In August, a magazine reached out wanting to featu In August, a magazine reached out wanting to feature my DIYโ€™s.  From that moment until just a couple of days ago, I have not stopped thinking, โ€œBut...why me?โ€ And, โ€œSo-and-so deserves this so much more than I do.โ€ โ€‰
โ€‰
But you know what? Iโ€™m not gonna let ME steal my joy over this anymore.โ€‰
โ€‰
What I know for sure is this: Today there are 7 whole pages in GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MAGAZINE filled with the DIYโ€™s in my home. ๐Ÿ˜ญ โ€‰

And the next time you get a blessing for what seems (to you) like no good reason at all, and you start to find yourself questioning why, STOP.  It doesnโ€™t matter why. You got a blessing.  Just go on and enjoy it! God is enjoying it, too. โ€‰

Me on my knees relying on Jesus- the author and finisher of my faith...โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Me calling upon the Alpha and Omega.... โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Me doing what Jesus said to do and casting my cares upon Him... โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Me searching scripture for peace and encouragement and landing on the words of Jesus: โ€œIn this world you will have trouble, but take heart- I have overcome the worldโ€...โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Me doing the hard thing- stopping the spiral and keeping my heart turned to the One who sees the beginning from the end....โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Does not equal me turning a blind eye...โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Does not mean that I didnโ€™t cry bitterly... โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Does not mean that watching people being kindly escorted down the stairs didnโ€™t make me feel jealous...โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
or witnessing people gently having their eyes flushed with bottles of water didnโ€™t make me draw comparisons....โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
or seeing protestors being greeted with smiles and selfies didnโ€™t cause the question, โ€œWhy do they hate us so much?โ€ to spill from my lips. โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
It simply means that when things go badly- despite my tears, anger, jealousy and feelings of hopelessness... โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
that I die to myself and seek the only One who has the final word.  I let Him bandage my wounds -so I can go and help bandage someone elseโ€™s. โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰
Lord, let the bandaging take place.โ€‰โ€‰โ€‰

Well, at least we clean up good. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Swipe for th Well, at least we clean up good. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Swipe for the before (of me ๐Ÿ˜ณand the plant ๐ŸŒฑ) and the horrifying discovery I made - SCALES on my umbrella plant (thankful it was only one plant!). After googling, I found out they werenโ€™t dirt, but actual CREATURES ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. Alas, it looks like we are good. And best believe- I did it all so save this and follow these steps if you ever get them: โ€‰
โ€‰
Take plant to the shower (or outside if itโ€™s not freezing outside). โ€‰
1. Alcohol -wipe down every single leaf and stem with a saturated cotton pad to dissolve and remove- and donโ€™t forget the undersides of the leaves! โ€‰
2. Repeat until you think you got em all. (I used a new pad for each branch)โ€‰
3. Mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil, 1 teaspoon of Dawn and 16 oz of filtered or distilled water in a spray bottle โ€‰
4. Spray down plant with neem oil soap mixture - saturate it! Wipe down every part with a paper towel. Rinse and repeat. โ€‰
โ€‰
Oh- and I know I could have just thrown it out.  But Iโ€™m a plant PARENT and plant parenting isnโ€™t always easy and glamorous! PLUS my epic plant mom mama, Glenda Kay would be watching from Heaven with the biggest side eye of all time if I didnโ€™t try to save this plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Some of her plants are older than me and outlived her, so when in doubt, I do as my mama did! ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿชด โ€‰

Saving my stories to plant highlight!
New Year, New Nails ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฝ Decided to try a litt New Year, New Nails ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฝ Decided to try a little art with my @oliveandjune Obsessed and HZ and it took me wayyy too long ๐Ÿ˜‚. Sooooo did you guys take down the tree yet? Are you a Jan 1, week 1, or is your tree gonna stay up til 2022?  I didnโ€™t want to throw away those dehydrated oranges. You should not keep them more than a year (think sugar, pests, disintegration, moisture, and all the things that could go wrong ๐Ÿ˜ฌ) and no one is gonna want to eat those dusty things, so Iโ€™m sharing what Iโ€™m doing with them in stories. See you there!
