🌷Bethany Joy Lenz's Fashion in “Just My Type” on the Hallmark Channel🌷

Spring Fling on the Hallmark Channel is finally here! I know many of us need some distractions right now, and watching the premiere this weekend on the Hallmark Channel plus Christmas movies on both stations, will be an inviting change!

I love Spring... flowers blooming, spring fashion, warmer temps, and celebrating Easter. I know things may be different, but I believe this movie just might be the type that will give us all 2 hours of family time together, laughter, and sweet moments! So, sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy Hallmark’s first Spring Fling movie of 2020... "Just My Type!" Make this time of togetherness special!

Finding Comfort & Joy in Jesus... My Prayers, Thoughts, & Hope for Today!

I have been wanting to share with you all my typical lifestyle and fashionable posts, but wasn’t sure how to go about it and address what everyone is going through. I am struggling to share what I love, but in the same time, I believe it will help me and I hope you as well to deal the with feelings we all are having now. Just setting this post up, reminds me of what I enjoy... sharing and doing for you all, and I am so happy I can do that! It is a welcome distraction, hopefully for you too! I will continue to share my typical posts but in way that might bring you some joy that day, but also not forgetting and staying aware of what we are all facing together!

I will continue to be praying for our leaders, our country, our workers, military, police, doctors and nurses... and especially the ones infected by this nasty virus. They are all needing all the support they can get and God’s protection and healing!

I just saw this week a story of a young man, 25 year old Jack Allard, who is fighting for his life against this virus. This story really hit me hard. He was a healthy, young, and very active man before this hit him. We had been told the young were not at risk by the doctors. Being in that age bracket, myself, I believed I was not as in much danger, but after seeing this story of his mother pleading for help... it show me the reality and dangers of this virus. Please be praying for Jack and so many others that are fighting for their lives right now!

How we experience life right now is so different and I am choosing to rest in the hope of JESUS to guide, protect, heal and give us strength in the storm of this virus.

It is so hard to see and hear of the lives lost and the general disruption and toll this is doing to our country. I have waves of different feelings, like I am sure many of you do... and that is ok, God understands and wants us to lean on Him Always!

I tried to stay informed but sometimes it can be too much and quite overwhelming. As my Momma always says... You don’t want your head in the sand. She is so right, it is good to be informed and keep up to date, but in the same time she also has told be to find Joy. Taking a break from all this is needed sometimes, and I plan to share content on It’s A Wonderful Lifestyle that might bring you that, JOY...my hope is that it does! I also want to continue to share God’s Word, for I believe it will and can bring encouragement, especially right now! God is listening, please talk and walk with Him... even though we are in insolation, let’s not isolate ourselves from God, but drawer closer to Him! Take comfort in Jesus! I love the song "Joy" by For King & Country. I try to listen to it everyday and crank it up as loud as I can and remind myself... The Joy of the Lord is My Strength-Nehemiah 8:10

Watch & Listen Below to "Joy" by For King & Country.

I also wanted to share a few devotionals that might be helpful to you. Devotionals are so wonderful, when you just need a quiet moment with Jesus. Right now, He is just wanting us to draw closer to HIM!

~Blessings for the Day to Encourage your Life~

Our family, has chosen to read Psalms 91 each day and I hope you can as well.

Psalm 91

1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ^a

2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

9If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10no harm will overtake you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

11For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

12they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14“Because he ^b loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him

and show him my salvation.”

It’s is such a blessing to know we’re all in this together, even though we are apart right now!

God's Blessings & Protection Always! Be Safe!

Spring Cleaning Products, Tips & More... How to Protect Yourself and Your Family!

Spring Cleaning is upon us, and this year with the threat of the coronavirus you might be more incline then ever to clean from top to bottom and then all over again. Become a cleaning machine! I don’t mean that your house needs to be spic and span, rather; be diligent and disinfect the objects and surfaces you touch on a regular basis, from your electronic devices, light switches, counter tops, and all doorknobs... including your car!

As our nation faces this together, we must support our President and his leadership in the decisions that have been made, and most of all Trust the Lord to keep us safe! I know I usually share fashion on my blog, and that is great, but the opportunity to share with you and maybe calm your fears was weighing heavy on my heart. Your fashion style is important and it feels good to pretty on the outside, but being anxious on the inside brings on anxiety and worry, which brings down your immune system. Jesus is what we all need now! So, fix your eyes on HIM and not the “fake news” and HE will carry us all through this! HE is always steadfast and if we all stand in faith, HE will heal our land!

Just open your hearts to HIM today and give it all to Him! I have always heard cleanliness is next to Godliness. Well, as a nation as we are striving to keep things clean, let us all stand with God and ask HIM to cleanse and renew our hearts, pray for revival during this time we face, and pray many come to know the Lord! Even if we are staying home and not venturing out places, we as Christians can Share the good news of Jesus with all on social media! Share Jesus Today and Live Your Faith!

Wash Your Hands & say Your Prayers, Because Jesus and Germs are Everywhere Wood Sign

********************************************************

Here are some great things to do each day to support a healthy wonderful lifestyle.

1. Washing your hands with basic natural soap.
2. Getting movement everyday, even if it’s just a walk.
3. Sleeping for at least 8 hours each night by not staying up late surfing and reading all the bad news!
4. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid Sugar...this brings down the immune system. Live Food is Best!
5. Stock up bottled water, non-perishable foods, and natural cleaning products!
6. Keeping your distance from others...this is not rude just smart!

I know many of you may have some of these cleaning items or staples in your homes already...great, but if not, below are just some of my suggestions. I always use organic and natural products, such  as white vinegar to clean my home. I have researched and vinegar can tackle household bacteria like salmonella, E. coli and other “gram-negative” bacteria. 

I normally use a 1-1 ratio of vinegar and water. Soak & spray wipe things down and then I use natural liquid soap as well to clean! I also drink Apple Cider Vinegar diluted in water every day... so good for the immune system. Hopefully, you will find some of these tips and products helpful.

Watching Movies together is great fun...as my family gathered around the TV to hear the President speak the other night, it reminded me of reruns I watch of The Walton's. They would always gather around the radio back then to hear the current news. I feel that this situation in some ways has united us again.

**************************************************

I recently saw a message that contemporary Christian Artist Natalie Grant shared on social media, and it is so true.

"With all the panic, fear and hysteria happening at the moment, the word of God is still our best guide. I read this today. Don’t give in to fear.
So take appropriate precautions, use wisdom, wash your hands and TRUST GOD.
Because we are the people of God. The world is freaking out. Let’s not join them. Instead, let hope, not fear, be what marks our lives.
And when people ask you about the confidence you have in this moment, seize every opportunity, and share the hope and peace found only in Jesus. No better time than the present." I believe Natalie is trying to remind us just like her song says...Jesus is the King of the World, and let us not forget that! He Holds Us All!

DaySpring has many items that will shine a light on trusting God in every circumstance.

See Below and Be Blessed!

So, I also wanted to share a song I heard on KLOVE radio today, by The Afters, and some scriptures that are my go to for peace. Did you know that there are 365 scriptures about fear in the Bible... one for every day of the year,  and our God has given us these to help with anyone with anxiety and fear, if we just cast our cares upon Him!

***The Afters-I Will Fear No More***

I also love to listen to American Family Radio (AFR). It is a wonderful outlet for a Christian perspective of the lateset news and issues. Here is a LINK to their website.

Blessings for the Day to Encourage your Life

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

Matthew 6:25-27

I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Psalm 55:22

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1-2

In His Care...Blessings,
