Hey There- It's Been A While!

Well hey there dear! How you been? Hasn't our world been just crazy here lately!? So much has happened since I last posted but I have truly missed blogging and I want to get back to it- FULL TIME! When I started this blog it was primarily a ministry based blog I guess you could say but now a day's I am finding joy in not just the spiritual aspect of my life but I am truly finding joy in the everyday. 

Slow Stitching- #52tagshannemade- My Progress so Far!

 

February has been off to a great start for me. We have had much cooler weather and a bit of snow here and there so I have been inside quite a bit. As I have been going through all of my junk, lol, I came across my threads and fabrics that I have not had much time to work on. I used to sew A LOT but now, well life. Hahaha! Anyways, I do not sit still really well, I have to keep my hands and mind busy. So I pulled my sewing stuff out and got back into sewing by hand. THEN I found the #52tagshannemade challenge! 

The Lie of More

For several years now, starting in October 2018 to be exact, I started on a journey. I accidently came across a documentary "The Minimalists" and was quickly fascinated. I loved how simple their lives were and to be honest, I had some of their same "issues" as to why minimialism was so appealing. You see I started working at the age of 15. Job on top of job with sometimes as many as three jobs at one time, trying to have it all. And I discovered something along the way. The lie of more.

When the Unexpected Happens

It was a Sunday afternoon, 20 days ago, I never would thought this is where the day would lead. Truth is unexpected days are never on our radars, are they? Every single day is an unexpected. So why do we depend on life to go as planned?

How Soon We Forget- New Faith Community Announcement!!

Recently my family and I took a hiking trip to the top of a high mountain called Chimney Rock. The trail said strenuous but we ignored that part and off we went. Now I should start by saying that we are no where near "in shape" nor do we hike often at all. But we wanted to do this. About a quarter of the way we realized what we had done. We had gotten into a hard situation. We stopped often, we complained and we huffed and puffed along with extreme sweating. This was the one set of stairs about half way up the trail. It was tough.

Get off the Hampster Wheel

1st left handed watercolor Bible Journaling page. Titus 3:5 we can stop the hamster wheel of seeking others approval, of trying to be good enough for God because our best don't even impress him. Nope! All that we can do is obey, have faith in who God is, study Bible doctrine DAILY ( if Bible is our spiritul food we need food daily!!!(, and confess our sins daily or better the second we do them!! Then we can watch God do his thing. 😍😍😍 

I Tried and Failed...Or Did I?

 The definition of success seems to be "trying but failing, over and over again, until you figure out what works". Yep that seems about right in my life. You? Well, I failed....ALOT! But along the way I figured out what worked.
