O Taste and See...Cricut Project 1

    
    For Christmas I got a Cricut (mine is actually a pretty blue color, and didn't cost that much!).  As soon as I knew that I was getting one, I knew what my first project would be.  I think I've mention on my blog before that my plan is to have scripture verses displayed in every room of the house.  I decided to start with the kitchen and this verse:


                    O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

                                   Psalm 34:8

    I wanted the verse to scroll around the top of my cabinets.   I used black vinyl and the storybook font cartilage.  The chandelier in the dining room (which joins the kitchen) is black so I plan on using black accents in these two rooms. The end results....

By the way, I took these pictures completely in the manual mode on my camera. :)


I'm linking up to the Sundae Scoop at I love nap time.

And

What am I saying? What am I thinking?

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Sunday Scriptures

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
--Psalm 91:4

My Cape is Torn

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

--Psalm 34:18

During my blogging break I've missed some Sunday's Scriptures. Missing doesn't mean God's word has become any less precious to me. I've been too preoccupied to share. However, there are times when God moves in ways that you can't even speak of that are too great not to share. He's doing that for me now. So many times I try to live my life in the "super" lane. Trying to wear all my hats while wearing the super girl cape also. As I run around (similar to a chicken with it's head cut off), it doesn't take me long to realize that in myself I'm far from super. It doesn't take long before I fall flat on my face and realize that I can't do it....any of it....without his strength.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1-2

Sunday's Scriptures and a Note

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Psalm 62:6-8


I know...I know....add my name to the list of LOSER/SLACKER bloggers. I took an unannounced/unexpected blogging break. I certainly had my reasons. Sometimes God just wants us to be still and listen, and lean on him. Sometimes we just need to survey whats really important in our lives and enjoy those things. Sometimes we are just really uninspired! Sometimes we are hurt and need healing time. Sometime we are drowning in crazyness and need all our strength to just float.

I hesitate to make the promise that I'll do better. But that's the plan.

For now just know...I am alive, well, and kicking.

Sunday's Scriptures

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

--Psalm 18:46

Sunday's Scriptures

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

--Psalm 103:13

Still alive.....B.U.S.Y!!!!!!!!

A dear friend pointed out that this week was the first week I didn't update my blog with a scripture verse on Sunday. Even though she proceeded to accuse my lack of blogging to wanting to leave mom's contest post at the top (which I still know no details about where she stands in the contest), this is not so. I have been incredibly, wildly busy. I could fill your ears with all my projects, ideas, dvd making, workshop happenings, craft explorations, and etc. etc.....but I won't. Frankly, I hate when people do that....I mean, really....we are all busy. Get over it.

Just know I will be writing soon. I have somethings I'm itching to share...Until then, this one's for you Carly....

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

--Psalm 119:165

Nanny's Funeral

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

--Psalm 116:15

It's been such a hard week. I don't know of a time that I've ever been more physically and emotionally tired. Nanny's funeral was last night. For those of you who attended I think you'd agree that it really honored the Lord. It was such a blessing. It was what nanny would have wanted. The burial will be this morning.

Thanks for all the prayers on behave of my family and my mom. I'm praying that God will do great things during this trying time in our lives.

Sunday's Scriptures--My Strength

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
--Psalm 18:2


It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
--Psalm 18:32



Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
--Psalm 19:14


The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
--Psalm 27:1


The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
--Psalm 28:7

What's on my mind....

Here I sit blogging because I feel like that's what any good blogger would do with a moment of spare time while I wait on my curling iron to heat up. It has been a busy busy week and is going to be a busy busy weekend! We had revival this week with Bro. Wayne Sexton. Between that and running to Nashville on Monday, I've been worn out.

Revival was really good especially last night. He preached about what to do during the night seasons of our lives. He used the verse in Acts, where Paul and Silas where in Jail.

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Acts 16:25

Some truths he shared:

• The night season is not a time of idleness.
• Too often in the night we lose our song.
• Paul and Silas stayed focused on the Lord's work.
• Paul and Silas focused on someone in a worse condition than them (the jailor who was ready to kill himself).
• Paul and Silas prayed and sang praise.

Simple lessons that I've known since I was a child, but it is still such a blessing to be reminded of these things and to refocus my attention to what's important.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Psalm 86:7

The Lord is Good

I’ve been thinking about how’s God’s been working in our lives. He is truly good, while I’m completely unworthy.

O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 107:1

I stand in awe at his power, and want to draw closer to know him better. I can’t understand how people can make it without the Lord. He has really manifested himself in my life recently. For example, today at school I prayed about a decision I needed to make and within 5 minutes I had perfect peace about it.

He is really working in the situation with mom. It is truly amazing:

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 150:6

God is my rock! (Sunday's Scriptures)

I'm a little late on posting my normal sunday's scriptures....well actually I'm really late. It's been a long long day (more about that later). Plus I was in personal need of the right scriptures. I'm so glad God is our rock and we can run to him and his word in times of trouble.


For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
--Psalm 27:5


For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
--Psalm 31:3



He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
--Psalm 62:2



He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
--Psalm 62:6


In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
--Psalm 62:7

Sunday's Scriptures

I'm glad it's Sunday!


I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
--Psalm 122:1

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
--Hebrews 10:25

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
--Psalm 27:4

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
--Psalm 26:8

Sunday's Scriptures

8--The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9--He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10--He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11--For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12--As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13--Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14--For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15--As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16--For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17--But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18--To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

--Psalm 103:8-18
