WHAT DOES YOUR MASK SAY ABOUT YOU?




mask - concealing thing: something that conceals or disguises something else, for example, true motives or feelings

Masks are things that we wear sometimes to hide from other people, and sometimes to hide from ourselves.
Sometimes we wear so many masks that when we take one off, there is another one right behind it. Often times, we have so many different masks, that we don't really know who we are so we become that which we wear.
We hide behind these masks…when asked a question from a friend or family member; do you answer with the real you? Or are you answering through the mask? Do you ask yourself, “how should I answer this question so that they don’t feel differently towards me?”
Sadly we feel the need to impress others, so we are afraid to be ourselves in front of people.
We short-change ourselves into thinking we need these masks to be accepted and loved.

Is your mask still present when you approach God? God already knows us and he requests for us to be real with him.
God uses our weaknesses to build our strengths.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Our weakness not only helps develop Christian character; it also deepens our worship, because in admitting our weakness, we affirm God’s strength.
Reading the story of Moses, we find that it was the "weakness" that God used, not the strength.
When we come to God with our masks on, we are delaying what God wants to do in us.
When we come to worship the Lord that is what we are there to do, worship our Lord. We have to take that mask off and come to Him openhearted, with nothing in the way
Sometimes we may have a fear about removing that mask, afraid that God will not like us without it. Let me assure you that God loves you. He loves you for who you are, not what you can do. He knows you inside and out, and loves you, His creation, and desires to fulfill His will in you.
There comes a time when we must remove the mask, and stand before God.
Are you ready to take the mask off? God is waiting to see you!

DIY Family Sign

So I had an old ugly pallet on the side of my house…I saw some really nice signs on Pinterest but did not want to fork out as much as suggested. So my creative juices began to flood my head. So much that in the middle of the night I would wake up and have to write my ideas down so I wouldn’t forget them! Lol!! My husband and I pulled all the nails out of the pallet. I began sanding the pieces I thought would look nice after being stained. I utilized pieces that had old nail holes to give it that rustic worn look. After sanding I chose the stain that I had pictured in my head…I put only one coat of stain on as I was going for a not perfect or new piece of art. After this dried I used T shaped brackets to connect the three pieces of wood. I utilize free fonts all the time!! In my Power Point Program I create the type size and font styles, print them on card stock paper and then cut them out like a stencil. I then positioned everything where I wanted it and bega...

The Key to a Woman's Heart...

The key to a woman's heart is when He studies her; He hears her when she’s silent; He anticipates her needs and fulfills them joyfully; He embraces her with all his being, yet gives her free reign to be herself; He provides for her needs because it’s a priority in His life; He loves her because he knows, no other way; He accepts her flaws because that’s what keeps her unique; He gazes upon her and smiles because He knows He’s blessed by her presence…jus some morning thoughts.
