A Room for Crafting and a Closet of Craziness
A few years ago, we changed a guest bedroom into my craft and sewing room. I’ve really enjoyed being able to go in and create and then leave it until I’m finished. No more putting the sewing machine away even if I were in the middle of a project. I think one of my favorite things about this craft room is when our grand kiddos are here and they can go in and create all kinds of things. I try to keep supplies on hand that they can just help themselves to. I loved the time I got to teach…
My Favorite Things-From Eyelashes to Precious Moments
Hi Friends! I hope all is going well and you had a great weekend! Today, I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things! In case you haven’t noticed, I have so many favorite things! When I began using Pinterest , I had no idea how to label each board. I ended up giving each board the title “iLove_____,” simply because, I do love so many different things. If you don’t follow me on Pinterest, I would love for you to do so. I have to limit my time when pinning, one thing leads to another and…
5 Year Anniversary with Compassion
I just reached my five year anniversary in sponsoring a child through Compassion International. When I first began sponsoring a little girl in Guatemala, she was only 5 years old. I do have dreams of going to her country and meeting her some day. I have never really had a desire to go to Guatemala, so it will really be waaaaaay out of the box for me. For now, I will continue to support her with my monthly support and letters. Speaking of letters; I love receiving her letters and seeing her drawings while reading what is on her heart….
Movie Review – The Champion
I love a good movie, don’t you? I especially love watching a good faith based movie. I was so excited to get to preview the new movie, The Champion. This movie will be in theaters on May 19, 2017. I do hope you go see it. I do my best to get to the theaters when a faith based movie comes out; number one, to support it and number two, because I hope to be inspired and encouraged in my walk with Christ. How refreshing it is to be able to watch a movie without bad language that…
10 Ways to Become a Woman of Influence
Have you thought of building friendships with the ladies that serve with your in your church? As a pastor’s wife, you have a group of ladies around you that are hungry to learn from you and most of all, to have a friend that loves them and prays for them. I thought I would share some of my ideas in beginning a ministry with these ladies. I would have loved to have had this in my life when we were in full-time ministry. Get together once a month for lunch and use this time to get to know one another…
The Glass House Can Get Messy!
After being in full time ministry alongside my husband for two decades of our marriage, I discovered that yes, being a pastor’s wife is a lonely place to be. At least that is how it was when we served. During our time, money was extremely tight, we never had any extra money for anything outside of the basic needs. I really didn’t mind living that way. I never really thought about it much; I just knew that this was our calling and I was at peace with that. My focus was on my home and family. There were few times…
