Don’t Even Think About Giving Up

What you’re going through right now may be overwhelming.

It may be emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually exhausting.

It may seem unbeatable, insurmountable, unavoidable and impassable.

But this moment in your life is just that - a moment. It is huge right now, I would never downplay that, but you have so much going for you.

Don’t you dare give up.


God can see you through the storm. You just need to hold on. 

From God’s perspective, this moment has been placed here for a reason, and He’s going to give you everything you need to be victorious.

Not just get through it or barely survive. Defeat in such a way that all you can do is praise God for winning this battle for you.

He will give you the strength to hold, so don’t give up.

He will be with you every step of the way, so don’t give up.

He will turn this test into a powerful part of your testimony, so don’t give up.

He will bring you through stronger, more focused and more trusting that you were before, so don’t give up.

It’s painful and uncomfortable now, but don’t even think about giving up. God is going to see you through 

I’m cheering you on, and I can guarantee you God is in your corner, too. He’s waiting for you to let Him guide you through this storm and place you exactly where He wants you.

So don’t give up. The best is yet to come.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
