What's A Girl to DO ?

What's  a girl supposed to do when she receives the wonderful gift of writer's block?
Well, I must say that I’ve experienced the writer’s block quite a few times. Currently I am experiencing it, so thus the post of what you can do to overcome it!

 One of the things I do to conquer this terrible beast, is to post pictures I’ve taken or pictures from Google! I do it all the time:)  It helps to fill that dreadful space of whiteness.

Another thing is to just tell your bloggy friends what you have been doing lately.


 Sometimes, I give away my thoughts…I write down what I have been pondering, the thoughts that have been swirling in my head…I try to captivate my reader’s attention,        ( but sometimes I think I lose their attention ! LOL)  and try to touch their life and then… let God do the rest.

 Witness. Tell your readers what you have been learning lately in God’s word.

 Be crafty! Do a tutorial on a craft. Or, show them something you’ve made lately. Some people may like to get ideas from a craft that you made.

 I’m sure we could all think of more ideas to get rid of the Writer’s Block… But, I’m sure some of these ideas will help you!

  And if all else comes to fail, ramble or use your friend… the backspace key! Those two ways always work :)

He Wants to Love You...

 
I'm back ! After being out of the blogging world for so long, It feels a little bit weird to be back in the rounds with it again :)
 I want to thank  joyfullgirl for doing a guest post while I was gone and giving you all a heads up of why I was gone :)And now, little miss Sarah is back .
   As I come back to the world of blogging, I feel refreshed, encouraged, rejuvenated, along with many other things. But most importantly, I feel that I am stronger in my faith with Christ . While I was detained from this little blog, I found answers I had been searching for . For a long time, I was dealing with some things that were affecting my walk with God . During the time I was gone, I went to a Bible conference with some friends . At the conference I found some of my questions starting to be answered . But, It wasn't until on the drive back home did I find assurance and the rest of my questions answered . On the car ride home, I started talking to my close friends about the conference...That conversation led into me talking about my questions and problems.That whole ride, my friends gave me guidance, reassurance, and helped me to find the answers . Now, I feel built up in my faith . I feel God's arms wrapped around me...holding me secure . My love for Him is growing and the will to serve Him . Yes, I still have those moments where I feel like I'm in the depths of despair, but I know I will never slip from HIS grip .

Do you feel God's arms around you ? Do you know for sure that he'll never let you slip from His grasp ? Do you believe that God died just especially for you...And that he was thinking of you while he was dying on the cross ? If you don't...Believe ! Because all of this is true! God loves you more than you can ever imagine . And He wants YOU . Believe in Christ...He's waiting for you with arms strecthed out wide, with love that is overflowing .

skipping through wildflowers (guest post)


First off, I will end the conundrum of why your dear Sarah isn't posting. Normally, one would think Wisconsin is a nice little northern state, known for it's cold weather and mild storms (storms in Wisconsin are very mild compared to those in Texas).

I'll have you know, on one of these "mild" thunderstorms, our dear Sarah was sitting nicely in her house. And to her shock (literally) the house was hit by lightening.

Let's just say, she's fine, but Mr. Computer seemed to take the shock too hard, and thus the burial will be tomorrow.

Skipping through wildflowers, on a summer day. Running through rain showers, when it turns to gray.


When everything is a summer day, we tend to skip and laugh and have a fantabulous time. But when things turn gray, our life seems to go upside down with it - and we let it stay that way.

Hear ye, Hear ye,
Lest you wish for body sore,
Beware the ogre inside the door

I tend to be grumpy. The above poem I composed to put on the sewing room door, lest I be disturbed. I like to dub grumpy people, "grumpcakes" - - you don't want a slice of them. Their cousin is "Oh, I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Whiner." 



Think about it. There's no excuse to be down just because things go wrong, if it happens to be raining in your life, just carry an umbrella.




Hello there! My name is Bethany, crafts is my name, boredom and uncreative were my names. You can find me skipping through wildflowers and sewing (photographing too) surrounded by my lovely family and holding a small candle too.

{ The Gift of... }

    Spring is nearly over...
But, spring never leaves us without gifts.

It leaves us with brilliant blossoms that are unique and beautiful.

It leaves us with little baby birds that will continue to sing a new song...
It leaves us with blue skys and sunsets that promise a starry night or a clear day filled with bird's song and soft breezes blowing against our faces .
It leaves us with  joy, new life, memories, inspiration, hope, and numerous other things...
And it leaves with the gift of promise...

That spring will return.


Genesis 8:22...
 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat , and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

{Dream...}

 You can never look at a sunset and not dream.

 I was looking at the beautiful sunset...It was brilliant . The sky was a crystal blue, and then all over the blue there was vibrant pink and blazing orange.  And the purple, had a soft,dreamy look . You couldn't just look at the sunset and turn away...It drew your attention and held it fast. It made you Dream.

                             

 I sat there dreaming...Dreaming of a life that would never come true. Dreaming of my future and perhaps what it would hold. Dreaming of who I might become or what I might accomplish . Dreaming of things that were so wonderful . I sat there dreaming,and pondering, thinking, and wishing...And dreaming once again .

 Dreaming is a something more than just dreaming . It's like being in a little world that no-one else can see...Except for God and you. You can think thoughts that nobody would understand or comprehend, except for God and you . Use your Imagination, talk to God, dream . Because, no-one else will ever know or see...For it's just you and God . Dream.

Dream a little...

{Confessions of a Frustrated Blogger...}

 You know, sometimes blogger can be a real pain...For nearly two weeks I tried to get onto my blogger dashboard...But with no avail .



Sometimes I felt like ripping my hair out, or...




Just smashing my computer to bits and pieces, and  then get a new computer. The idea sounded a bit pleasant...You know, high-speed Internet, all updated, all these cool gadgets on a new computer. Then I realized that I need to be thankful for what I have, no matter how frustrating computers can be sometimes .  So, Let me safely say this...
