Spring Time!!

Lately I have been in a clean EVERYTHING, de-clutter, get creative, hands-on mood. And I'm LOVING it!! At this moment there are bags waiting to go to Goodwill, a house completely cleaned, a blanket being crocheted, an old rocking chair that has been touched up, a guest room that has been re-designed, and another room waiting for a new look. And I'm blaming it on spring time! :) There's something so fresh and new about spring. The days are beginning to stay around longer, the air is still somewhat cool, and winter is gone. I think the Lord not only designed Spring as a time for new life, but also a time for a fresh start. In the midst of all the creativity and freshness, Josh and I have decided to start a business. We are very excited about this and are sure that Jesus is going to bless our creativity as one. It is a wood-working business, where Josh will build country style furniture, shelving, and home pieces and I will "finish" them with a bit of paint or finish. It is just in the beginning stages and our minds are popping with ideas and concepts!! Very exciting!!! In this season, I am also finding out how much I absolutely love my home! Even though we only rent, I'm finding that my place is and should be at home. I love verses in Proverbs and well....all throughout the Bible really....where it describes the woman's place in her home- to keep her family fed, raise her children, create an atmosphere that is loving and honoring of her husband, and to allow peace and joy to reign. This is my dream. But for now.....I have the weekends to create, love, enjoy, and inspire. Ladies, enjoy your homes and enjoy this Springtime!! Men, you do the same! :)
