The Powerful Message Of Some Christian Pens and Pencils

There are approximately 20,000 pens and pencils in my house right now. I've inherited a large collection that spans many decades, and I am absolutely in love with every single one of them. I'm a pencil and paper girl, for sure, so this is a dream come true.

They're divided between some wood boxes and a plethora of shoeboxes. I opened the very first box, a tiny pink shoebox, and I couldn't believe what was in it.

A collection of pens and pencils that share the Gospel!

The plan of salvation with bands of color. Black - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 Red - The blood of Jesus Christ ... cleanseth from all sin. 1 John 1:7 White - Wash me ... I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 Green - Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18 Gold - In my Father's house are many mansions. John 14:2

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

In God We Trust!

Welcome to our Sunday school. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. Psalm 32:8

I will rise again.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1

I love Jesus. Pursue Righteousness, faith, love, peace. 2 Timothy 2:22

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Jesus is my answer.

What may be the very first fidget spinner, with a red ring around the end. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

Cast thy bread upon the waters for thou shalt find it after many days.

With a business name and phone number: Whosoever shall call ... shall be saved. Romans 10:13

And my personal favorite had a sliding band around it with "Where to Find" written on it. As you spin the band, there are different topics and corresponding Bible verses. For example: The Abiding Chapter - John 15. Consecration Verse - Romans 12:9. Last Command - Acts 1:8. 

What a blessing to my heart to know that these churches, businesses and the people behind them were this dedicated to sharing the Gospel with everyone they interacted with. Now I have to decide which one to use first!

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
