After painting my kitchen 2 weeks ago, I got my milk glass & vintage plates back up. This time with the addition of Christmas lights. Have you figured out that I really love me some Christmas lights? All year? They just make me happy. So why not? And they make milk glass glow! #milkglass #collections #milkglasscollection #vintage #vintageplates #oldthings #christmaslights

Women Of The Bible - Better Together - Dayspring

It's a new year for Bible Journaling & with a new year comes changes. One of those is that Dayspring is now creating their very own Bible Journaling kits. The first one is focusing on the Women of the Bible. No better place to begin, right? This kit is a stand alone kit, but will also coordinate with the next 2 monthly kits. 

The people who created the devotionals & the feel to the (in)Courage Bible also created this kit as well as the next two kits. So if you are wanting to dig a bit deeper into the devotionals you can use this unique Bible. But it's not a must for the kits. 

Here is my unboxing video of the kit.

A closer look at the contents...

Here is my tutorial & review

There are my affiliate links to purchase the kit & or Bible.

#tbt We has been married for 2 months. We drove to Alabama for Cori's wedding & spent 2 weeks here. This was right after the wedding. We went to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. D's first time! Before we hit the road back to Los Angeles. #almost19yearsago

Day 4 of migraine. Thankfully it's easing off enough to get a few things done. Like recording Unboxing videos. My boss is making sure things are done properly. #dailydoseofdottie #polkadottie #unboxingvideos #chiweenie #chiweeniesofinstagram

I have a sneak peek of the BRAND NEW @dayspringcards Bible Journaling Kit! This is the first one of three that will delve into the women of the Bible. It is beautifully laid out with lovely shades of purples with a dash of green & blue. 

For those that may not know, this is the first kit that is only by #dayspring. And it's been written by the same female authors who wrote the devotionals in the (in)Courage Bible. I gotta say...I'm really looking forward to working through this one. 

Be sure to follow my YouTube channel for a few new videos with an Unboxing & tutorials! Link in my bio!  #DS_WomenOfTheBIble #incouragebible #biblejournaling #womenofthebible

Sunday Full Day

I love these people so much! Keep your heart open, because you just never know who the Lord will place in your life that you will call family. Friends are family we choose! It's one of my favorite things on the Sunday Mornings that I'm on the worship team,we get to hang out during 1st service in the coffee shop.





A sweet friend made me this most perfect shirt ever!!!!

That evening I went to a going away party for a sweetheart at church that is moving (as I type) to Utah. Jesus is sending her on a great adventure!

Photo with my cuz Renea at the party & I'm not looking in the right place. Ha!

Cori was in town so she picked me up & we went to hang out for a few hours. Gosh...I miss her!









This duo is back! If only for coffee!

All Caught Up

OK....I am all caught up. I didn't even try to go post things on the right dates. Now to keep things up! I feels good being behind the keyboard.

I'm off to finish up laundry, that I have been working on all day while blogging.

Toodles!

Forgotten Memories

My cousin had their family VHS tapes converted to DVD for Christmas so she has been sending me screenshots today. I didn’t even know these existed!

Fine Arts with Tiffanni. I was 17 & it was my first time to sing a solo. I sang “Grand Canyon” by Susan Ashton.

Uncle Billy’s (not my real uncle. And would have been my Dad if Mom has succeeded in winning his heart) 40th Birthday. I thought that I was so fat! Ugh. If only I had known.

OLW 2019

When I was praying about my word for 2019, at first I felt it would be “Seek.” The Lord also gave me the scripture 
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
I continued to pray for a few weeks about it & I felt there was more. Then the word “Pursue” began to echo on my heart. I thought “Well, those two words are sorta similar.” I continued to pray. Then this song began playing on repeat in my mind. It’s called “Relentless Pursuit” by Kim Walker Smith (link to song here> https://youtu.be/pCDgMqoyfjs ). These are the lyrics.

🎵
You can have all of me
You can have every part of me

And I, I am released to run after you, oh
And I, I am released to run after you

It's a relentless pursuit, relentless pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you
It's a relentless pursuit, a passionate pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you

I won't hold anything from you
Every part of me I've surrendered to you

And I am not afraid to run after you, oh
To run with all my strength, run into you

It's a relentless pursuit, relentless pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you
It's a relentless pursuit, a passionate pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you the love of my life

Oh you the love of my life
Oh it's you, you, you, you, you
Of my life

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I'm hopelessly crazy in love for you,you,you,you
You've taken the keys and you've opened up all of me
And now I'm running, I'm running after you
The love of my life
Oh you the love of my life

It's a relentless pursuit, relentless pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you
It's a relentless pursuit, a passionate pursuit
I will not stop chasing after you 

🎵

THOSE WORDS! Am I right? *sigh*

Jeremiah 29:13 in the NLT version says
“If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.”

So in 2019 I will PURSUE Jesus, wholeheartedly, relentlessly...He is the love of my life!

Birdlet Sitting

Some of my friends went out of town & they asked me to bird sit. And what a joy it was to take are of these 9 month old babies!
