Something about me saying I was going to try to not spend extra money in the month of September must have made the devil mad, cuz he has been throwing all kinds of stuff my way. Ha! My friend shared this scripture on instagram this morning and yes, this and so many other truths are what I have been leaning on through this mess. My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm ...

Heart Day Mantel
The rain here today has been refreshing to my soul. It is such a glorious sight and sound!! We were under a tornado watch when I woke up this morning which is always fun, but hey. So, instead of doing the painting I had planned on doing today. I decided to work on some Valentine decor.

Sometimes for me emptiness is good ... Read More about Heart Day Mantel
