You Are Exactly Who God Made You To Be

Posted by Christin N Hunt on Thursday, November 29, 2012, In : Reflections 


This quote has meant the world to me recently and I wanted share its origin with you, my dear readers.  Rachel Anne Ridge of Home Sanctuary is a wealth of wisdom pertaining to creating a home environment which strengthens, encourages and blesses the family. 

Please take a few minutes to visit her website, and the context of today's photo-quote, which I have copied below:

Household Schedules for Pathetic Schedulers

I prefer to think of mysel...

Gratitude

Posted by Christin N Hunt on Wednesday, November 21, 2012, In : Reflections 


Gratitude.  I've never really had a problem with that.  Whenever anyone gives me a gift (tangible or otherwise) I am able to express my thanks fairly well.  In fact, I'm an AWESOME letter writer.

I am also, however, an awful letter sender.  (Case in point: I recently found a thank-you letter I forgot to send out for a wedding present...  *ahem*  We've been married over 5 years now.)

  • I forget that I'm not strong enough to handle everything in my day.

I. Am. Powerless.

That pretty much sums it up!  [Case in point, when I leaned my not-quite-30-year old body over to retrieve Thomas the Tank Engine fro...

God Brings Joy

Posted by Christin on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, In : Endurance 


Can you imagine a life without Jesus?  Going through all of life's hardships, trials and chaos without His stability to ground our hearts and minds?  Wow...  I'm ashamed to admit that I too often forget how blessed I am!  There is truly no joy outside of Jesus...  And Joy in the midst of trouble?  That's a work of God right there!
