What To Do ~ When You've Done All You Know To Do


Humble yourself, therefore, under God's mighty hand of blessing, that He may lift you up in due time.

Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:6-7







 Father, I acknowledge I'm not able to produce the outcome that I need ~ so I wholeheartedly lay my circumstances at your feet. Help me not to worry or be fearful, but to genuinely put my hope and trust in You and Your incredible love for me.  Amen.

Counting My Blessings,

A Little Fall Color

I love to decorate with Fall colors year-round; it's my favorite season and my favorite color pallet. So for the season ~  instead of Halloween decor, I enjoy a fall / harvest look.

This weekend I came across a cute little dish and a small garland of bittersweet that had to come home with me. Oh, and a cinnamon-scented candle.

After I got home I realized, if I looked hard enough, I'd probably find the same candle and garland stashed away from last year. And I liked the dish so much I went back and got one for my sister.

As I was looking for something to put the candle in I came across a few other "fall-ish" pieces that I pulled out and added to my already very cluttered buffet top. (I like to think of it as layering.)

Four pieces of stemware from a yard sale ~
currently re-purposed as candle holders

all nestled together in the star garland.



And I'm calling it done!
  Although I might see if I can find
a little something for the mantle next week.
