MY ripple effect
![]() |
Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,”
whenever i need a little boost in my devotional time, i pull out my favorite devotional book: “Women of the Bible” today i studied Priscilla. as in Priscilla & her husband Aquila. (you can check out more by reading Acts 18-19, Romans 16:3-4, 1 Corinthians 16:19, 2 Timothy 4:19) Priscilla was one of the first missionaries and a leader of the early church. she was a woman whose spiritual maturity and understanding of the faith helped build up the early church. some key points that God taught me today, during my devotion time:
“as believers, we should picture our lives as stones thrown into a pond. our lives are meant to have a RIPPLING EFFECT so others can feel the influence of our gifts and faith. picture yourself as a stone in God’s hand. He throws you into the water. What kind of ripples do you see? Are they large or small? Thank God for all the ripples your life has already created, even if the circle of your influence still seems rather small. Unlike the ripples created by an ordinary stone, the ripple effect of faith need never stop as long as we live. Pray that God will make waves with your faith, even rocking a few boats along the way.” |

the recipe was extremely quick and easy! Cinnamon Pancake Syrup Ingredients:

so, that’s my ta-da so far for Sunday Scrappin…not sure if the ‘folding’ that i did of the gift bag, will count for my S.S. challenge.
my to-do’s: many many cards to catch up on…hopefully later tonight, while the hubby & i watch a movie together. hope you are enjoying your sunday! |

aren’t they cute? i built it while sorting through thousands, (literally), thousands of legos for the garage sale.
well, tomorrow’s the day! rise & shine! bright & early! full day of garage sale at the church. praying that we make a nice chunk of change for missions. my goal is to make more than last year…. so far, this year’s sale has gone surprisingly well! no injuries, (last year nick had his finger crushed between tables and required stitches), last year, on the night before the sale, we were there quite late finishing up, but today we were out of there and eating dinner by 6:00!!! whatta blessing! people said that i was crazy for doing ‘another garage sale so soon’. they didn’t think that we could fill an entire gym again with enough items—-they were wrong!!!! God allowed things to go smoothly & blessed us with enough items to fill the gym! i can’t wait to see what amazing things God will do tomorrow! need some scrappy inspiration? i have been looooving this website! sooo many talented girls! check them out!! |
