happy christmas owl wreath.

I am really proud of my front door wreath:







I've had this vine wreath for a long time and really love it's versatility (aka it's like the blank canvas of wreaths).
I wrapped some leftover fir from Christmas tree trimmings in and out of of it, then hot-glue-gunned some floral moss on one side and the sweet little owl. : ) He was actually a Christmas tree ornament at Target, as are the copper colored ornaments I hung off the fir branches.
Sweet, huh?

It makes me smile, just thinking about it. Leave a comment!

a hat I made for Isaiah.

more mama love.











mama love.

I pulled this from some notes from IHOP. It's pretty much rocking my world right now:

D. “Everyman, Everyday Worship” According to this definition, every human being can worship God every day, all day long.

“I…have resolved to make the love of God the end of all my actions. I have been well satisfied with this single motive. I am pleased when I can take a straw from the ground simply for the love of God, seeking Him and nothing else – not even seeking His gifts.” – Brother Lawrence, Practicing His Presence.

E. Even if we don’t love what we do, we love who we are doing it for.
20"So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her." Genesis 29:20 (NKJV)
<interjection: what a love story....I want to watch a movie expound on that a little!>

F. Results: Even the mundane (1) becomes joy, presence, discovery of God; (2) intimacy, constant communion; (3) Power is released.

IV. GREATER LOVE

A. How did Jesus define love? Jesus defined the greatest possible expression of love as the laying down of our life for another.
13"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." John 15:13 (NKJV)

B. No one exemplifies this more than mothers. But most feel their offering is worthless, God is passing them by. It is the exact opposite.
