Next Step ...

Living my best life … Giving it all I have … Shining the light of Christ … all these things drive my passion.

My aim is to encourage Christians just like me, to stay connected to the people in their life and to reach out and encourage others to come along for the ride.

Communication with others and God.

Good old fashioned communication … friendship based communication … 

genuine heartfelt … God Love.

I do this by making collage postcards … and the next step for me is doing markets in the new year.

(my church has a catch phrase ... Next Step ... so what is your next step?)

My theme is all about Jesus.

But in all this clarity I sometimes get a bit distracted by the buzz of being commercial … of reaching a wider audience … making cards that have a more general theme.

God always brings me home … and reminds me.  He is a good God.  This week’s reminder was listening to a podcast by Jonathan Fields, Good Life Project.

An interview with Brad Feld. 

Some days I am like a kid in a candy shop … I see all kinds of opportunities ... and my creative brain goes bezerk … but all good things are not necessarily what God has planned for me.

My 2% customer is a mini of me … all about a living faith and relationship with God … and reaching out to community … staying connected.

Thanks God for placing a passion in my heart and working it out through my hands.

So if God has done this for me … He can so do the same for you … Just ask Him … then wait to see the opportunity and possibility that comes.

Be blessed and be a blessing

... GodTags is alive ...

 
This moving ... changing ... evolving body of work that is GodTags ... has been evaluated.

And the score card has come in ...

A+ ideas and purpose
B+ content and direction
C+ art and postcards
F- marketing and sales

Though GodTags is alive ... it is a work in progress ... and far from my expectations.

God is moving and I can feel he is pushing me and moving me in His directions ... I just have to keep listening ... I just have to keep on keeping on His path because it will all come together ... I can feel it in my bones.

I also need to put more of me into my GodTags blogging ... so you will start to see some of my 'post it' fetish appearing ... bring back the bullet points ... I am all about note taking ... and I love the idea of a taste testing plate ... in the form of writings and photos and stories and colors and textures ... glimpses of various things that I love and want to share with you ...

... my epiphany moment came today when I realized that I actually like the content in my newsletter better than my blog ... so lets migrate these two together and I think I have found my voice. 


GodTags is alive!!!  Stop Revive Survive

As always

Be blessed and be a blessing

... grow in the Fruit of the Spirit ...

" the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control ... since we live by the spirit, let us keep in step with the spirit." 

Galatians 5 : 22 - 25

So as we come to the end of the Fruit of the Spirit series ... I pray that you have been encouraged and inspired to pass in God's abundant Love.

... nothing can separate us from the love of God ... we are not alone in our journey ... He has given us the Holy Spirit as our constant companion ... May your heart be filled to overflowing with his Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.

Trust in the Lord to mold you and make you more like Him.

... fruit of the spirit ...

" the fruit of the spirit is Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

Galatians 5 : 22 -  23

Our first theme will be the' fruit of the spirit'.

Each week we will explore this verse, with GodTags and stationery.

GodTags are a picture or link that you can copy and keep to be reminded of the greatness of our God and His Love.

My prayer is that through the coming weeks God will encourage and inspire you to pass on His Love.

Be blessed and be a blessing
