Thoughtful Reminders

Hello Friends!

There are so many things to say to you! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Many Wishes for 2019! As you might have noticed, I've been hiding out, expanding my sphere of creativity (Weaving wall hangings! Weaving has been a marvelous change for my hands! I love sitting at my blank 'canvas' of threads and slowly designing something I hope ends up beautiful, desirable, and one day, will grace the walls of another home. If you are interested, pop by my Etsy store "W oven In Designs" by Kristi Phillips to see what I've been up to these last few weeks... and if you would like, do some shopping).

I also have been listening more, and trying to talk less. I guess I've always been one to write out of substance rather than write just to entertain. Even in my quiet times, I am thinking of you readers often and asking God what I should share with you. And as I read, I listen, I think, I find myself fighting to remind myself to be thoughtful in what I say, what I think and how I respond to what goes on in life. Call it my stab at a New Year resolution..?

Although writing words has been fewer lately, I want those words I say, the ones I speak to be healthy, holy, and life giving. While we are falling straight through January with amazing speed (like always?), I wanted to encourage your thoughts, your tongue, and your heart to breathe life giving words for yourself and others... even if winter allows you to SEE your breath... brrr!
