More Swaps and some personal trades

Here are some of the swaps I've finished up this week.

Whimsical Birds

Astrological Signs (Libra)

Vintage Photos/Mixed Media

Your Stuff/My Stuff

(Participants were paired up and then sent each other an envelope full of misc. items. Then each person must use the items sent to them to make an ATC and then send it back to your partner.  I was so inspired, I ended up making 5 cards!)



Personal Trades

Now...onto a couple of journals and some Owl Dotee Dolls.  Stay tuned!

Another song that speaks straight to my heart...

Heard this song again today and again, I can hear God's voice speaking to me.  I hope I get to the point where I can say these words and mean them but for now...its something to pray for and its a comfort to know that this is what He wants for me.


Brave by Nicole Nordeman

The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation.
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in.
Welcome to the middle ground.
It's safe and sound, and until now,
It's where I've been.
Cause it's been fear
that ties me down to everything But it's been love,
Your love, that cuts the strings.

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave. Brave, brave.

I am small and I speak when I am spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all.
Say your name, just your name.
And I am ready to jump,
Even ready to fall.
Why did I take this vow of compromise?
Why did I try to keep it all inside?

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave.

I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame.
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain,
But if you believe in me, that changes everything.

So long, I'm gone.

Chorus:
So long status quo, I think I've just let go.
You make me want to be brave (I want to be brave).
The way it always was, is no longer good enough.
You make me want to be brave.

More words from God straight to my heart...

I just heard this song for the first time and after the last couple of weeks and the things I, and we, as a family have been struggling through...this was exactly what I needed to hear.

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

"Blessings" by Laura's Story

I pray that I can be mindful of this even in the worst moments and I pray that they bless you as they have blessed me.
