Let the Holiday Fun Begin!

It's that time of year! Time for holiday fun! This year I decided to make tags! This one is not quite done. I have yet to attach a bow because the dots are still drying on his name. What projects are you looking forward to? This was made using Cuttin' Up and the Cricut Create (yep, I'm still using the baby bug). I cut the dollar bill using Cartoon Shadow mode and fit to page, then I cut a slightly smaller in white. I used my Fiskar's rotatry trimmer to trim the "ribbon" from the same paper I cut his name from. I used the regular font for his name and then cut it at about 3 inches (I think). I attached them all using Tacky Glue and then red stickles for the dots. Have fun!

Over the last week, I, myself have pondered what I was made for.  I realized that I had made it through college and done great, but I didn't feel like I had accomplished much because I still have my national exam to take.  I allowed the enemy to get in and plant that seed of self doubt. I hadn't gone walking, let alone had time alone with the Lord in a while because I allowed life to get in the way.  It was something I am not happy about, but it happened.  So this morning I went on a walk and had worship time with the Lord at the same time.  On my walk, He revealed a few things to me. 1.  YOU WERE MADE FOR MORE THAN ORDINARY-- As I began my walk, I hadn't even gotten 1 lap around my neighborhood before the Lord had b

Seasons in our lives

"There is a time for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."  Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Over the years, at certain times of my life, the Lord brings this passage to the forefront of my mind.  He has done that once again.  Having recently finished my Associate's Degree, the Lord is starting to stir in me once again.  He is telling me that there is a time for everything.  I just feel l
