want them to be, I realize that God has them right where He wants them to be for our good and for Him to be glorified. Tonight I facilitated a discussion with the youth group girls about God's sovereignty. Listening to them open up and share made my heart just swell with love for them. I could truly see the precious daughters that God sees when He looks at them. I know God has a plan in whether we will stay in Richmond or move to Raleigh but since I can only see Richmond right now, I see so many things here, so much possibility for fruitful action, soil ready to be seeded and others ready for harvest. God has also opened Dan's and my eyes every so slightly to the possibilities in Raleigh as well so more than anything, no matter how painful it could be, I want to glorify God. The closer I grow to Him the more I want others to know Him as well. I do admit though, I've moved so much it would be nice to put down roots for a while. Maybe that isn't what God has for us and I guess that is okay too.

Right now, I am thankful for where I am today never mind where I was yesterday or where I will be tomorrow. Today I am thankful for today. As my youth girls and I discussed, the shmushing, shmashing and more schmush process is difficult (more on shmushing later) but I know it has and will continue to make me even stronger and reach out to even more people to show Christ's love.

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...

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 ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
