There’s nothing like being able to do what you love!
I’m learning to do different kinds of Paintings with different painting techniques. I am stretching myself like one of these
painted canvases, I have painted all of these paintings this week! …Gotta get out of my comfortable place in order to grow as an Artist, but even more
importantly being stretched to grow as a person!
DISCLAIMER< THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD< I AM MAKING NO PROMISES< AM NOT PAID TO SELL PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING ELSE, THIS IS MEANT ONLY TO GIVE OPTION AND IS MERELY A RECCOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT I LIKE!
Yay, So very Simple and Absolutely Wonderful!
Pour White Distilled Vinegar in an empty 2 liter bottle
Add as much Pure Essential Oils as you wish of any scent that you wish.
I actually added about 5 drops of pure Essential Lavendar Oil which scented it more than enough
for our family.
I then shook it up to evenly mix it.
Pour 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup into each load on the rinse cycle…
Your clothes will come out feeling so soft and will be static free!
The Natural recipe works wonderfully by itself, however there is another option!
depending on how organic or natural you want to go!
2. Recipe for Fabric Softner using White Vinegar and Hair Conditioner
The first time I even made Homemade Fabric Softener using White Vinegar this was the recipe I used!
6 cups white vinegar
1 bottle of hair conditioner, whatever fragrance you love
4 cups of water
Mix all the ingredients together, again I use a recycled 2 liter bottle and shake before each use.
I use approximately 1/2 cup in rinse cycle and clothes smell great and are soft. The conditioner
will settle to the bottom or float to the top, so the fabric softener has to be shaken with each use.

Finally I’ve been teaching painting lessons to a couple groups of children and adults. I’ve been doing a Sip-N-Stroke painting class usually the 2nd Saturday of each month. I also teach at the GMKS and Beyond Arts Center in Douglasville, Ga every Thursday, and then at a homeschool group on Monday’s so Yay!
My normal days of course include taking care of my husband of 32 years, and raising 2 boys ages 12 and 8 and getting them homeschooled. Have you ever tried to feed two growing boys?????It is a full time job, believe me! I love my life, GOD is so very good to me and my family….Looking forward to walking through some long awatied doors that he has just recently been opening! So Yay! Today is my celebration of getting somethings accomplished!
We all need a time to just relax and to clear our minds, My time was yesterday!
I was so blessed to actually be able to take the day and paint to my hearts content.
I love to try new techniques and some I get down and some I still need alot of work on,
none the less it’s therapy for me, it’s good for my soul!
Dreaming with GOD may sound like a wild notion for some of you, for others it makes perfect sense.
My Pastor has been teaching on dreaming with GOD or really seeing yourself as GOD sees you. Dreaming with GOD, also means that you have what GOD wants to get to you. Why? The answer is so that only GOD can get glory out of your life and your life’s purpose will be fulfilled the way that GOD planned for you.
So many times we see ourselves in the light of how we grew up, what our parents said we were, or maybe how our friends
saw us, or our teachers etc. Unfortunely, our images of ourselves are usually so distorted that when the
Lord begins to show us a different image on the inside we have a difficult time seeing past what others told us that we were.
When I first became a Christian I was going to a very “traditional church.” By traditional, I mean it was the Bible belt south that
preached that hell was hot and if you didn’t walk the line that it (hell) would be your eternal home. Don’t get me wrong I do believe that
the wages of sin is death because the scripture states if you sow to the flesh you will of the flesh reap coruption, however the scripture also
says that we can sow to the Spirit and of the Spirit we reap eternal life. When? When do we recieve or reap eternal life? Many would say when we
get to Heaven, but according to scripture that is not true. The minute we are born again we crossed over from death unto life. We became the
sons and daughters of GOD; He adopted us into his family. So, if we have become His children, do we not have access to what Jesus
died to give us when we accepted what he did for us? We have eternal life the minute we accept Jesus. Yes there is an eternal everlasting life “in the sweet by and by”, but we don’t have to wait it is ours now!
Dreaming with GOD usually begins with simple desires. The scripture states in Proverbs that if we keep our eyes stayed upon him we will have the
desires of our heart. The scripture also states that a desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul! I believe the scripture in Jeremiah 29:11 I know the toughts I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I love this scripture because it shows us that the Lord already has a wonderful plan for our lives, so what are we waiting for? The scripture also says he does exceedingly, abundantly, more than we can ask or think. Have you ever
just thought or imagined how much that is…if you have then you are Dreaming with GOD!
Dreaming with GOD is not some mystical thing, it is simply thinking and meditating upon what he has done for us and what he says is ours now that we have come into a heavenly kingdom. Jesus taught his desciples to pray Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thine Kingdom come thy will be done.
Where? On earth as it is in heaven.. What is available in heaven? Everything, everything that we could possibly imagine or hope for, right? He has made it available to us through Jesus’ death and ressurrection, we are not orphans who have nothing, NO, we are Kings Kids and we have a Kingdom that we can access by faith…! How exciting to know that what things soever you desire when you pray you shall have them! The limits are off!
The dreams that the Lord has given me persoanlly are things that I cannot fulfill without him! He wants to co-labor with me to fulfill his purposes in our lives. If I could have done everything on my own then I would not have had need for a Savior! But, I can do nothing unless I am connected to the vine. The vine is Jesus, He is my lifeline! He is my door to the Kingdom, he is the only door to the Kingdom! Dreams fulfilled by GOD only come by faith…All of what the Father has for me can only be obtained by faith in what Jesus has made available to me. The Bible says that hope deferred maketh the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul! It gives our Father great pleasure to give his Kingdom to his children…Won’t you begin dreaming with GOD today and let him
cause your dreams become reality!
I wanted to encourage you that its never too late, you are never too old to dream. If you have dreamed a dream and it did not come when or how you thought it should have, dream again. Don’t quit until you see your desires come! Get up and walk toward that thing whatever it may be, just don’t quit!
