2015 ... Don't Hold Back

On a recent road trip I listened to Max Lacardo's audio book about 'Facing your Giants' .  I has been a timely reminder to make God my focus . So my task this year is to keep God my focus.  With all the busy busy of work and friends and family ... Keep Jesus Christ at the center.  No matter how many years pass, as my relationship will Jesus continues I never cease to learn and grow... Old words I hear anew and different ... New understanding ... New perspective ... Fresh reminders.

2015 needs to be a year where Christ is First, Last and Central . 

Don't Hold Back

Be blessed and be a blessing

God keeps His Promises ...

God keeps His promises ...

I have just finished Holidays ... holidays I spent at home ... relaxing sleeping crafting and renewing ... sometimes the days seem a bit monotonous and I so easily get lost in the business of life ... BUT I know who directs my steps ... I know who holds me fast ... God's word is true ... He holds His ground ... He never wavers.  GodTags was a God whisper that began many years ago and I feel the stirring as though something is about to change ... no sure what yet but cant wait to see the journey continue.

Getting ready for the Moonlight Markets has been productive these holidays.  I have a few new delights.  Struggling with my new Christmas cards but hopefully soon will have a glimpse to show you. 

I hope and pray that God is working through you and that you have have him clearly in your sights, as you walk through your days.  And that you know ... He will never let you go!

Be blessed and be a blessing

'... I knew you ... I set you apart'

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart"

Jeremiah 1:5

 A promise made by God to an old testament Prophet.  

It is as real today as it was then.  

To everyone who calls Christ their own, this is a promise we live by.  

The security of knowing I am valued and significant.

 Knowing I was blessed even before I was born ... This is who I am ... This is who I was created to be ... A Child of God ... One, He calls His own.

This is a promise worth Living out every day!

Be blessed and be a blessing ... for you truly are blessed!

She gave her all ...

Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, “The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they’ll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn’t afford—she gave her all.”

Mark 12 : 41-44

 She gave her all ...

Altruism ...

Altruism ...

Came across this word the other day and just can't seem to shake it from my mind.

It's a word that seems true of Mother Theresa. 

Something about this word seems to resound within me.

I know I aspire to live a life with these qualities ... One day at a time.

How different would this world be if we all tried to be more selfless?

                              altruism

1.the principle or practice of unselfish concern    for or devotion to the welfare of others.

Be blessed and be a blessing

Market inspiration ...

Another year of twilight market season is over ... and as the sun streams into my last market tent, I take a few memory snaps with my camera. 

I always need a deadline to work to ... markets are very useful deadlines.  So with my list of ideas I will start preparing for the markets to begin again at the end of the year. 

Feeling very blessed to have support and encouragement around me! 


Be blessed and be a blessing
