{What Do I Know of Holy}: Jesus Came to Abolish Religion

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Thank you for joining us for the final post in our I HATE RELIGION series. Go here to read the previous posts in the series. Have you ever been to a church service and felt like you were simply going through the motions? Maybe you felt out of place. Maybe it was simply a bunch of rituals done over and over again. Maybe you sang the words without really knowing what you were singing. Maybe you repeated...

Here is a most adorable little plant that will go almost anywhere. Simply drill a hole in the center of each cork being careful not to go through the sides or bottom. Next, on the cork place a single initial or small word (mom). On the above I used the citra solv transfer method (you can google that) which I did not really care for as the letters were to light for my liking....

Thrifty Love {link party #29}

It's Thrifty Love time! One of my favorite things about thrift shopping is the opportunity to redo or upcycle things. Something that the someone before you was just done with and instead of going into our landfills they donated to a thrift shop. Donated so I can snatch up! Take this wire basket for example. (I love those little ball feet!) When I picked this up I knew exactly what I wanted to...

{What Do I Know of Holy}: Is Jesus Welcome at Your Church?

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Thank you for joining us today as we continue our I HATE RELIGION discussion, which is based on this incredible video. Let me clarify. I love the church. I love the Bible. And yes, I believe in sin. But if Jesus came to your church, would they actually let Him in? Have you noticed how much time we spend judging others? Does it bother you too? I believe that most people tear others down...

May's "Chosen" Family

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

No comments
Every month we support a new adopting family by donating $10 from every Chosen necklace sold. Worthy of the Prize also donates the entire proceeds from the sales of their Chosen Child Fit Band and Half Loop.

Each family has an entire month to earn, this money is then donated to their adoption agency. For the month of May we have the Dyer Family. There is just over one week left in their month so I thought I'd post this little reminder. If you purchase of one of these products you are also helping a child get a family!

The Dyer Family
(Our names are Matt, Amber, and Brock Dyer. Matt and I have been married for 9 years this summer. Our son is seven years old and looking forward to officially calling himself a 2nd grader in a few weeks. Even more, he can’t wait for the title of “Big Brother”. We were selected on March 30th by an expecting mother who is due at the end of this month in a neighboring state. After seven years we don’t really have any baby stuff left around the house and are on a mad dash to prepare for the arrival of our newest blessing. After two surgeries, a hysterectomy, two failed rounds of IVF with a surrogate, and a broken heart we are so happy to be building an open adoption relationship. While my husband was attending the police academy last summer, several things fell into place for us and we were accepted into our agency. We feel very strongly that this is the road we have been lead to after all of these years. Things have moved very quickly since then and it’s been a roller coaster of emotions! I’m nervous, excited, scared, and about everything in between. On behalf of the three (soon to be four) of us, we thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity.)

You can learn more about this adopting fundraiser at Worthy of the Prize. If you are interested in fundraising with us contact Julie for more info at  worthyoftheprize.julie@yahoo.com.

I did want to pop in for a second to share this free printable that my friend Mary Jo designed for our weekly {Hope...

{What Do I Know of Holy}: It is Finished

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

It. Is. Finished. Jesus cried out when he was on the cross. Our sins have been paid for. The sacrifice has been made. Once and for all. It is done. Don't let anyone tell you any differently. Instead... Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne...
