FAITH bigger than Fear

 Fear holds you back. It holds you from being who you are meant to be.. Who YOU CAN BE..
Why do we fear? What is fear?
 I believe that God did not give us a spirit of fear.. but of love, power, and sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
If we look at that verse.. you will see that fear is a spirit and it is not from God. It is from our enemy to tear us down, to forget what God has done for us and to forget our power in Christ! When we are drowned in Fear we can not love, we are selfish, we can not grow spiritually, and we can not become the person that WE CAN BE. We lose out on blessings, and miracles... Exactly what Satan wants! So the question is how do we conquer fear? Well I am a big believer in the one day at a time method! I believe in prayer, I believe in reading God's word. When you are doing these things you are surrounding your mind and thoughts on things above and on HIS words. So you are less to fall into the fear attack. You have less anxiety and you can look at things with a sound mind.

Now saying that is easier than doing it. I get that we are human, we are sinners, and we fall short everyday. I know that I am the first to recognize my weaknesses. All I am asking is let's take one day at a time and LET OUR FAITH BE BIGGER THAN OUR FEAR! :-)

Another side note that I have learned is.. Most of the things we fear NEVER happen.

Try to enjoy the day!

Simple Joys

It has been a while since I have posted anything and I am feeling all "bloggy" so it is time.. :)

A little about what is new and going on in my life on this pretty Tuesday.. I am currently a stay at home wife (even though I am rarely home), tennis wife (my husband is a tennis pro, so I am out helping him a great deal), and jewelry maker. I stay so busy but would not have it any other way. I am constantly ordering beads, looking up beads, traveling to bead stores and making some fun stuff! If I am not doing that, I am at the tennis courts, playing tennis, or doing paperwork for the pro-shop. It is not a bad gig I must say.. I love it. AND if I am not doing that, I am working on my fitness (mostly PURE BARRE-I will write on that soon), cleaning our place, and just hanging out with my husband as much as possible.

Now to the good stuff :).. A little bit about my title of this blog entry "Simple Joys"..

I posted some pictures a while back about starting to make jewelry..Well, the Lord has taken that and made it in to something special. "Simple Joys" is the name of my jewelry creations! That name popped in to my head one day because I believe in the simple joys of life, and enjoying them to the fullest. I hope when people wear my jewelry, that it will remind them of their own joys. I love all my fans, customers, and stores that carry my line. I am so thankful for all of you! I do put a great deal of passion and thought into each piece and adore seeing it on people! :) I  feel so blessed to love my hobby and to be able to make a little money on the way! I am also so blessed to have a husband that supports me and encourages me. If you get a chance "like' my facebook page and spread the word! Here is a link to my page:

I hope you can enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them! I will try to post more pics and stuff in the near future! Thank you again!

Have a blessed day!
