love me some *heidi*!

we all know how awesome 'SHE' is, but have you guys seen this? i made a run to the grocery earlier and was sucked into the lss in the same shopping strip. (i know, i know, i just HAD to go to THAT kroger's, knowing good and well i would end up in maridawn's)

anyway, i'm SO diggin' this book, (not to mention it was only $10!!!)... so much eye candy and inspiration!! i fell in love with heidi back in 2000 when she won ck's hall of fame. she never ceases to wow me with her amazing work.

now, i'm off to bed to drool a little bit before falling asleep!

new addiction

i recently joined a new forum at http://www.story-kits.com/main.html. the chicks on this message board are sooo fun! and sara has put together some really fabulous kits. i have to give credit where credit is due... it's because of this site and these girls that i've finally decided to step out into the wonderful world of blogging. i recently participated in a rolodex swap and am really looking forward to getting to know all of them better. so, if you're looking for a little inspiration or just want to chat with some awesome chicas, i encourage you to check it out!

got faith?

'Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.' Hebrews 11:1

ever since i became a Christian, i've claimed to have faith. but do i really? my husband unexpectantly lost his job this past friday. and since i quit my job 5 months ago to stay home with our baby girl, that means we have no source of income coming in. it also means no health insurance for our punkin. ah ha!... this is where my faith kicks in, right?

i want to rejoice in this trial... we as Christians are suppose to endure hardships as discipline and God disciplines us for our good. it means He loves us... it's times like this that we find out what we really DO believe... it's times like this that God draws us closer to Him... so that we learn to lean solely on Him for our every need. i have no idea what tomorrow holds, but i am sure that something better is around the corner and i am certain that God is in complete control of whatever happens. i pray that God uses this trial to strengthen my marriage with my husband and deepen my relationship with Himself.

no longer a wannabe

i've been on the fence for over a year about starting a blog. you see, i've secretly longed to have a blog, but have been too intimidated to actually give it a try. well, as of today i'm no longer a blogger wannabe... i've crossed over. now, i just hope i can keep you entertained!
