I had to get emotional.
Because while I’m doing all the business, and the planning, and the painting, I’m thinking about the heart behind why I do what I do.
I read your comments about our soon-to-be shop, and I get all emotional. I get a little weepy, even.
I had a friend once who told me that if we hold our hands open, God will continually place blessings inside it…and if we’re brave enough to leave them open, we continue to pour out His blessings on to others.
That’s what we’ve always wanted our home to be. Hospitable, Purposeful.
That’s what I want our blog to be….and the shop to be.
And to semi-quote my friend, Nester, our shop won’t just be there for the stuff.
Our shop will be there to serve people. Amen.
P.S. If you aren’t reading Nester’s 31 Days and Edie’s 31 Days, you should head over to both places. Now.
I love everything what you do. God bless you
your children are such cuties! your shop is going to be wonderful not only because of the beautiful merchandise but because of the heart, soul, and people behind it. i don’t live nearby but i do hope to make it down there to visit! 🙂
So beautifully stated! I can’t wait to see the ways that God will use this shop!! 🙂
Oh I was planning a trip today…when will you reopen?…
and you are correct, brave hearts seek God. …and they will see Him.
Blessings on you!!
Shaunna, I have long since been impressed with your creativity AND motivation. Sometimes it’s easy to have one, but difficult to maintain both. Thank you for your heart. Two things I have always kept close to mine: “When you release what’s in Your hand, God will release what’s in His” and “What you do for others, God will do for you.”
Be blessed today as you walk with Him. :0)
Your SO right! It’s amazing what a Mothers heart that’s full of our Saviors wisdom and love can do. We CAN do it all with his help and the right heart!
Love the hands quote! God has placed a Blessing on his children, when we are blessed and live with that blessing there is favor all around us . You have been chosen to spread that word simply by your works and having a faithful heart. You will change many souls… Good job girl! Keep those hands open!
Can I tell you how absolutely, positively PROUD I am of you!! Love getting to see you investing your blessings and sharing your fruit!! Love you and can not wait to get to see you, shop with you and just get inspired hanging out with you in the shoppe!
very inspiring!!!
Inspiring post!
Your so right… I had a store for years. I tried to be there for my own children
every afternoon after school, but during the day- it was not unusual for one
of my clients to come in, start a conversation then end up asking me for my
imput – to help confirm this or that. Or occasionally for them to actually ask
for me to remember them in prayer for a situation they were facing !
True Joy… I miss that and the smiling faces that I knew to be some of the most
wonderful women in the world. As you give, you also Receive 🙂
