"Preach always, if necessary use words." - St. Francis Assisi One of the easiest ways to reach someone with the love of Christ is to be like Him. What was He like? In the Word, He describes Himself as 'servant of all'. If we would take the time to serve those around us, it makes it possible for them to see the love of God in us. It makes Him real. In this second message of the series we'll look at what it means to SERVE. No Words Necessary II - Sunday Burquest from Living Word … [Read more...]
One of my goals this year (I know it's March, but hey I'm a little slow these days) is to learn to eat healthier. I can do Weight Watchers, I know how to cut calories and eat good, but I'm talking about taking it up a notch - actually more than a notch! For me one of the best ways to learn is from a friend. Today I'd like to introduce my friend, Sarah Haglund and her new blog: Life With Greens. I know you'll love her as much as I do, did I mention she's as sweet as apple pie? Hi, I'm Sarah … [Read more...]

The Word tells us to 'fight the good fight of faith' and we need to be prepared for it. Not only does the Bible tell us to fight, but … [Read more...]

{Thankful} The definition of thankful is: conscious of a benefit received. As I think about the benefits I've received over the past couple of years it brings tears to my eyes. Of course I'm thankful my husband and I both work in ministry, we have amazing kids and a home. However, today I am thankful for life. January 4th, 2011 my husband was hospitalized for blood clots in his lungs. Unexpectedly they discovered a large clot in a hole in his heart (that we didn't know he had). The … [Read more...]
I have a confession to make: I love The Dollar Tree! I've been making frequent visits help me with my holiday decorating. Last month, I created a Fall Centerpiece with items I found at The Dollar Tree and it turned out beautiful! {Fall Centerpiece} Today I"m going to share my Holiday version! Step #1: Every centerpiece needs a 'base'. Either a platter, box, or something to hold your items in. Just like I did for my fall centerpiece, I used an old metal drawer I found in my garage. For this … [Read more...]

I love this little table, it's adorable. Funny thing is I can't quite decide what it should be - a beautiful sofa table or a gorgeous little vanity. I've recently started using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on a few small projects and this is one of them. Maybe after seeing the transformation you could give me your opinion; sofa table or vanity? {Before Table} The main reason I can't decide is because it opens with a mirror. If I used it as a sofa table, I would open it when I have people over … [Read more...]
