The Beginning

Starting doing beading in @1995 after getting alcohol poisoning while out partying with friends. It is a talent that God gave me to keep me from trying to kill myself (literally through binge drinking and then driving while drunk) From broken to Reborn, from lost to Found, God gave me this talent to make jewelry and I didn't realize how relevant it was to my life until I was listening to the radio praising God and this song came on (of course I forgot the name and such) but it talked about taking the old and making it new again. God did that with me as I do that with my jewelry! I love taking old broken pieces and recreating something new and exciting. If the necklace doesn't have earrings with it, I can make some to go with it. Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of death. vs 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. It only through Jesus can we be truly changed, He alone has all power to deliver us from the bondage of sin and give us new life.
And while this started out as Jewelry, it has become a creative outlet in Bible Journaling and other crafts. Keep God number one in everything you do!

Thankful Tuesday

Today let's be thankful for growing relationships with God.  He is amazing and has so much love for His creation. Today's bible reading is Matthew 1:18-20. It is about the beginning of Jesus' birth when Joseph was going to give up on Mary. God revealed (through an Angel) His plan. Joseph still could have said "No way, Man...I am not up to this." But he didn't. He held his head up and went forward with Mary.
How many times have we had a plan revealed to us and we skirted away in fear. I know I have but I am so thankful that through skirting God's plan, I found His Love waiting for me AGAIN - just as He promised.  He is such a loving father!  He doesn't forsake me (or you)! God is ALWAYS and FOREVER!
I pray today brings you a refreshed and awakened spirit that welcomes renewing God's love and relationship!
