Just Be Still...and Inspired!



BE STILL, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. -Psalm 46:10


Hello friends! I won a pick of my favorite vinyl letter from Up Words and On Words and I was SO EXCITED! I love visual reminders to be positive and to stay centered on God so I picked 'Just Be Still'. This was the topic at the Women's Retreat for our church last year. This was my first time going. I didn't know anyone there but still had a great time! It was the first time that I was away from my babies so I got some GOOD sleep! But you know I missed them so! :)
Anyway lol, here is my prize!



I love it! 
It reminds me to sit down and just breathe and remember that God is in control!
Be sure to check Up Words and On Words for inspirational vinyl lettering and decor!

Many blessings!

Praise and Worship Because I am Grateful!

Happy Monday everyone!
What a beautiful start to my week! I mentioned in a previous post about my love for music!
Well, I had a bit of a 'test' last week which prompted me to go to God and pray. I was in need of a spiritual atmosphere, so I went on youtube and searched a few songs. Below are a few that I found.
I LOVE these songs! They really put things into perspective and remind me of the connection I want to maintain with God. Enjoy! :)



I may start doing these once a week too...hmmm...

Create You Heart Out and Change Your Life!

Happy Wonderful Wednesday everyone!

I hope you are having a blessed week and helping others do the same as well!

I have been busy taking care of the little ones and putting more house work into my schedule....I kinda HATE it lol! 
But it feels good when I am done so looks like there is time to make a CHANGE!
I really want things to change in my personal and business life so there are definitely some changes that need to be made...
more exercise...
not staying on the computer so long...
drinking more water...and the list goes on!

I can't keep doing the same things and expecting the same results.
They say that is called INSANITY!
So time for me to get some more sanity into my life!

I have so many pieces to add to the site...
but that stuff takes time so I have been a little slow on that...smh.

Well here is a new piece that I did add! 
You know I am ALL about creating! After all, I am an artist of sorts myself! lol





These beauties hang 10 inches long
I get so many compliments on them because they stand out!

I am still working on my photos...I really would like a new camera! Lol.
Maybe after more sales! ;)

Enjoy your hump day loves!

Inspirational Find! Hate the Sin...

Happy Magnificent Monday!


Having an inspirational jewelry page on facebook, I am always looking for others who make inspirational apparel as well! A while back someone recommended JCLU Forever to me. When I went to their page I saw some beautiful shirts and have been keeping an eye on their posts ever since! The other day they posted one of their new shirts and it REALLY touched me! I may have to get this one! The description on the site is as follows:



HATE THE SIN LOVE THE SINNER
Most of our shirts are designed to give a message to the those who don't know Jesus. The message on this shirt is for us; Christians,believers, followers of Christ. 
Jesus may not have actually said this but this is the way He lived.....


I LOVE THIS SHIRT!!! lol

This saying reminds me to love and forgive others when they act negatively towards myself or others. 
After all, God loves us despite our sin!

You can find JCLU Forever on facebook HERE
On twitter Here
And their website Here

If you are looking for unique inspirational shirts, I would definitely check them out!

Hope you enjoyed my inspirational find for the week! Many more to come!
