Truly Beautiful


What is truly beautiful today is that God's mercy abounds!  It's always a little painful to pull the blooms from the plant, because their life span is bloom to fade.  It seems though each time I pluck them and arrange a bouquet in thanksgiving - God provides triple the blooms.  I have never seen anything like it!  I now have 16 blooms on my plant ready to spring forth into a shape and form of beauty.

The more our flesh dies, the more we bring forth the beauty that God intended.

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires  Romans 8:5.

Richness

Richness To be rich is not what you have in your bank account.  It's what you have in your heart.  The hand of a child, the cuddle of a newborn, the memories of a loved one, a hug from your spouse, the kiss of a child, a bear hug from grandma, moments of richness.  In fact priceless!   Time with a friend.  I was talking yesterday with a friend on the phone and we were talking about what our jobs were as Christians, here in this world.  I think we often lose focus with all the distractions.  She told me to look in Luke 4:18 where Jesus read in front of a crowd in the synagogue, and it read like this....."The spirit of Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted."  To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind.  To set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.   It is our job to tell ...

Faith

Faith  Do you have a friend who can keep you accountable?  A friend that reminds you of your own instability or the real truth of who you are?  Who wants to hear about our weaknesses as humans?  It's like having someone hit you over the head with a wooden plank!  It's downright PAINFUL!!!  Are we true to ourselves, or do we have a fake facade?   The Lord brought me a word today, that felt like a wooden plank!  Don't we often want him to just cuddle us and pamper us and spoil us!  Who doesn't.  But, as a Father wanting the very best for and from us, He always needs to give us truth!  Of course don't forget the grace - (His arms around us as He teaches and instructs.) A friend and I were talking about losing weight and focusing on eating with a healthier lifestyle in mind.  I think deep inside we each think that being a little over weight makes us unattractive.  However, what God says about being unattrac...

My Journey

My Journey with VIDA and my Signature Collection I found a company that actually reached out to me to encourage utilizing my art and design background to design high-end clothing.  Since finishing my certification in graphic design, it gave me the ability and expertise to follow through with my designing ability; my imagination kicked into gear!  I have worked with several manufacturers to produce backpacks, tote bags, pillows and other accessories but never had the opportunity to produce silk and high-end clothing and accessories.  I am so excited to see the quality and beauty of these products!  I have just started with my very own signature collection!  As I come out with new designs and products, I will post them and my journey with VIDA.  Each time a product is purchased you are supporting literacy, education and women's rights.  Make a statement by buying my signature collection, personally designed by me.  To view other designs j...
