Busy, Busy, Busy & a Challenge

Hi all - I am still here... this week has just been real busy....

I don't know if I have shared this with you here, but my husband is
getting ready to deploy. So life can be kind of crazy at times. He
has only been home on the weekends the past month - so are weekends are
real busy as we spend a lot of quality time together as a family!!!
Then since we are so busy, I am kind of tired the 1st of the week....
LOL But I am keeping up with homeschooling and other things....

As you know, I am a new designer at KJOI Studios - so one of my tasks
this week has been loading up my store with my kits.... Have you seen
my brand-new kit....

In The Garden...



I really enjoyed creating this unique kit!!!

Here is a LO I made with it...



So my challenge to you...

Make a LO of a prayer for your children, spouse, friends, family, self, etc. Choose your subject. It can be a simple prayer. This can be a prayer of thanks, prayer of protection, prayer of joy,.... Please leave me a link to your LO in the comments section and I will send you a coupon for a free kit from me. Please email me at digiscraps @ imelville.com (remove the spaces) if you have not heard back from me within a few days. Especially if you are doing this challenge at a later time....

As you do this LO, pray for this loved one. Do you pray daily for your loved one??? Take time today and everyday to lift your loved ones up to the Saviour!!!

Time to Celebrate

We are having a party at KJOI Studios!!!

The Designer Search is finally over, we have a brand
new server, and we are celebrating KJOIs 1st Birthday!
Come join us in all the festivities!!!

Are YOU Ready???

Are YOU Ready???

* With all that is going on with the economy, are you ready???

* With all that is happening in the election, are you ready???

* With winter approaching, are you ready???

* Christmas, Thanksgiving are coming soon, are you ready???


All of these are important things effecting our lives. But even more important than these, are you ready for heaven? If you died today, tomorrow, next week.... would you be ready to meet God??? Do you believe that Jesus - God's Son died in your place for ALL the sins you have commited???

Even if you do not die soon, would you be ready for Jesus to return to take us home with him??? When he returns to take his church with Him, will you go or will you be left behind???

If YOU are sure about your salvation... are you telling others??? Do your friends, co-workers, neighbors - know that you are a Christian??? Are you spreading the good news that Jesus died for their sins???

I personally am planning on doing a LOT more sharing about how GOD loves you!!! I think time might be short and I want everyone I know - to know where I stand before GOD!!!

Will you join me???

Isaiah 38:20

“ The LORD was ready to save me; Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life, in the house of the LORD.”

Matthew 24:44

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

1 Peter 3:15

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

While I live...

Hi all,

While I was doing my Quiet Time with God, one of the verses really popped out at me...

Psalm 146:2

While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing Praises to my God while I have my being.

The Psalmist continued by talking about how God created us - and everything we see. God IS in control. He KNOWS what is going on in our lives. HE LOVES us - He is there for us....s

This is just a neat reminder - to Praise the Lord - no matter what! I am Alive - isn't that a great thing to Praise the LORD for!!!

I am also reminded of the verses in the NT that read - in All things give THANKS to the Lord.... DO we have an "Attitude of Gratitude"? Are we giving praise / thanks to the One who created us??? For all that HE has done and is doing in our lives???

I pray that You and I will PRAISE the LORD ALWAYS!!!
