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!

The Lord is with YOU!


Could you imagine, I mean SERIOUSLY imagine, an angel appearing before you saying "The Lord is with you!"? I would be just as confused and FREAKED out (not just disturbed) as I can only think Mary was on that day.  These verses are pulled from the middle of the story and lose some context but the whole ideal is that she was trying to THINK what was meant instead of just relying on God's plan to RELAX and just walk quietly in HIS presence.  It is a very hard thing to do just that - BE STILL and QUIET...especially with all of the electronic devices buzzing around us. Computers, phones, tv's, coffee makers, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, etc....the list continues to grow; do we shut the all down and just enjoy the quietness? I love when the electricity goes out and I can enjoy the quietness as long as I can control how long it is out...but that is the whole thing...I need to relinquish control.

"Bow before ME as one who expects everything from his Savior. Let your soul keep silence before ME, however sad you feel your state to be. Be assured of this -- I will teach you how to pray." - A. Murray

I pray you have an amazing day! Remember YOU are beautiful/amazing and a child of the KING! Love you!
