Sew Sow.

Believe me. I am working on my blogging skills. You think

mine is snazzy... check out my friend Audrey's beauty.

Now that girl is witty, crafty, AND loves me unconditionally. If you know anything about what the Lord has redeemed in me that is a real big deal. Mmkay.

With Visions on the mind and the upcoming New Year's goodness, this girl...

...has had quite the month. I mean seriously. God is so good guys. He continues to show me more of who He is and How big and mighty His ways. And guess what? Shocker. His ways are higher than mine.

Understand this friends, if you fix your eyes on the Creator He will lead you to your place.

YOUR PLACE.

For years I searched for my place. From drinking, lying, cheating, stealing, sexing it up, a failed marriage from California to Missouri and back again.

Yep, I just totally called myself out.

Know why I can say it so boldly? FRIEND I've been washed by the blood.

I've been set free.

I'm just learning to trust. Now listen, I can pull up Kyler and Hayden's baby pictures and cry. Hard.

But I pull myself together, and I claim the blood over my babies and tell satan what a big stupid loser he is and

 guess what?

My God says "I will RESTORE the years the locusts have eaten"

RESTORE.

Thats what Jesus is all about.

And as I learn this blogging thing. May you just get to know more of my heart.

I'll even get better at picasa along the way...

But this is my heart. That you seek the Lord.

My prayer is that my life changes and impacts others.

I want to share the gospel.

Period.

Let the earth's Master Craftsman guide your steps.

Believe in His Mercy. Lean on His Grace.

 Daily I count on His perfection of my life.

 I choose joy.

Joyful. Confident. Expectation.

We have a covenant with Him. He is meeting ALL our needs.

 He's drawing us to Himself.

Jeremiah 31.3 He tells us..

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you."

He doesn't just say I will love you.. He says I will love you forever. " I am drawing you to myself."

That verse has just stuck out to me. He's such a personal God. 

Reminding myself daily.

It is discipline, because there is work for us to do. It is grace because the life of God which we enter into is a gift that we can never earn... discipline in and of itself does not make us righteous, it merely places us before God..

(The transformation is God's work)

Seriously, that's like a re-reminder for me. Read the Word friends. It will CHANGE you.

You don't have to do the Work.

The Word does the work.

Try it, its like an unlimited time offer.

What else are you going to do watch American Idol?

Pretty sure most of America has tivo anyway..

So.. do it. to it.

I'll wrap this bad boy up so be patient with me as I journey through out this blogging adventure.

(I totally dig sharing my heart with you p.s.)

Working on getting more pictures..

Can I get a Hallelujah?

Goal: Learn to be more crafty & sew.

Whammy.
