Projects, a dream, and a lesson from Samson

Projects, a dream, and a lesson from Samson
I’ve been able to work on some fun projects over the last few months, so I thought I’d share a few, and also an exciting one in the works! I did this custom print for an adoptive family. The quote is by Fleur Conkling Heyliger. Our church’s women’s retreat this year was about being “fearfully and wonderfully made.” I created this image for our materials and promotions.     Friends of my sisters in Emerald Isle, NC are starting a...

Printable Scripture Coloring Page: John 1:12

Hi friends!  I have another memory verse printable coloring page for you! You can see them all here. You can ask your kids (or adults!) a few questions about this verse: What’s required of us to become children of God? (receive Him/believe on His name–remember that the faith to do this is a gift as Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us) What is the gift that we get from God? What does it mean that you get the right to become...

The P31 Case Study

I generally avoid Proverbs 31 and its ideal woman, do you? It conjurs up feelings of deficiency: No, I don’t wake up early–not willingly. My children don’t yet rise up and call me blessed (tired and frustrated maybe). I don’t sew very often. I don’t run a thriving business. I like to stay up late, but usually not to work. So when my pastor chose to preach a sermon on Proverbs 31 this past Mother’s Day Sunday, I was...

our greatest fears, unrealized

1 John 4:18: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”I am still thinking on 1 John 4 (see this previous post on fear) and listening to the No Longer Slaves song (have you sung it yet?). As I wrote last week, I struggle with all kinds of fears. I think the above verse digs a little deeper into our hearts and...

No room for fear

My middle daughter has had stitches to her cheek from a fall into an open dresser drawer, a chipped a tooth, and a staple to her head from spinning into the coffee table–all in the last year. Now, every bump and cry makes my heart jump. Last week she ran out alone across a parking lot, ignoring our instructions to stop. No cars were coming but I relived that scene over later, thinking of the big truck that may...
