It's a Small World

Image
We could have used some more practice, but I wanted to get some videos. We're a little rough here. It’s A Small World It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears, It’s a world of hope and a world of fears. There’s so much that we share, that it’s time we’re aware, It’s a small world after all. It’s a small world after all.  It’s a small world after all, It’s a small world after all.  It’s a small, small world. He’s the Lord of the sky, He’s the Lord of the sea, He’s the Lord of you, He’s the Lord of me. Jesus died on the cross.  And he gives us liberty. He’s the Lord of all. Jesus is Lord of us all, Jesus is Lord of us all, Jesus is Lord of us all, He’s the Lord of all.

Transformation Happens During Renovation

Transformation Happens During Renovation The Bathesheba Battle helps women find hope  in the unexpected and unplanned When you hear the name, Bathsheba, what is the first thing that comes to mind—vixen or victim? Bathsheba, typically misrepresented as an adulteress, is one of the most misunderstood women in the Bible. Despite an unexpected turn in her life, which resulted in tragic circumstances beyond her control, there are glimmers of hope in her story. In The Bathsheba Battle: Finding Hope When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn , Natalie Chambers Snapp leads readers through an exploration of Bathsheba’s story, providing practical insights for the journey to wholeness after life has taken an unplanned twist. Who hasn’t had their lives turned upside down when things haven’t gone as planned? We understand there are consequences to our decisions, but how do we deal with the aftereffects of the choices of others? There are other times when things happen beyond anyone’s contr

Sitting in the Waiting Room of Life is Never Easy

  Sitting in the Waiting Room of Life is Never Easy Barb Roose leads readers to find the blessings in waiting on God Need information quick? Just grab your phone and do a search. Didn’t plan ahead for dinner? Toss something in the Instapot. Forget about patience, we live a world where Prime shipping seems to take too long. Waiting on the little things is an inconvenience, so what happens when we have to wait on the big things? When the bills are stacking up because a new job hasn’t come along, a family situation is causing great heartache, or a loved one faces an illness, we pray for answers. We know God hears our prayers, but it’s hard when the clock is ticking yet He hasn’t shown us the answer. Sometimes he wants us to wait. In her new Bible study I’m Waiting, God: Finding Blessing in God’s Delays , Barb Roose helps readers build patience until God’s plan comes to fruition. In this four-week Bible study, Barb Roose invites us to explore the stories of four women in the

I'm onto something good!

Image
I really hate that the glare from the window gave me a less than perfect picture. I think the one on my iPad is a little better, so I need to switch it out. This weekend, I did a small local event to test out my latest items I'm taking to craft shows in a few weeks. I wanted to get some feedback on my new hymnal canvases. Much like my Dr. Seuss canvases that did so well last year, I take pages from song books and put a line or phrase from the song on them. The entire background is made from the song itself.  These pictures were taken against my turquoise wall in my hall. Right now there isn't anything hanging on one side of the hall, and whatever I do hang may have to come down easy because I like finally having a background to take photos again. By the end of the day, 7 of 11 of these sold, and I have orders for five. Three of those are new songs. The good news is, they are selling, the bad news is that I will never keep caught up.

My God is So Big, So Strong and So Mighty

Image
My God is So Big My God is so big!   So strong and so mighty. There’s nothing my God cannot do. My God is so big!   So strong and so mighty. There’s nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are his and the valleys are his and the trees are his handiwork too. My God is so big!   So strong and so mighty. There’s nothing my God cannot do for you.

The craft room

Image
I've been spending more time in the craft room as it gets closer and closer to craft season. I'll be spending late night soon.  I guess when I took the pictures I thought enough light was coming in. It's super bright with the blinds open. I'll need to take more pictures. It took Angie coming over one night to help me sort through the last of the Readers Digest books and get them sorted. Then, I finally got the last of the craft supply boxes in from the garage.  Square footage wise, when I measured, it was about the same size as over at the last house, but the room is arranged where it seems a whole lot bigger because I can walk all the way around the island.

Blind Spots Are Dangerous

Part 2 of an interview with Tim Riddle and Fil Anderson, Authors of Blind Spots: What You Don’t See Can Hurt You Read part 1 of the interview here.  We all know blind spots are dangerous when we’re changing lanes at 70 mph on an interstate highway. But just as critical are the blind spots that block us from seeing the truth about ourselves and others. No one is immune to either kind.  Blind spots are, by definition, invisible to us. No matter how often we’re reminded to “check our blind spots,” we can’t—at least on our own. Our only hope is for God and others to come alongside us and help point them out. Once identified we can start becoming our best and most authentic self. Blinds Spots coauthors Tim Riddle and Fil Anderson help readers learn how to recognize and avoid blind spots to become more like Jesus, remembering the Holy Spirit is the revealer and healer. By drawing on stories in Scripture and personal experience, the coauthors invite us to engage in an app
