Feminine Friday

Hello beautiful ladies of Christ! We are here to link up and show our femininity and modesty for Christ. I hope that you link up your post or pics today and join us.


I have been on my journey for femininity and modesty for a while now. I feel that Christ has really touched my heart concerning this issue. For me, I want to show Jesus not only with my inner man but with the outer man as well. After being transformed by the Holy Spirit, I have a work being done that is slowly shown through my outer man as well. My character, attitude and dress is changing as well. It is a beautiful experience to behold and I thank God for it.

What has your journey been like, concerning modesty?

Personalized wreaths

I've been so busy decking the halls this season. I almost forgot to post what I've been up to. But alas I do have some Christmas sheer to share. Here is one of the Christmas projects I've finished. Yayyyy me!!!

I started with last years ribbon, a dollar tree wreath and letters from Walmart sprayed with left over copper paint from my fall decor


I looped the ribbon over the wreath


This is how it looks up close, hung on my wall


Here is the whole display



For about four dollars, $1 each for the wreaths from Dollar Tree, and $1 each for the letters from Walmart. I have a cute and simple way to personalize our Christmas!

Roadside cabinet redo

Here is a roadside find that we had tucked away in storage. I decided as an early Christmas present to myself I'd revamp it just for me. I turned it into a useful storage cabinet/island for my kitchen. The best part is it came with wheels when we found it.

(This is what I had to work with)


(I started with 2 cans of black paint)



(And there she is in all her glory)




This project cost me less than $5. Two cans of black paint for .97 and 1.17 for each knob at Lowes. Now I have extra storage for all my baking items and small appliances. And with a big family, we just "LOVE" extra storage!! This is what works for me.

Greed

Did you know that you can actually have greed, even though you haven't spent any thing. Greed starts in the wanting, long before you receive. If you spend your time wanting bigger and better, then you are showing greed. Be blessed with what God has given you already. Take pleasure in the things that are worth far more than new money and material things. God, Love, Laughter, Family, Friends, etc...

Have you ever taken the time to differentiate between what you want and what you need? Needs are necessities, whereas wants are anything above that. For instance you need, water, food, shelter, clothing, etc... You want the latest phone even though you have a perfectly good one already, a newer vehicle, when the one you have still runs very good. Yet another game system because it's the next big item this year. etc...

Christ gave more than He received. I'm working on having a heart more after Him. My focus is going to be more about celebrating what I have, instead of coveting what I wish I had.

Week in Review / 6 Words

I have been pretty busy this week and probably will be until the season is over. So, I just haven't had the time to post a lot this week. I want to enjoy time with my family. But I will post what I've been decorating thus far and our activities.

Thankful Thursday

Feminine Friday








My six words are:

I'm so sick, I could die!!!

I've had some sort of bug lately that really has me down. I hope I feel better soon so I can continue decking the halls...falalalalalalalala
