Naturally, I have always loved and made homemade cards. Not only are they sweet, they are extremely personal -- and I am all about personal! I know this is not for everyone, but for me I find joy in making a card specifically for someone... heck... I just love making things for people in general. My Co-teacher (Connie) at the daycare/pre-school I work at has told me a few times that whenever I am frustrated or having a bad day, I immediately start creating something and a light shines from me. It is so true and it is crazy how we are all wired so differently.
This past weekend was my friend McKenzi's 24th birthday. I really wanted to make her something that represented her spirit and her faith so I hand drew her a little something. I am really glad that God gave me this artistic ability because I love giving gifts -- and because financially I can't afford to give as much as I would like. I'm hoping she really liked it. (**note: I told you the Psalm 91:4 verse would lead into a second post!)

To end today's post I would like to leave you (whoever you are) with a Valentine's Day card (which is not very Valentiney) I came up with on a whim. But first, let me give you the background behind this idea. I have been pondering the concept of love having no boundaries. This idea is so very prevalent in my life at the moment because of the career my sweetheart has chosen. He travels A LOT and there is a big chance we will have to move away from my family and friends so he can really pursue it. If I truly love him and believe in him then I will follow him... to the ends of the earth. PEACE and LOVE my friends... HAPPY (day before) VALENTINE'S DAY!
