My "Faith Can Move Mountains" Planner Layout

 Sometimes I need a reminder that a full calendar and a completed planner aren’t the most important parts of my life. That’s why my planner layout for this week is full of biblical truth and that nudge I often need to think about why I’m doing all these things and not just when and how I’ll be doing them.

New mercies every morning!
Give me Jesus.
Faith can move mountains.
You are a child of God.

The journal blocks on the left page of my spread are Ready to be filled with prayer requests, praises and just a few of the reasons I have to be thankful. I can’t wait to see it at the end of the week, to be able to look back at God’s blessings from the week and rejoice in how He moves.

For some reason, this planner has the food columns labeled Sunday through Saturday, while the days on the right are set up Monday through Sunday. I’m having to come up with some creative ways to change the food labels, or, in this case, hide them and write in my own. Next time I won’t use my own handwriting, but I still like this idea of coordinating the washi tape over both pages.
We weren’t able to meet for youth group last week because of the snow storm, so our lesson about discerning God’s voice and following His guidance is already done. And we’ll be playing Simon to get things started. Yes, I’m dating myself by knowing what that game is, but it will be a fun way to explain the positives and negatives of doing what God tells us to do.

And this week we start the book of Leviticus in our Through The Bible in a Year schedule. It’s not the easiest of books to read, but it has some amazing lessons in and amongst all those rules. Israel couldn’t just approach God whenever and however they wanted - but we can!

I pray you have an amazing week. I’m ready to tackle mine with the word of God!

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
