Creating to the Glory of God. Plus a free printable perpetual calendar!

Thoughts

Perpetual calendarDownload

Have you noticed how creativity is such a ‘buzzword’ today?

It’s everywhere! Blogs, Pinterest, Instagram…

Every time I see a photo of a beautiful room makeover or a super cute craft project my brain starts racing with ideas! I get so inspired to make something new.

Immediately the battle begins in my head. Should I really spend my time doing this? How important is any of this, really? My heart is torn between the steady barrage of beautiful photos that make me excited to create & the burden for deeper issues. There’s so much hurt in the world.

Can I really justify taking the time to be creative?

Does anyone else struggle with this?  I have such a desire to create, yet I really want to spend my time on things that matter most, things that will make a difference. I’ve been struggling with this battle off & on for a long time & praying for clarity.

I believe the answer is found in our intentions.

When I looked up the definition of intention I loved what it said…
“Done on purpose; deliberate.”
There are two things that the Lord has been showing me.

  • Our deep desire to create comes from God, the master creator. We are made in His image, why wouldn’t we have these passions!
  • He gave us these passions & talents to enjoy & to use them to love well. We were made to love & our lives become joyful when we use our talents to love others.
I hope to inspire you on your creative journey.

Encouraging you to enjoy the gift of creativity and to use it to love well.

Above is a download for a printable perpetual clipboard calendar. It’s one I’ve used for several years now and is a simple and pretty way to stay organized.

I’ve painted a basic wooden clipboard with chalk paint and sealed it with some Johnson’s paste wax. Super cute, easy, and inexpensive. A triple win! 😉

Hello!

I'm Judi, momma to 5 incredibly inspiring girls, my 'creative little women'. I make craft & sewing patterns and illustrate paper goods. I also blog a bit about making things & life, in hopes to encourage your creativity & heart... read more

Fun fact: I love to create sewing patterns! Many y Fun fact: I love to create sewing patterns!
Many years ago I was introduced to essential oils and was immediately hooked! So much so, I wanted to take them with me everywhere... however, they’re expensive, and the bottles are glass😳
At the time, there was little to no storage options, so...
I developed various bags and pouches and sewed some for me (and hundreds upon hundreds of wonderful customers) ...only to realize that sewing oodles of the same thing was not my passion😕
HOWEVER... after publishing my patterns I had the opportunity to help new sewists by answering their questions and soon found a new passion!  I LOVE helping women discover the joy in making!!!
This year, after a loooong hiatus, I’m excited to begin working on half finished projects, as well as new ones I’m dreaming up, and I’m excited to share my journey with you🥰

Thank you @lkmarcus for remembering our sweet boy. Not a day goes by, even 29 years later, that we don’t remember him and the imprint he left on our hearts💙 We are  beyond thankful for the hope we have of seeing him again because of Christ!!!♥️

Five years ago my daughter Olivia spent 5 months a Five years ago my daughter Olivia spent 5 months at home after college searching hard for a job in her field (food science). We prayed for God to provide, not having a clue where it might lead her. I remember so clearly the day she had her first phone interview with Nature’s Bakery... she came flying into my bedroom so excited she was bursting and jumping up and down! ‘Mom, I SO want this job! I didn’t even know a job like this could possibly exist!!!!’ She could hardly contain herself and was grinning from ear to ear!!

Though it meant moving our girl hundreds of miles away, we have thanked the Lord over and over for allowing her to have her dream job with wonderful people to work with...
Fast forward 5 years, she is currently their only food scientist and has the blessing of developing baked goods day after day, and she LOVES her work!! This email came to my inbox today announcing what she has been excitedly talking to us about for 18+ months!
Thanking the Lord again for allowing her to joyfully use the gifts He put inside her. And last but certainly not least, blessing her with a wonderful husband to share her journey with!!!♥️

Are there things you wish you could do but your th Are there things you wish you could do but your thoughts say ‘I can’t__’, or ‘I wish I could __ ‘, and you stop there? 
Truth be told, I’ve always encouraged my girls in any creative avenue they wished to pursue, but I’ve let ‘I cant’s stop me many times over.
One of my visions for this new year is to learn how to paint, and I’m so excited! Worship music is blaring and I’m learning color theory!!🎨
What about you? What’s something you want to learn? Stop the ‘I can’t’ thoughts and start finding ways to learn how! Who knows what might blossom inside of you!🌸
