Yesterday, my aunt, my moms' sister died unexpectedly. I should say unexpectedly to us but God always knows best, whether we see it or not.<br /><br />I was really sad for alot of reasons but quickly realized, she has gone home to be with God, she will see her mom, her dad, her son, her aunts. She is made whole in God's perfect way and that is an amazing thing.<br /><br />Don't just say you love someone, the bible says, " If your brother or sister crys, you cry, if he or she rejoice, then you rejoice with them. SHow love and be love.<br /><br />So today, rejoice with me, that God is still on the throne, His son, Jesus made a way for us, that all might enter into His glory and for that I am grateful. Change your life today: Pray, read and believe: Romans 10:9.

How did it happen?<br /><br />I fasted, I prayed, I BELIEVED and then I sent an email to the Editor with five designs of my work and they chose two of those designs.<br />I was so excited, I could have passed out.<br /><br />Anyone that knows me, either loves me or hates me. I live out loud, I live in technicolor, I know whose I am, which is a child of the Most High God and I don't try to hide it.<br /><br />I believe that we can do anything we choose to do, if we set our minds to do so. I believe that no and can't are words that come from hell itself.<br /><br />Be bold, be courageous, be prayerful, be patient and then just BE all that God has created you to be.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZLFFzGiXaf18Kz_6URP5qrj793_al7cRqgux8lCBGd8WBB9p7Ul9bcIjriqMR2IUZ2g2oUMM01sNEe_9tXWbOFVVgQHtcvwARhTWzEXUkkpU0MHHRkpsCcciyczhoOo4hTUmp/s1600-h/The+Beaded+Soul+and+Mimi+and+Company+Pics+019.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div></div>The Beaded Soul and Mimi & Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09854987105471276650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36811700.post-6612464935829799862008-08-01T11:11:00.004-04:002008-12-09T04:26:41.885-05:00Bolted Espresso<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyEolEcsSjuJ9aKe5bJLcfIMwP3D5z8OekD7tM0fhIsCnxilnZ3zQqHTxVvx0i9MIBFKezl2Tm2t1B5TYwltspwtPHRioFrwMgZzExbbTL3hLXbgSsagI8A_hMCXlAemg8GRKw/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229567957935325042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyEolEcsSjuJ9aKe5bJLcfIMwP3D5z8OekD7tM0fhIsCnxilnZ3zQqHTxVvx0i9MIBFKezl2Tm2t1B5TYwltspwtPHRioFrwMgZzExbbTL3hLXbgSsagI8A_hMCXlAemg8GRKw/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Good Morning! </div><div></div><div>I have decided to take my work into a new direction, so if you follow along with me through this progression, you will see :Greater Detail and Higher Quality..</div><div> </div><div> I have been called to excellence by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my work should reflect that.
