Why I Wear My Faith


I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, Paul wrote at the beginning of his letter to the church at Rome. That verse has always been close to my heart, and I pray that the jewelry I wear will be a testimony of my faith and a conversation starter with someone unfamiliar with these Scriptures and phrases. Here are just a few of my favorites.


Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 40:10 - For the days that I'm so hurried and rushed and need the reminder to slow it all down.
Let your faith be stronger than your fear. - Anything resembling fear comes from the enemy, not from God.
Be patient, gentle, humble, loving. Ephesians 4:2-3 - In this world where you can be anything, be this.
Pray. - So simple, but I need to pray every time I glance down at my hand and see that word.
Crosses - EMPTY crosses because my Savior is in heaven, seated at the right hand of God!
I am blessed. - How often I need to count my many blessings, ton by ton.
Love never fails. - Never. Ever. At no time. Nor will it.


I have loved you with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 31:3 - God has been showering me with love verses recently.
Blessed. - Beyond measure and exceeding abundantly above.
Tears in God's bottle. Psalm 56:8 - He has a record of every single tear I have ever shed, they touch His heart and He reaches out to me in comfort every time.
Let all that you do be done in love. - The right motivation behind everything we do.
Faith over fear. - I have given my heart to the God who is greater than anything I might be afraid of.


She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31:25 - One of my favorite Scriptures, reminding me that in the Lord I have all the strength I need for whatever He allows into my life.
Faith can move mountains. Matthew 17:20 - Don't tell God how big your mountains are. Tell your mountains how big your God is!
Daughter of the King. Galatians 3:26 - I'm so glad I'm part of the family of God, so I'm going to straighten my crown and represent Him well.


Be strong and courageous. Joshua 1:9 - My strength and courage come from God alone, and I will wear them as armor in this battle.
Saved by grace. - There's nothing special about me. I'm just a sinner saved by grace, and I thank the Lord for that every day.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 - I am weak, but He is strong. I turn to Him for all my strength because His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
What are your favorite pieces of jewelry that share your faith?

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
