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!

I Love You~

Love. A powerful word. Described as a noun and a verb. It is also described as an emotion or feeling but it reaches so much more. When I think of love, I think of the actions that are exhibited toward others with out being asked or requested as if they were second nature.
No need for gofundme accounts, or petitions. Not that these things are not good but with SOCIAL MEDIA we are bombarded with so many requests for LOVE in so many ways that many times WE (I) shut down, close my heart, ignore, skip, by pass, etc. these requests.
It isn't because we don't care. It is because we are over saturated with these requests that sometimes we can't figure out which are true needs and which are GREEDY and undeserving (by OUR checklists).
I pray that God softens our hearts to show love and be love to our neighbors. NOT just in lip service by saying I love you but by doing something (no matter how small) for them. 
May my actions reflect YOUR words on my heart!
Love you all (yes It sounds so.....drained...now.)
