Don’t Even Think About Giving Up

What you’re going through right now may be overwhelming.

It may be emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually exhausting.

It may seem unbeatable, insurmountable, unavoidable and impassable.

But this moment in your life is just that - a moment. It is huge right now, I would never downplay that, but you have so much going for you.

Don’t you dare give up.


God can see you through the storm. You just need to hold on. 

From God’s perspective, this moment has been placed here for a reason, and He’s going to give you everything you need to be victorious.

Not just get through it or barely survive. Defeat in such a way that all you can do is praise God for winning this battle for you.

He will give you the strength to hold, so don’t give up.

He will be with you every step of the way, so don’t give up.

He will turn this test into a powerful part of your testimony, so don’t give up.

He will bring you through stronger, more focused and more trusting that you were before, so don’t give up.

It’s painful and uncomfortable now, but don’t even think about giving up. God is going to see you through 

I’m cheering you on, and I can guarantee you God is in your corner, too. He’s waiting for you to let Him guide you through this storm and place you exactly where He wants you.

So don’t give up. The best is yet to come.

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
