Word Art Wednesday#58
~God will take care of you~



 If there is one thing my family has had practice with,



it's saying good bye and starting fresh.



Military life stretches those muscles for sure!



However,



 I AM BLESSED!



Blessed with smaller moments that have taught me many lessons.

Through my dear friends I have learned...

to be loving toward my husband (L friend)...

the power of God through prayer (V friend)....

that the JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH (J friend)...

to be strong...to try it and step forward in faith...to have fun!!! (S family)

to create and give...to laugh at myself...not to take myself SO SERIOUSLY that I get discouraged (S friend)

to be faithful and seek Him...to read my Bible...to connect with others (C family)

to go to Jesus in the first place...to accept Him in my life and ask Him for forgiveness (D friend)

ALL, ALL ALL are precious to me and there are more more more...

I've learned to be REAL (another L friend)


and to love until it hurts (B family).

See what I mean?


I may have had to say goodbye in the flesh to these awesome friends and families...but in the spirit...



my mind and heart are filled with memories and laughter...and love for the friends God has given me, is giving me and will give me.



There is a party in my heart...with room for all the friends that



 represent snippets of HIM and what He wants me to learn.



God takes care of me and He will take care of you...no matter where you go or who you are with.

~Paper Knots Tag~

Word Art Wednesday: Giving/Anything Goes

I can't imagine a greater gift...than opening your home to a child.

I have not had the honor or calling yet...but I know a handful that have dedicated their lives in this special way.

I want to be ready when another couple takes that big step.

For this tag,

I experimented with paper shreds...after being inspired by 

Tracey Sabella's lovely use of denim shreds here.

I thought, why not try knotting up paper remnants???

It worked like a charm with glossy accents.
