DIY WALL DECOR

 

Its Friday ladies! Incase you have some free time this weekend and would like to add a lil somethin' somethin' to that plain white wall in your home, here's a cute and inexpensive DIY! You will need: spoons, cardboard, scissors, spray paint (your chose of color), glue & glue gun and any size mirror you'd like!

 

Once you gather all your materials, you will then need to cut & trace your cardboard and snap your spoons (I had my strong handsome husband help me with that part, thank you my love!) Begin by gluing the spoons from the outside in, and when you finally get all the spoons glued on, its time to spray! Hold off on gluing the mirror until once the spray paint has dried.

 

After the paint has dried and the mirror has been glued, you will need to create a backing to hang it up (I forgot to take a picture of the back but all I did was create a loop with some twine and glued it).

 

Hope you ladies enjoyed this fun, simple and inexpensive DIY. Please feel free to email me or comment below your questions and share with me your finished pictures! Have a blessed weekend <3

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY LADIES! I hope each of you were able to have a sweet sweet mother's day whether it was celebrating you as a mom or being able to celebrate your own mothers. This mother's day was special to me because I was able to spend with both my mom and Carlos' mom at church.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Continue to love your mothers, to show them your appreciation each and every day, reminding them of Christ's love and faithfulness. ♡

Praise to God for a Living Hope

 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9)

 

I hope you ladies are having a great week so far! Let's continue to seek Jesus!

THE BEAUTY OF SPRING

 

Happy Friday ladies, its time for strappy heels and flowy dresses! Spring has finally started to blossom and I could not be any more anxious and giddy! This time of the year holds many beautiful memories for me including meeting my husband & celebrating his birthday, remembering my bridal shower, and marrying my true love & best friend which now means we get to celebrate our wedding anniversary every spring! Most of all, I love this season for what it represents in my life as a believer in Jesus Christ. “But God demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Jesus bore the punishment we deserved, and by His death we are completely forgiven, justified, healed, cleansed, and redeemed!

This weekend we celebrate His great victory, "...The angel said, 'Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified, He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!" (Mark 16:6). Death could not hold Him, He is risen and HE IS ALIVE! 

 

I pray you all continue to have a wonderful week with eyes focused on Christ and hearts ready to serve Him.
xoxo

Living with Purpose

 

 

Carlos and I love knowing that the Lord is pleased with us and that together we are living a life for Him. Marriage has made us better as individuals and together as one. I have never felt closer to God or to my husband than I do at this very moment. His presence surrounds us everyday and we not only feel it, but see it in all things. Whether it be through material things, spiritual things or physical things, etc. In both our brightest and darkest hours, God has been there working all things together for our good.

I encourage you today and from now on to "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). God promises us that if we live a life pleasing to Him, we need not worry! God is with you and HE IS FOR YOU! I am certain that if you seek Him first, everything will fall into place and your life will be better than you ever imagined.

Have a wonderful week!
love always,
Jessica

I'm not lucky, I'm blessed!

 

"I’m so lucky!”

“It was our lucky day!”

“You were so lucky!”

“I guess it was just luck.”

“I’ve had a string of bad luck.”

“He was just lucky.”

 

Luck…we hear about it all the time. As a Christian, I don’t believe anything happens by luck or by chance. In fact, I know it doesn’t. To paraphrase Proverbs 13:33 in today’s verbiage—we may flip the coin but the Lord determines how it falls. So even in that, God is still in control!

 

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28

 

I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe in Divine Intervention: a Creator who choreographs our circumstances and cares about my life. If I believe that God has a plan, then I don’t believe in any kind of luck, and I don’t believe anything happens by chance.

 

Moses said, “Who is like you among the gods, O LORD—glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?” (Exodus 15:11)

 

If I think I’m lucky, or I think something in my life just coincidentally happened in a certain way, then I’m not giving God any credit for being who He says He is. I’m not acknowledging that He is present in a very real way in my life and in my everyday circumstances. He is just as real in the little things (like running into a friend who has been on my mind or snagging a great deal) and the big things (like walking through a family member’s chronic illness or marrying the right guy). Luck is for people who don’t yet realize that God has a great and mighty plan for their lives.

 

I never want to give chance or luck the glory and praise for God’s blessings and provisions, so I just say, “I’m not lucky, I’m blessed!

Love always,
Jessica
