New Year... New Post ... New Inspiration

Happy Monday. It's nice to be back after a long Christmas break. I have been posting to my LTK shop during the holidays but took a short break from my blog. You can check out my LTK HERE to see what I have been posting—lots of fashions seen in Hallmark movies!

I can't believe the holidays are over, and we are back to a normal week. This is nice in some ways, but I miss all the magic the season brings.

So, what should I post this new year? I listened to our local Christian station this morning, and they talked about how today, Jan 6th, feels like the start of the new year. One said it was just another Monday morning, but the other stated something that stuck with me. A fresh new year and the start of a new week, the dreaded Monday as many would say, but he said to think of it this way... 52 Mondays of new sunrises, 52 Mondays of growing closer to God, 52 Mondays full of possibilities and promises, and 52 Mondays of sharing more time with family and friends.

Well, this inspired me to bring more of God into our home this year, with Bible Study together, decorating with Inspiring Home Decor, and more!

Our family is diving into the Book of Mark to start this new year. We have been following this Bible Study for a while, enjoying the explanations and digging deeper into each chapter we read. Click HERE for this incredible Bible Study.

Below, you will find some Inspiring Home Decor & More.

Blessed New Year 2024!

Happy New Year, everyone! As we look to a new year and season full of so many opportunities, I think of my hopes and dreams, especially my prayers for 2024. I pray for God's peace, hope, and joy for you all in this new year HE has blessed us with! And for each of us to see the life-changing message of God's love. Christmas may be over and tucked away until next winter, but we can open our hearts to celebrate Jesus all year long!

Our family always likes to take DaySpring's Word of the Year Quiz to find our 2023 Word of the Year - just one word to help us focus on what God calls us to accomplish in the year ahead. My word for the year was Trust, which reminds me of an old hymn dear to my heart...

Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey

Oh, Trust and obey, for there's no other way To be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey

And 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus Just to take Him at His Word, Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh, for grace to trust Him more.

With Scripture, God gives us the answers we crave as we cling to HIS hope. So, let's turn to HIS Word as we focus on a direction for the next twelve months rather than resolutions that only last a few days. Let's look to the Lord for help to live our faith in 2024.

If you want to take Dayspring's Word of the Year Quiz - CLICK HERE.

Dayspring also has many things that can bring inspiration to our homes after December and into the new year; even a few simple changes to your home décor can bring more joy and peace to our hearts and our families!

I heard this new song yesterday on KLOVE from Katy Nichole, "My God Can." This song reminds us even though we might not be able to conquer all, there is still hope in Jesus! So, when we feel weak, God is strong! God never fails! With God, all is possible; when we can't, God can! The song is based on Phillipian 4:13. So, as we approach this new year, when we face different things and think I can't, know that God can! Please enjoy this new video from Katy Nichole below.

Happy Blessed New Year, Everyone!

The Purrfect Back to School Fall Fashion & Inspiring Supplies For Little Girls🏫

For many families, August is the start of a new school year. The back-to-school list can be long whether your child attends school or is homeschooled. I remember always looking forward to shopping with my parents and siblings for new outfits, finding those little faith-filled extras that made the first day back special, and taking God with us each day!

I can’t believe how cute these new fall arrivals for little girls are this season. From kittens to florals and classic pieces, there’s nothing like these fresh fall hues to brighten up their day. These pieces are just adorable; I wish they came in adult sizes. If you’re looking for fall-style inspiration for your little girls and faith-filled school essentials, check out my latest picks below! Back to school is a great time to embrace their style, fun, and the anticipation of new beginnings for the upcoming school year!

Before each school day, our family would gather, pray, and cover ourselves with the Armour of God! What a blessing that was.

Have a Blessed Day, Everyone!

Inspiring Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day is just around the corner, and if you are like me, it is always tough to come up with some creative yet practical items for him. We are farmers, so that usually means a tool will be a great gift, but I always like to find something inspiring as well. So, I am sharing with you all some great gift ideas for him from DaySpring.

God created fathers for a good reason. Fathers are the inspirational pillars of our life. They protect us, feed us and take care of us. My Daddy is a farmer and figurately he not only feeds our family but the world. And when I was little, I thought my Daddy had the most important job of feeding everyone, not just us. So, in my eyes, my Daddy was the best and biggest! He had a lot to do every day to provide for us, and he never complains. My Daddy trusts our heavenly Father daily with our land and crops, which has taught me to lean on God for everything. My Daddy has always been a strong, patient man that works hards from dawn to dusk to provide for us, and what a gift that has been. I know I can always lean on my Daddy and know he can fix anything, just like our heavenly Father. We are to trust Him in everything, and He will answer. Thank you, Lord, for giving my siblings and me such an amazing father...I love you, Daddy!

Below is a round-up of some great gifts, all available at DaySpring!

Today, I want to share a sweet poem by May Patterson. May wrote this poem for her Dad for Father's Day, and he says it's the best Father's Day gift he's ever received. I hope it blesses you as much as it did me.

So God Made a Father: A Moving Father's Day Poem by May Patterson
And God looked down on all He had made and said, "I need a caretaker."
So, God made a father.
God said, "I need someone to take children fishing and play catch in the backyard. It must be someone who is tough enough to wield a chainsaw and yet, gentle enough to join his little girl and her dolls for tea.
I need someone to bring the car around when it's raining, so everyone else can stay dry. Someone who will keep jumper cables in his truck, just in case. I need someone to notice practical things, like how the tread on the tires is wearing and if the weather stripping around the front door needs replacing, for no one else will.
Yes, he will struggle to find his socks and keys. But I'll help him find time for the important things, like tumbling with the kids on the den floor, saying, 'I' m proud of you, son,' or giving Mama a hug.
I need someone to provide for the family. Someone who will get up early and stay up late and never complain.
I need someone who's willing to make unpopular decisions and stand by them. Someone to provide authority and discipline, as well as love.
I need someone who listens more than he talks. Who will stand by his family through laughter and tears, tornadoes and snowstorms, good times and bad? Someone who will love his kids and love their mother even more.
I need someone who is willing to carve the Thanksgiving turkey, for no one else seems to want the job.
I need someone who is not afraid to go into Grandma's dark cellar or to check on what goes bump in the night or to remove the dead mouse from the mousetrap.
I need someone with broad shoulders, broad enough to carry a little child around town and broad enough to pull more than his fair share.
I need someone strong enough to open the tight seal of a jelly jar. Someone who is tall enough to put the angel on top of the Christmas tree. And yet, I need someone who is gracious enough to let his son fish the best fishing hole or to let his daughter win at least one hand of gin rummy.
Yes, I need someone who is willing to work the second shift, or take second best, or play second fiddle so that his family can have it better than he did. I need someone who is willing to man up and provide the love, support, and strength his family will so desperately need."
So, God made a father.

Happy Father's Day!

Nea

Get the Look: The Blessing Bracelet from the Original DaySpring Hallmark Movie

DaySpring teamed with Hallmark Movies & Mysteries to bring another all-new movie to life! The Blessing Bracelet first premiered Easter Sunday and now will be airing for the 1st time on The Hallmark Channel this Sunday, June 4th. In the movie, Amanda Schull's character restores her faith and renews her belief in love by creating these bracelets. If you haven't seen it yet, you should; it was such an inspiring movie showing that just wearing a simple bracelet can remind us what we are grateful for and blessed by. The bracelet is just a piece of jewelry, but acknowledging what you are thankful for while wearing it, can lift your spirit. Beauty meets function when this blessing bracelet is used as a reminder to thank God for 4 things daily! Counting our Blessings brings Joy!

I immediately ordered the Blessing Bracelets for myself and for gifts. They are so lovely and so comfortable to wear. Just looking down and seeing that bracelet is a beautiful way to stay present in gratitude. They are dainty, elegant but casual as well. I have enjoyed wearing these and giving them to others. No pun intended, but it was a blessing to give these to my family and friends. Add more prayer to your life with a lovely reminder. The Blessing Bracelet serves as a daily (or multiple times a day) reminder to stop and thank God for 4 things you already have.

A little gratitude can change the day’s attitude. This stretch bracelet features gold or silver channels and four beads. Plus, there are several other new styles as well! A great accessory for any outfit and any heart.

I just wanted to share these Bracelets with you all again because they are truly a blessing and a great reminder of God's Grace that He gives us each day! A meaningful gift for graduation, weddings, birthdays, showers, family, friends, and yourself!

Inspiring Mother's Day Gifts

Mother's Day is less than 2 weeks away, and so I wanted to share with you all some inspiring gift ideas for them. DaySpring has some lovely & fun pieces that will show her how much she is loved.

God created mothers because he could not be present everywhere. Mothers are so special because they are an extension of God. They work around the clock without any complaints to keep us happy. Mothers are one of the sweetest gifts from God to us. They are so unique and super special in their own loving way. I know my Momma has always been my constant... always doing for me and my siblings and being there for everything! As Proverbs 1:8 & 29:15 teaches us, mothers are to point children toward Christ by praying for them, modeling faith and character, and training them in wisdom. And my Precious Momma did that for us; she gave all of herself to make us happy everyday and she teached us and guided us to know Jesus, and I am so grateful! I can't give her enough for what she did for us, it is immeasurable! She is my best friend, and I love her so much!

Below is a round-up of some wonderful gifts all available at DaySpring!

~Blessings for the Day ✞o Encourage your Life~

Today, I thought I would share with you all some of my favorite actors, actresses, athletes, and tv personalities books & devotionals. They are all available on Amazon. 

A good range of reads for children, teens, and adults to choose from, and all Amazon Prime, too!

Shop Here for Candace Cameron Bure Books on Amazon

⧫Candace Cameron Bure - known for many of her Hallmark movies and now upcoming Great American Family movies... can't wait! We all grew up with her on Full House, solved plenty of her mysteries in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries Series, and enjoyed her in many Christmas movies, my favorites are A Shoe Addicts Christmas and Christmas Town. She has many books, apparel, and home decor that she has done with DaySpring and they are available at the Dayspring Amazon Store. See Below.

Shop Here for Danica McKellar Books on Amazon

⧫Danica McKellar - many know her as Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years and her many Hallmark Movies. It is exciting to see what she has in store with her new adventure with Great American Family. My favorite movies of hers are Crown for Christmas & Love and Sunshine. Danica's children's book shows her great interest in math. Her clever storylines help children read and learn math at the same time. Her books add up to be a great addition to your children's collection.

Shop Here for Carlos & Alexa Penavega's Books on Amazon

⧫Carlos & Alexa Penavega - are such an inspiring Christian couple. I have so enjoyed seeing them work together in several movies on Hallmark. My favorites would have to be Love at Sea & Picture Perfect Mysteries. They both exude joy and God's love in their work. Their new book together What If Love Is The Point, shows us how to live for Jesus today, and they have a children's book based on their sons, which will be available in October. They have such a sweet family and I pray God blesses them with all their adventures!

Shop Here for Sadie Robertson Huff's Books on Amazon

⧫Sadie Robertson Huff - such a fun & bubbly personality that shares the light of Jesus wherever she goes. Sadie grew up before our eyes on Duck Dynasty. Our family never missed it; we loved watching together. I believe that show gave Sadie the platform she has today. She shares her faith in Jesus with others in many of her devotionals and motivational books. Sadie also has had the opportunity to act in several family-friendly movies as well. My favorite would have to be God's Not Dead 2.

Shop Here for Kevin & Sam Sorbo Books on Amazon

⧫Kevin & Sam Sorbo - lovely Christian couple who are strong in their faith and conservative values. I remember seeing their whole family on the Home & Family show. You could see they were and are such a sweet and loving family. Sam has homeschooled all of her children, which is such a blessing with what is happening today in our schools. I was homeschooled myself, and I loved it! Kevin & Sam have collaborated on several books about their faith, beliefs, and homeschooling. Kevin has starred in many Christian-based films, my favorites would be...God's Not Dead & What If.

Shop Here for Joanna Gaines Books on Amazon

⧫Joanna Gaines - a talented designer, family-oriented, Christian. Joanna and her Husband Chip are known for the Fixer Upper Series & now their own Magnolia Network. I love watching both of them turn nothing into something wonderful. My interior design tends to lean towards the farmhouse classic looks, so I enjoy watching their shows. In Joanna's book, she shares her home design and favorite recipes for gatherings. She has 2 sweet children's books, as well.

Shop Here for Megan Alexander Books on Amazon

⧫Megan Alexander Host & Executive Producer of the UPtv's Series Small Town Christmas. I loved watching this series last year and seeing Christmas celebrated all across the country. She has now written a children's book inspired by that very show... The Magic of a Small Town Christmas! The story and illustrations in this book just bring the spirit of Christmas alive! Megan is the author of two other books, as well, that shares her faith in Jesus. Megan has also acted in several movies... my favorites are God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness & Christmas in Tune.

Shop Here for Tim Tebow Books on Amazon

⧫Tim Tebow - he is strong, athletic, and has the most giving heart. Recently, to celebrate his 35th birthday, he held a Protect Them fundraiser to fight human trafficking. Tim is an Athlete, Producer (Run the Race), and his great mission is his Tebow Foundation, helping bring Faith, Hope, and Love to those in need. A Big Guy with a Big Heart for God, using his voice to fight for many. Tim is an athlete who stands for Jesus; we need more just like him. Tim has written several inspiring Devotionals & Children's Books, which look adorable, all about Bronco the dog and his friends.
