awaken and renew

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

CREATE AND EVOLVE

THE JOY OF GIVING: GIFTS FOR LITTLES. Wow, what an exciting month it's been, filled with the joy of crafting handmade gifts for the little ones! If you've been following this blog, you know how much I love gifting baby blankets to my cousins and friends with newborns. It's a cherished tradition of mine to also give out bucket bags as the babies grow. These bucket bags are incredibly handy for storing toys and small books. My friend's daughter, Clara, absolutely adores using hers for the Easter Egg Hunt!

SUMMER PROJECTS AND MORE GIFTS:Tissue pouches, Embroidered blankets, aprons, and hand towels.

The prints perfectly aligned!!! A surprise

How do you unwind? How do you fill your cup? If you like crafting, get creative!

REFOCUS AND DELIGHT

GLEANINGS FROM ROMANS 8: SMALL GROUP STUDY BY JD GREEAR.

Our dedicated group spent three weeks delving into Romans 8. This study posed profound questions that prompted me to examine my relationship with God: Are you letting the gospel shape your life and allowing the Spirit to guide it? Are you immersing yourself in the gospel by memorizing scripture? Have you fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit?

Romans 8:28 is one of the most frequently cited scriptures: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Many overlook the crucial second part of the verse: of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Even more significant is verse 29: For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. When God restored and redeemed me through suffering and trials, did I truly become more like Jesus?

If you find yourself feeling lonely, hopeless, and empty, I urge you to meditate on Paul's powerful words in Romans 8:38-39:

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the power of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Seek GOD for He is seeking YOU! DWELL in His presence and BASK in His love.

Blessings,
