Scripture & a Snapshot - Week 89
I heard this song for the first time the other day while listening to the radio in my car and I've been singing it ever since...it's just another way to showcase the incredible love God has for us!

Scripture & a Snapshot - Week 88
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Galatians 5:22-23
This morning our family went blueberry picking at a local farm.
There were literally hundreds of people there...all with bags and bags full of fruit! We've never been to this farm before, so I was a little worried the crop would be sparse when we arrived at the fields.
However, the bushes were still overflowing with an abundance of fruit!
It is in these moments that I am reminded of Christ's abundant love...that He has plenty to give and will never run out!

Scripture & a Snapshot - Week 87
She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.
She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.
Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
Proverbs 31:17-19
Right now I am definitely feeling like the Proverbs 31 woman...at least in verses 17 through 19.
The rest the verses, not so much.
I recently opened a second shop on Etsy {Anthology On Main} where I make and sell book page wreaths {pictured above} and pomanders, plus some other things.
I originally had only planned to list what I had time to make and then hope to sell it.
Instead, I've been receiving custom requests...which is absolutely awesome!
So far this month I've made two custom wreaths, 5 custom pomanders for a party, and am currently working on a HUGE order for a wedding. I'm making 17 pomanders, the bridal bouquet and (likely) all the boutineers as well!
I am amazed and so very thankful that God has blessed me with this new path, but it's also a bit overwhelming!
I've really slacked on keeping the house clean, meal planning is a distant memory, my camera is collecting dust, and blogging has certainly taken a backseat to it all...this is why you've seen zero comments from me over the past few weeks.
Over the next week I also hope to incorporate verse 20 into my regular routine:
She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
and opens her arms to the needy.
Earlier in the week I saw a blog post about the organization Compassion International and was absolutely touched and moved and knew this is something I want to do.
In what ways do you find yourself like the Proverbs 31 woman?
In what ways are you striving to be?
...and now I want to leave you with this song that was sung in church last week.
It's a country song, but I want you to listen and hear it as if Jesus was singing it to you...
I hope you all have a blessed week!!!
