Scripture For Every Need

I wish I knew what you were going through today. If I knew what difficulties you're facing, I'd know how to pray better for you this week. If we could talk for just a bit, I could learn more, understand more, and pray with you for just what you need.

Instead, I'll tell you some of the same things I'd tell you if we were together. These are the Scriptures I would share with you when you shared your struggles with me. I may not be able to make any of them better, but I can lead you to the God who can!

If you're battling an enemy this week, read Psalm 37:40.

If you struggle with loneliness, read Genesis 28:15.

If you need physical or spiritual protection, read Proverbs 18:10.

If you just want to be a blessing to the women around you, read Titus 2:4-5.

If pride has reared its ugly head, read Proverbs 28:25-26.

If laziness has crept in, read 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.

If you're having trouble forgiving, read Matthew 5:44-45.

If all you need is peace, read John 14:27.

If gossip is an issue, read Proverbs 26:20-22.

If you're seeking comfort in an uncomfortable situation, read Psalm 46:1-3.

If you're fighting shame, read 2 Timothy 1:12.

If all hope seems lost, read Psalm 42:11.

If you just want to run and hide, read Psalm 32:7.

If you've lost your motivation, read 1 Corinthians 10:31.

If prayer has become a burden, read 1 John 5:14-15.

If you just want a deeper love for God's word, read Hebrews 4:12.

My prayer is that you will find Scripture that fills all your needs this week and that you will cling to it with all your strength. Please know that I am on my knees with you and asking God to lift you up in everything you're facing.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

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...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
