Art Connection ~ Day 12

This speaks to me about my mission for my blog. Investing in the lives of others, sharing His love and encouraging them.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)

This is my prayer, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God. (Philippines 1:9-11)

I want start my work in faith, continue in obedience and finish with love.

Goals ~ Day 11

What are my goals for my blog?
I want to encourage and share with others, make friends…(and I have made some wonderful friends), and to share our products around the world with others. Mixing business and pleasure, sort of say.

Am I continuously thinking of the purpose of my blog?
YES! Then God reminds me…”For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will man give in exchange for his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26)

How has it changed or remained the same?
It has remained the same for quite a while. I’m still in the learning process of how to get it out there to share and market it?? God makes all things beautiful in His time. (Ecclesiates 3:11)

Take a moment to list out those goals.
1) Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

2) Keep learning and sharing what I learn with others…Jesus first, of course. :-)

3) Business wise…Of course, I want customer to grow my businesses.
I want people to join, but I want them to LEARN first. If they learn first of their own volition, they are: "SELLING THEMSELVES."
When they do that, there is no pressure and it becomes their idea, which makes them serious, which means they stay longer and are more likely to succeed, which means my businesses will grow.

4) Be more faithful at posting.

5) Visit other blogs more often, thanking them for what I learned from them.

What do I notice?
It is a walk by faith, not by sight. This 30 days of blogging has encouraged me. I continue to learn daily. There are people out there willing to help.

Dream ~ Day 10

I had a dream/vision in 1980...There was a BIG crowd of people gathered together at the football field here in our town, filling it and the stadium completely. It was a dream of reuniting/reconnecting people. Family to family, friends to friends, neighbor to neighbor, town to town, reaching out to one another. Linking arms.

I have never forgot that dream...

Well, a couple weeks ago I was confronted with an opportunity to make that happen...a BIG and SCARY opportunity for me to get out of my comfort zone and make it happen! The event is to take place on Labor Day Weekend 2010.

It starts out with getting to know your neighbors, having a block party, and inviting the whole town to participate.

For one designated evening, turning off the TV set, the computer, ipods, phones, laying attitudes aside, for a chance to simply reconnect. To celebrate each other. To meet a neighbor. Link arms, neighbor to neighbor, family to family and unite for one night off...together.

We live near some of the nicest people in the world...it's time we get to know them!

It is time to bring community and relationship back to the forefront of minds and hearts. No political agendas, religious barriers, no campaigns for causes, coming together in unity.

Rekindling America...one relationship at a time.

The most basic of all human function relies on "relationships". Without truly connection with people, what does life look like? Whisked away behind closed doors of voluntary isolation? Too busy to say "Hello" to someone new on the block?

Scary, YES! But I can do all things through Christ who leads me, guides me and strengthens me!

BE unrealistic, think big, think out of the box, work from your passion, stick your neck out take a risk, get out of your comfort zone, be brave, be impulsive, take your time, take your rest, create, dream, have fun, help others to score, listen, admire, give compliments, be supportive, change, surprise yourself, re-invent, give, think but not to deep, take action, live life to the max and ENJOY IT!

Why I Blog and How I Wish To Grow It ~ Day 6

My reasons for having a Blog...
First is to invest in the lives of others by encouraging and sharing the love of Jesus Christ around the world.




Second is to share what I have to offer...To bless others in ways I never imagined possible. Living a way that is outwardly simple and inwardly rich! Simplicity...








How I wish to grow my blog...By sharing/writing things that people are interested in and desperately need...To know Jesus and His love for them.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

Then by sharing what we have learned and experiences through the wonderful products that we take, use and offer that keep us healthy and help the environment. "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." 3 John 2

Remembering that quality and service reign, and there will always be those looking for "the best."

Wealth is not just what you have, but what you are.
