In week 3 of social distancing my tip for you all is to make an effort to keep your social contacts alive. Make that (video) call, especially when you’re introverted and don’t necessarily feel that need! Do it anyway.
The bible verse I’m reading this week is Psalm 6.
And the image was digitally collaged & edited by me, showing our Lord coming to our rescue and chasing away our enemy – in this case the pandemic. 🙂
May the Lord bless you all and keep you safe.
In my second week I’m finding something akin to a new rhythm, and thanks to some helpful rearrangements in my schedule, I’m feeling far less isolated than last week. In the video I’m sharing with you what steps I took, and the tips that I distilled from that.
Of course there’s also a bible verse that comes with that, this time from Jeremiah 29.
May God keep you all safe in these bizarre times.
Sharing from Job 42 this time: Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? On how God restored Job’s health AND his earthly richess, after a period of devastating illness and loss.
Also: meet my sweet Jemimah 🙂
May God restore you all!
Hello all, in these bizar times of the corona pandemic, I’m considering a new series of vlogs, Words of Encouragement, and if I go through with this idea, then this would be
part 1.
The video is basically just me, talking to you about readjusting, finding a new normal, feelings of isolation. But most of all to share encouragement, this time by way of Psalm 23, NIV:
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
May God keep you all safe.
Sometimes you don’t have grand words or elaborate messages to share, you just want to say something important to someone. Like Thank You, or some other word of encouragment.
Then an ATC type card might be a great tip for you crafters: they are easy to make, don’t take up lots of time and materials, and they still look awesome!
When you make these for the men in your life you’ll probably feel somewhat limited as to choice of colors and embellishments. Fortunately I found some papers that are not the standard ‘manly’ black, white & grey or navy blue. They are Pyrus and Oxford, both by Basic Grey, if you just throw in some screw brads you’re good to go! 🙂
Anyway, I’m gladly sharing the inspiration with you all today. First is a word of encouragement for a colleague of mine. Created with the Pyrus paper collection:
The second is a Thank You note for my uncle, with the Oxford collection, also by Basic Grey:
Enjoy the video & pics! And stay tuned for next week, when there’ll be an all new design mini album to share again! 🙂
