The God Of All Creation

When we look the world around us with an eye to the Creator God, we can't help but stand in awe. It is impossible that the perfection of every detail could have happened with a bang or a microbe. All we have to do is adjust our focus and zoom in on the little things God has made.

The Spirit of God moved across the waters, ready to begin His creation.

With just a word, He brought light into being.

Our Lord made a special place in the firmament called Heaven.

He separated land from water as a home for the rest of His workmanship.

Each blade of grass was lovingly shaped and placed in the ground. Herbs and seeds and trees were planted and encouraged to grow in abundance.

The sun that wakes us up in the morning was placed in its rotation by the God of Light.

In the dark of night, God gives us the moon.

Imagine His joy as He began to fill the waters with creatures and the air with birds. These are just a glimpse of His creative nature.

Soon the earth was covered with beasts of every shape and size.

And then came God's pure and utter delight - a man and a woman. With these beautiful creations, the Lord would have fellowship and relationship with His creation in a way He never had before. It would be different with humans than it was with the earth or the animals. He had given them minds and hearts that would be tuned into Him, and Him alone.

As you go about your day, take a few minutes to notice the little things God has created around you. Look closely at a butterfly's wings. Examine the leaves on a tree as they change colors. Look into your pet's eyes. Hug your friends and family. Then praise the Lord for creating the most wonderful world imaginable.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
