The Quest for the Perfect Tote Bag

I started a quest to find the perfect tote bag for when I go on weekend trips.  I have a nice suitcase that is good for long trips but I decided that I really didn't need to pack enough stuff for a week when I am only going on a trip for two days.  So I decided to go to the store and see what was out there.  I needed to go to Wal-mart anyway so I thought I would see what king of luggage and totes that they had, Wal-mart had nice suitcases that were the same size or larger than the one I had or they had open tote bags that you can buy in the purse aisle.  I am wanting a bag that has wheels, but is about the size of a duffell bag.  I then went to Ross and found a nize bag that had the features I was wanting, but I wanted to check a few more stores before buying something to see what options I had.  So the next day I went to a few more stores with the same results that Wal-Mart had, either the bags were too large or open without wheels.  So I head back to Ross to buy the bag that I liked originally and wouldn't you know it someone else had purchased it.  I did find the perfect scrapbooking tote that I would like to have, but I really didn't need a scrapbooking tote at that point in time.  So the quest continues to find the perfect size tote bag.  I am headed down to see my boyfriend this weekend so I will check at Target and see what type of luggage they have (the closest Target to me is two hours away).

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore?  Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again?  Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry.  Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry.  First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be.  Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you?  Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life.  When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you. In making...
