Why I Wear My Faith


I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, Paul wrote at the beginning of his letter to the church at Rome. That verse has always been close to my heart, and I pray that the jewelry I wear will be a testimony of my faith and a conversation starter with someone unfamiliar with these Scriptures and phrases. Here are just a few of my favorites.


Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 40:10 - For the days that I'm so hurried and rushed and need the reminder to slow it all down.
Let your faith be stronger than your fear. - Anything resembling fear comes from the enemy, not from God.
Be patient, gentle, humble, loving. Ephesians 4:2-3 - In this world where you can be anything, be this.
Pray. - So simple, but I need to pray every time I glance down at my hand and see that word.
Crosses - EMPTY crosses because my Savior is in heaven, seated at the right hand of God!
I am blessed. - How often I need to count my many blessings, ton by ton.
Love never fails. - Never. Ever. At no time. Nor will it.


I have loved you with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 31:3 - God has been showering me with love verses recently.
Blessed. - Beyond measure and exceeding abundantly above.
Tears in God's bottle. Psalm 56:8 - He has a record of every single tear I have ever shed, they touch His heart and He reaches out to me in comfort every time.
Let all that you do be done in love. - The right motivation behind everything we do.
Faith over fear. - I have given my heart to the God who is greater than anything I might be afraid of.


She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31:25 - One of my favorite Scriptures, reminding me that in the Lord I have all the strength I need for whatever He allows into my life.
Faith can move mountains. Matthew 17:20 - Don't tell God how big your mountains are. Tell your mountains how big your God is!
Daughter of the King. Galatians 3:26 - I'm so glad I'm part of the family of God, so I'm going to straighten my crown and represent Him well.


Be strong and courageous. Joshua 1:9 - My strength and courage come from God alone, and I will wear them as armor in this battle.
Saved by grace. - There's nothing special about me. I'm just a sinner saved by grace, and I thank the Lord for that every day.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 - I am weak, but He is strong. I turn to Him for all my strength because His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
What are your favorite pieces of jewelry that share your faith?

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...
