What’s all the buzz? A strength-builder is on the way! #TheConvoLab #ComingSoon
“28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
…all week long – hands down!!! LOL🤣 Look at this absolutely glorious apple crisp, smell the cinnamon wafting through the air, taste that brown sugar…yes, Fall is officially HERE!🍁🍂
Granted, I’ll admit this is a deconstruction of my sugar-free oatmeal breakfast earlier this week, but I figured that this Thursday night deserved a treat like apple crisp, so I went for it! Sooo glad I did…dessert perfection!😋 #NoRegrets #UNapologetic #JudgmentFreeZone #BakedInJoy #AppleEqualsFruit 🍎
Hubby & I polished off 1/3 of this while still hot outta the oven😋…2 years till empty nest…but who’s counting?😯🤔😏 Ha ha ha!
Happy Fri-YAY, y’all!!!😊🥳
“Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.”
So I’ve been feelin’ pretty crafty lately…and my newest fascination is vinyl wall transfers (better late to the party than never, right?!) LOL
The Frugal Frannie in me couldn’t pass up the “bless our home” sign sporting the big red markdown sticker – OVER 50% off…SCORE! Imagine my horrific chagrin when I discovered – after watching a YouTube tutorial on proper application techniques, following the directions, and being ready to create my amateur masterpiece – the sign in the container did NOT match the package. It said, “less our home.”
In this harvest season, I am focused on setting an atmosphere of abundance and gratitude, so this incomplete sale item posed a philosophical quandary. Determined to make it work, I took the flourish that was to go at the bottom of the phrase, turned it sideways, and posited, “If I can make that curlicue look like the letter B and place it properly, I may be able to pull this off without a comprehension faux pas.”
So whaddya think – did I succeed in making lemonade from the lemons I was handed in that tightly sealed and unpreviewable container?
I think my improvisation is another lovely (& budget-friendly) addition to my Laundry Room spruce-up…works for me!😉👍🏼
What little things are bringing you joy this week? I’d love for you to drop me a comment to share…
“Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
TRUTH is one size fits ALL. So what are YOU wearing today? #Selah #SelfCheck
“For there is no respect of persons with God.”
(Romans 2:11)
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
YES is also a complete sentence! I’m learning that I don’t always have to justify or explain myself. Most folks just aren’t that interested in our reasons or in our reasoning. So free yourself and keep it movin’ with the joy of the Lord! We can say YES with a smile and the love of Christ! #PermissionGranted#ButIWasACommunicationsMajor #SouthernBelle
“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
It took me decades (literally) to learn this lesson, but when I finally internalized it, I was empowered: NO is a complete sentence.#unapologetic #ButIWasACommunicationsMajor
If you’re honest with yourself, you probably can’t count the times you’ve SAID one thing with your mouth, but really felt a different way on the inside. Or am I really the only one?!? Today, let’s walk in the light of TRUTH and cut out the inner conflict, guilt, remorse, resentment, and angst. We can say NO with the love of Christ! #PermissionGranted
“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one”
Once more for good measure; I’m saying it a third time until we EMBRACE it for ourselves…
Sometimes we say YES to ourselves by saying NO to something (or someone) else. Conversely, sometimes we say NO to ourselves by saying YES to something (or someone) else. #Simplify&Streamline
“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.”
Nope, you’re not seeing double; I’m saying it AGAIN until we believe it for ourselves…
