Just excited:)

Hello:) So God has been really laying things on my heart. My heart has been on overload, if that makes sense. I really don't know where to start... First I want to say I love how God talks to me. I love that even though I do not always get things "right" He is there to guide me. He does not and will not give up on me. He shows me that He has bigger plans for me, that I need to accept that. I need to walk in His plans for me. Confess what I know to be true and what I believe will be. Speak life into all situations and circumstances. I've ALWAYS known these things it's just refreshing when God reminds me;)

Every day we are called to die to our flesh in EVERY WAY- even in the smallest of things. To deny our fleshly wants and desires and to take on His. I will live this way. 

I recently read a blog that really inspired and encouraged me. She said that her motto at her house was "Do what you have to, then you can do what you want to do" (or something like that) Ah! SO good. Too often people do what they want to do- spend money on what they want- before they do what they HAVE and NEED to do. On one level of this- I believe keeping a tidy home is so important, not just because it speaks about who you are (which it does) but the act in itself is showing thanks to God. It is showing Him you are truly thankful for what He has blessed you with. I struggle with keeping our home clean because I get caught up in things I want to do before finishing what I need to do- I am transforming my mind... I am finding a balance of my priorities. So excited about these changes. I am excited that I will raise my kids to know that they should be thankful for what they have and show it through their actions.

On a crafting note;) I have recently finished two banners (along with cupcake toppers)- for a birthday and baby shower. I will be posting pictures soon- hopefully tonight. The baby shower one is the first one that I have ever been paid to do, which is VERY exciting! I have been making tons of fabric rosettes that I will be using on some of my projects in the near future. I have REALLY been itching to start on Christmas crafts!! So many decor and gift ideas floating in my head. Can't wait! It really is coming close to my favorite time of year- fall and winter! 

This is the banner!! Custom made to match the sweet boy's bedding:) So fun to make! Love that she trusted me to make this for her, hope it made her day extra special!
