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 :)

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest
