The day after....

Ahhhhhh.... so last night was wonderful in church! To unwind and unload all of your cares & be in His presence, surrounded by corporate worship.... peace comes.... yielding anew to trust in Him.... a knowing that He loves me....
........ then comes - THE DAY AFTER!!! It's early morning, I'm alone, cleaning, laundry.... paying bills, a thousand thoughts bombarding your mind.... what are you gonna do? The choice is mine to make.
How often the weight of the pressing circumstances have completely frozen me and taken my breath away! The choice is mine...
Today I choose my focus, and even after I choose I will have to stand my ground! I choose joy.... then I will have to fight to keep it.... to maintain peace and not be breathless. I'll choose wisely the words that I let penetrate my heart today. I'll choose to put my praise on and feed my hungry heart with teaching. I'll choose to create & paint today.
Yes, last night I went to church, but in reality, I AM the church. Jesus inhabits my heart....  I am not alone! I am not an orphan! The very One that created the heavens & the earth crafted me with His hands! I am His workmanship! I choose joy!
I hope you can also choose joy today! You know the Father himself LOVES YOU!!! No matter where you've been or where you are now.... He's IN LOVE with YOU!!! With the very gift of breath that He gives us today, let us use it to call upon Him & give Him praise today!

New beginnings.... come follow along!

Hey, you found me..... great!!!

Some of you know that I used to blog under the name of Renewing Your Find, and it was all about renewing, painting & re-purposing furniture & home decor. Well, I still operate my business under that name & you can follow the page link to hook up on facebook with me. And here I am back up and running this new blog "All domestic... all the time" & I'm really excited!!

Thanks for coming along with me on this journey that will be all inclusive of my home decor business, furniture for sale, painting workshops you can take along with other creative classes. I am working out the details that you can even be the Host of a painting or other creative class in your home.... inviting your friends & family for a fun time being creative. I have lots to load of past & current photos & projects, so keep checking in!

All domestic also includes anything that we deal with from day to day living & the ups and downs that we experience. Navigating thru the obstacles, victory stories, and even worse than Pinterest fails... REAL LIFE fails! You know, the behind the scenes stuff that you don't always see when reading all the "happy" posts on facebook! I'm am not the "woe is me" type and I'm not into a big gripe sessions, but sometimes letting others know that things aren't always hunky dory, it can help put things in perspective. WE ALL HAVE STRUGGLES.....WE NEED ONE ANOTHER!!! I have never been good at reaching out to ask for help... this is an understatement!!! I would prefer to encourage you, and I'll be strong & tell you "I'm fine!" So, from time to time I will share some struggles in hopes that it might encourage you that you are not struggling alone and so we can join together and share some insights into victory!

Oh... and I forgot to mention that I LOVE a good quote! So I leave you with this & wish for you a fabulous day!! Tam
