Be blessed today with time to give thanks for all the wonderful things you have in your life. I'm teaching my kids to wake up in the morning and let the first words out of their mouths be "Thank You Jesus..." and whatever 3 things they want to thank him for.A grateful heart is indeed a happy heart!
I am thankful for the many opportunities my Lord and Savior puts in front of me. One of them, creating with my hands. Stamping has been a sweet blessing. I never had great interest on paper crafts since I was very involved in Drama & Dance Arts. I used to lead and choreograph for a dance team at a previous church, also take Ballet, Modern and Jazz lessons for several years (these all after my 25 yrs old:).
Then I got sick in 2006. I suffered weird seizures and used to loose my balance frequently. Long story short, the Lord introduce me to Stampin'Up! Is interesting I know. I say He did, cause I had a dream with the company and I knew He was leading me into something new. I prayed for a while and then got informed online and contacted the only demo I knew vaguely. She was not a demo any longer but referred me to her demo at the time, now my Upline Nance Paine.
I am thankful for the opportunity to craft blessings for others. I had to stop dancing for a season, but the great news are my Lord Jesus indeed healed me from those attacks. I have them no more since and I am in no meds. God has been good to me. If you know me I dance to my heart's content at my church and home but only to His glory and in a rejoicing way of worship. I now also love to create for Him and follow His lead on my creative process. I am at the time praying His plans unfold with me in this company. Exciting!
Thanks for gladly follow my posts through these years. You inspire me to share and embrace life as it comes. Giving always thanks for life and the privileges I already have at hand.
Here a song to redirect your attention from me, from arts, from life to the Giver of it...Jesus.
This blog's name was inspired by the words "Remember Jesus".
It works real nice (since my name starts with J) for others to remember. But for me it is a constant reminder of focus your eyes ONLY on the Lord. He is THE ONE who loves me perfectly. My all to Him I give.
This song brought me to tears last Sunday. How much we long to see Him...and we will.
We all live in hard days, but He is perfectly faithful. Creative blessings!
