Jar of verses

 Psalm1 is a song about a man who is blessed. This blessed man is a man who delights in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. It is so good to read Gods Word and there definitly is a blessing in reading, studying and meditating upon it so for one of this weeks free creative project I put together this jar of verses. I had previously made up these cards with some encouraging verses on them. I typed them up, printed them off and glued them onto pieces of card I had left over. Then I washed a used jar and wrapped it in a bow with some pretty green ribbon I had already. Each morning I take a verse out for that day. Its fun and I am always looking forward to what tomorrows verse says. Its also a cool way of learning them off throughout the day by using them as a bookmark too.  Todays verses re...

Rain drops keep falling on my head!

Today here in Cork, it is definetly an umbrella day! Each day here in Ireland the weather can be so different. Yesterday we had snow and sun and today we have lots of rain.

Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Please note that I am not saying that these things arent important and I do not expect a package outside my door with an outfit picked out and a food basket next to it saying 'with love from God' each morning.

So its ALREADY coming to the end of January 2013..hard to believe I know. It has been a quick couple of weeks.  College is back in full swing with only 10 weeks of lectures left this semester, the plan to get my running mileage up is on the go and my read the bible in a year plan is well into Genesis and Matthew. Its been a good month so far! One thing however which is still not settled is my desire to find ways of being more creative this year! Last year was such a great year. I got to live in Germany, travel to Turkey and stay in China. And this was all before returning back to Ireland in July. Last year because of the grace of God I got to know who I am because of Jesus and what He did more and this included my likes and dislikes. He healed lots and brought so much light, life and joy into my heart. One of the things that I found more and more was this huge urge and desire to be more creative,...
