Let’s Support an Adoption!

October 22, 2009

When I started my Etsy shop, it was honestly just to prove to myself that I could do it. I wasn’t sure I could keep it stocked, and I wasn’t planning to spend much time marketing it.

A few weeks ago, I asked a question on twitter and facebook:
Pondering…how can God use artists to meet real [...]

Expression Through Written Words – A Thread

October 20, 2009

I think best through writing. I always have.
If I want to process something in my life I write. If I want to talk to God with any sort of focus, I write. If I want to dream or question or plan, I write.
I can remember taking creative writing in 4-H in my teen years. I [...]

Baby Doll

October 19, 2009

Right before we moved I finished a baby doll for my friend Nicole who is pregnant. The doll is for her baby girl who will be born in the very near future!

The baby’s bedroom colors are light pink and brown, so I tried to make a doll that would work well in her room. Thanks [...]

I Am Writing A Novel.

October 15, 2009

I think things happen for a reason. Take for instance Andrea commenting on my blog and then me going to her blog to learn more about her. Which of course lead to me reading about the novel writing contest. And would you believe I’ve been feeling this whisper from God to be writing a book? [...]

Comparing – Wisdom from Children’s Books

October 14, 2009

I found myself in the middle of a teaching moment with my daughter yesterday. She was frustrated with a drawing that wasn’t turning out like she had planned. She threw her marker down in a fit of rage and sunk into her chair.
As I explained to her about how sad our lives are when we [...]

Crazy Love Thoughts

October 13, 2009

Some thoughts I jotted down after reading the book Crazy Love.
—–
It’s not just about God’s crazy love for us. It’s also about our response to Him. A response that stems out of our love for what He’s done/is doing for us. A response that seems a little crazy.
Is anyone questioning my actions? Does anyone think [...]

My Spiritual Core

October 10, 2009

I don’t know how I missed it. I played sports from junior high all the way through college. Surely at some point I should have grasped the extreme importance of strengthening my core. But somehow it passed me by, and only recently have I come to understand, appreciate and attempt to work on the strength [...]

Adding to the Already Made

October 8, 2009

I had already been thinking about making my sister an apron for her birthday, but wasn’t looking forward to all the time I would spend on it. (No, that’s not a picture of my sister. It’s my daughter modeling the apron.) My windows of time are so limited that I knew it would take me [...]

We’ve Moved

October 5, 2009

We’re in a new home and trying to get settled. After a series of events we decided it was best to rent again and not buy a magical home. Instead we’re bringing our own magic to this place as we work on getting settled.
I’m excited about blogging/writing again. I’ve been missing it. Just wanted to [...]

Taking a Break

August 25, 2009

I am strategically taking a break from blogging for a while. I think probably the whole month of September. I need all my energy and time to be focused this month on family. We have a lot of decisions to make, a lot of honing our rhythm of life, a lot of figuring out what [...]
