Scripture of the Week: Matthew 5:14-16

Good Morning Everyone :)


I'm beyond excited to be coming to you all today with a new feature on my blog.


The last few weeks I've been feeling really down from all of the craziness that exists in the world, and constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough to spread the word about God's love and gift of redemption through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I spent a lot of time in prayer about this, and I was lead to the idea of starting a fourth post on my blog each week, a post where I'll be sharing a scripture that has encouraged me through my week and that will hopefully do the same to you.

I'm going to be posting these each and every Thursday, and I hope by doing so that it will help someone else find the motivation they need in His word.

I happened to be on The Light Blonde  the other day looking at new t-shirts in their store, and I ended up reading about the story of how their business first got started.

I loved how the lovely lady behind the business was inspired by Matthew 5: 14-16, and after reading those passages once again, I knew they were the perfect choice to start off this new blogging venture.

Matthew 5: 14-16:

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."


I love these verses so much, and I love the fact that they really put into perspective what is being asked of us as Christians. We need to let our light shine through, and be a reason for others to want to come and know Christ. As Avalon says, "the world will wonder why if You and I will shine His light."

Let's all shine a light for Jesus today in a world becoming more and more clouded with darkness.


Enjoy the rest of your day, and God Bless :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
