Martha, Martha in the Kitchen

Being Saturated in His Word... Martha in the Kitchen

I am thrilled to announce that I have two new prints up in my etsy shop about Martha...

Why Martha?

I enjoyed reading about Martha in Luke 10:38-42

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 

And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 

But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Martha was excited, she had the Lord in her house! And with people inside her home, she was burdened with so many things to do in getting things and food ready. She was becoming increasingly flustered and frustrated because her sister, Mary, was doing nothing but sitting at Jesus' feet, listening to Him. Martha couldn't contain herself any more and interrupted Jesus and said to Him, "Do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?" but Jesus replied to her "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is *needful* and Mary has chosen that *good* part, which shall NOT be taken from her". 

What was the one good, needful part Mary did? Mary simply sat at Jesus' feet and listened to Him. THAT counts in God's sight - not the many things we do, even though if it's FOR God... God *wants* us to take a time-out (treat ourselves to a date with Jesus at Starbucks) and spend time just listening to Him... 

There are times when I have been so consumed with the Proverbs 31 woman concept, that I feel compelled into busyness... and irritability often shows when we are interrupted... when this happens, we need to put down our priorities and spend quality time with the Lord and our loved ones. 

I have created a print that you can print and put on display in your kitchen, a reminder for us not to be a Martha in our busyness for our family, but to be a Mary in resting, listening and showing appreciation to our Lord and loved ones... 

These two sizes, both PDF's, are available as an Instant Download!

ASL with Letters Font (American Sign Language)

I am thrilled to announce that I have finally created a font that is guaranteed to help you learn the American Sign Language fingerspelling with ease!

The "ASL with Letters" font is unique, as it's an American Sign Language font that includes English letters underneath! See below what it looks like:

 As you (or your child) pick up on reading the American Sign Language alphabet through this font, they will find reading a Deaf person's fingerspelling in real life easier, thanks to this font.

It will also be an awesome addition to your scrapbooking, invitations, labels, cards or design projects! You can also use it as a label to put around in your house for your child to practice identifying and fingerspelling out the items. A great way for practicing on excelling their spelling skills!

Journaling Bible - Meditating on You in My Bed = Peaceful Rest - Psalm 63:6

Meditating on the Lord when we are in bed and about to sleep - is a beautiful thing! I love both Barnes and Clarke's commentary on this verse. If you need Peaceful sleep and peaceful rest, then delight yourselves in the Lord while on your bed. 

Barnes: "I remember thee upon my bed - See the notes at Psa 42:8. That is, when I lie down at night; when I compose myself to sleep. Nothing can be more proper than that our last thoughts, as we sink into quiet slumber, should be of God; of his being, his character, his mercy, his loving-kindness; of the dealings of his providence, and the manifestations of his grace toward us, during the day; and nothing is better suited to compose the mind to rest, and to induce quiet and gentle slumber, than the calmness of soul which arises from the idea of an Infinite God, and from confidence in him. Often when restless on our beds - when nothing else will lull the body to rest, the thought of God - the contemplation of his greatness, his mercy, and his love - the sweet sense of an assurance of his favor will soothe us, and cause us to sink into gentle repose. So it may be - so it will be - when we are about to sleep the long sleep of death, for then the most appropriate thoughts - the thoughts that will best prepare us for that long sleep - will be thoughts of God." 

Clarke: "When I remember thee upon my bed - I will lie down in thy fear and love; that I may sleep soundly under thy protection, and awake with a sense of thy presence and approbation; and when I awake in the night watches, or be awakened by them, I will spend the waking moments in meditation upon thee." 

Upon a request of a friend on Instagram, I made this scripture into a print:

It looks pretty, doesn't it? :) 

Instant downloadable prints and bookmarks of this design is coming up soon! If you are interested, please leave a comment and I'll get to it instead of procrascinating! :)

Journaling Bible - Rejoice, O Young Man in thy Youth - Ecclessiastes 11:9

This verse cheered me when I was young, God is saying, "Go enjoy yourselves, have fun and do what makes you happy!" It is a most liberating blessing from Him in all the days of our youth :) He only cautions us that we do the things that are good, because each one of us will face His judgment after our time on earth is up. Let us do right and be free in enjoying life and being creative! :)

The kitten bookmark is availabe on etsy here for $5

Journaling Bible - For God So Loved the World - John 3:16

Though I had been a believer for years, whenever I thought about the Cross, I knew that I haven't fully grasped His love for me, the full realization of His love still eluded me. Until one day I read John chapter three and kept going back to Jesus' words about Moses and the serpent in verse 14. I decided to go back to the Old Testament and studied this particular event. And finally I realized. The depth of His sacrificial love and how it personally applies to me :)

Journaling Bible - Where Grace Meets Faith - Luke 17:19

Where grace meets faith... things start to move! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. The more we hear of Him, the more our faith is strengthened and we dare to step out and believe... then God meets us halfway :) His love for us is so vast. The evidence? Behold Christ crucified on the Cross!
