Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

bling and baubles

bracelets.  earrings.  necklaces. rings.  hair bands.  toe rings.  turns out...i like them all.

i spent so many years not having anything for myself.  always having to be last.  always being questioned if i bought anything. i became...hesitant.  reticent.  i became unaware of what i actually enjoy.

it's not the expense.  it's the....feeling of pretty.  i love the feeling of getting my jewelry on in the morning. i love the feeling of dangly earrings and clattering bracelets.  i love the remembrances in my rings of grandfather and mother.  i love the friends who have made me things of beauty.

bling and baubles.  outward adornment of a soul set free. ready to fly.  a soul growing in the beauty that was placed there by her creator.  mind and heart and soul...free to worship...free to love...free to give...free to risk...free to flaunt it all just a little bit.

oh...and lace.  lace is lovely. :)

have a blessed april fool's day.  he is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.  i gave up popularity and respect.  i gave up looking right.  i gave up pretenses.  i gave up.  and i gained life.  a life that i cannot lose.

i am delighted.  i am delighted in.  and it is spilling over in the silliest ways....including jewelry.
blessings my loves.
