Some Creative Inspiration Needed

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I'm thankful for so many things, one of the biggest is you :)

I've been working on creating my office / craft room for the few last weeks. I PROMISE I'll post tons of pictures. I have one wall that has book cases and it just needs something. I then thought what if I put up an inspirational quote, bible verse, or word. So ladies, if you wouldn't mind sharing I'd love some ideas. I plan on ordering those vinyl wall words so the more the merrier. They come in all sizes so I have plenty of room for all.

Looking forward to any suggestions, thanks in advance!

Lots of Love

For this is the day the Lord has made...

Today I was Baptised. I also joined my church. I am not the same girl who found a blog a year ago. I am who God intended me to be. I'm not sure what lays ahead, however I know I will never take another step without The Lord by my side again. Thank you all for your kind words and inspiration the last year. I would not have gotten to this beautiful, amazing place without you!

Love to All...

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Oh What a Feeling!

So, tonight was my second meeting and not only did I decide to join the Church I am going to be Baptised right before joining. I was never Baptised as a child and I'm almost glad. This feels like to right time. I'm so happy and peaceful. I feel full of grace and overwhelming love for The Lord. I'm so excited for my big day. It will be Sunday November 22nd. I think I may get myself a cross, I haven't had one since I was a little girl. Thank you for all of your kind words, support and love. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Much love to all :)

Me... A New Member?!?!?

If you had told me last November, before I stumbled upon Sibi at Pearls and Grace, that tonight I would be going to a meeting at my Pastor's home to meet with her about becoming a member I would have laughed. Me?, no way. It's not that I didn't believe in God it's just that I did not think he was on my side. I was at the end of my relationship with Mr. Ex, living alone at that point in a one bedroom apartment and just very sad. I was so alone and I came across her blog and nothing has been the same.

In January I started my blog and posted how I was scared to go to church, sit alone, be judged, etc. It took me a few months but I found a great one. I feel so warm and at home when I am there. I feel the Lord sitting with me in the pew. He now leaves with me and is by my side always. Last November I never would have thought that. I am so truly blessed that He opened my eyes and heart to Him. I never would have made it this Summer with out Him.

So, I'm off to a meeting tonight for part one and next Sunday is part two. I am so thankful for every comment I've received since January. You have been my support system. Tonight is a good night for all of us :)

Thought I would share a little something from my Church's program this morning. I don't know where it comes from, if anyone does please let me know.

Love to all

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS:
There is no chasm that cannot be bridged, no mistake that cannot be forgive, no life that cannot be redeemed by the grace of God in Christ Jesus! Putting our confidence in the mercies of God, we know we are forgiven. The slate is wiped clean and we are given new life, Thanks be to You, O Lord, who makes all things new!

Letting Go...

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
-- Leo Buscaglia

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.
-- Anon

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.
-- Joseph Campbell

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
-- Lao Tzu

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4:16

"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:12

Can I make these?

Ok, 2 posts in one day and I have 20 followers... I'm on top of the world!!!

So, how cute are these shoes from JCr*w, but way to pricey. So, I know I have some talented bloggy friends, can I make these? Can I get plain ballet flats and glue or pin a velvet flower on them. I guess the only way to know is just to do it. Have any of you ever attempted???

Thanks and have a great night!

Peace

I just had a conversation with my "self imposed enemy" or Mr Ex as he has been referred to on this blog. It was the most peaceful and caring conversation we have had in months. I feel like I've sabotaged myself in so many ways and I can now see that. I hope this means I'm starting to come out the other side. I completely believe that He has all the pain now and is dealing with it. I've read some amazing posts lately and I think it's time to discover my truth's. I've been lied to so many times and now I see that I've lied to myself for so long. Isn't it ironic that one can be in so much pain and when you come out of it you realize that you were the cause of some of it? The thoughts I allowed myself to think were self destructive. The things I believed about myself... I would never speak to a friend the way I spoke to myself. I now see that I am my friend and that The Lord is my best friend and that if I trust in Him the possibilities are endless.

All I can say is I am on the road to recovery and after today I've picked up some speed and my hair is flying in the breeze. Someday I'll take flight!!!

Much love to all of you
