Handcrafted Heart

The reality of the Christian life is not in the thing we focus on not doing. It lies in our focus on Christ and the Kingdom. We often worry about sin management and make the devil way bigger than the he is. It’s time we get up out of the judgement seat and step into our right places as Sons and Daughters #christianlife #christianity #Jesus #god #faith #judahsmith #hope #kingdom #lifequotes #qotd #sonsanddaughters (at Eureka, California)

This year I have made it one of my goals to remove pettiness and all forms of unwholesome talk and anything that is not edifying from my lips. If I truly want family it be the foundation of my life anything less than pure motive, wholesome speech and love is falling short. I want to seek connection above all, first with my Heavenly Father then with those around me. #kingdom #family #god #jesus #connectioniskey #community #bssd #church #elevation #qotd (at Eureka, California)

Maple glazed pecan encrusted pork with sweet potato and green beans. That’s how we do lunch. #lunch #goodeats #healthy #mylife #lunchisserved #yum #chef

Far too often we want to reach our goals and we keep moving thinking the environment is the problem, when in reality we haven’t tended to what is inside us. We must first become rooted in God, in our community and church and then once we have become planted and stable then and only then will sustainable growth take place. #elevationchurch #bethel #bssd #faith #god #jesus #plantyourseed #church #christianity #qotd (at Eureka, California)

Part of my adventure is attending Bethel School of Supernatural Discipleship in Eureka California. I am a second year student. I currently have $420 to raise towards my remaining balance by January 31 to remain in school. If you’d like to help donate or support my schooling and calling in life please DM me. #bssdcoast #fundraising #jesus #god #faith #bssd #funding #mylife #church #bethel #qotd # (at Eureka, California)

As artists every time we create something we are exposing an intimate piece of ourselves to the world and allowing for the world to express its thoughts, feelings, and opinions on that piece of us. Artists are some of the most courageous people I know and I am proud to be one myself. #artistsoninstagram #art #qotd #courage #god #faith #personal #pieceofme #hope (at Eureka, California)

This is one of my personal mottos. If I stop working on a project, a piece of art, my life, who I am as a person before I am proud I am selling myself drastically short. So I keep going until I am #proud #hardwork #persistence #mylife #qotd #keepgoing #god #artistsoninstagram #motto #onestep #hope #pride (at Eureka, California)

Far too often when we listen to others we are listening to reply not to learn from them and their experiences. We want to explain to them why they are wrong and we are right. We all experience things differently and if we took the time to truly listen and understand we might begin to see things through the eyes of another person. I cannot begin to tell you the number of times I have been attacked and told I am wrong because my experience with something or someone is different than someone else all because they weren’t listening to hear but to reply. We as a culture and a society do not want connection we want to be right and if we truly want a better world connection must be the first goal. #connection #listen #listentohear #God #community #faith #family #jesus #qotd #powerinourwords #openears #cometogether #openhearts #christianity #faith #mylife #goals #instaquote (at Eureka, California)

We live in a world that is attracted to beauty. While I work in the field of style and beauty I start with building a foundation of communication and relationship with each client. We as a culture need to learn the value of connection and relationship it is what we are created for. #tomford #connection #relationships #qotd #communication #community #faith #foundations #stylist #mua #fashion #mylife (at Eureka, California)

Somewhere our idea of what constitutes clothing went astray. The idea of being comfortable in our clothes doesn’t mean they should be comfy it means they should a look we feel good about. We should always present a polished look to the world. There are no do overs in the first impressions department. So leave the yoga pants and pajamas for their intended use and put on some grown up clothes and no Leggings are not Pants. #stylist #fashion #wardrobe #qotd #beauty #raiseyourstandards #bestfootforward #styleicon #iconic #timgunn #fashionista #clothesmaketheman (at Eureka, California)

This is so true, anything that we keep inside will manifest itself in our outside world. The more toxic stuff, bad habits, unforgiveness, old wounds we refuse to let go of the further we get from living our best lives. Let it go and live your best life possible become the person you were created to be, live your purpose. #purpose #bestlife #godisgood #declutter #moveforward #letitgo #bestself #god #christianity #opendoors #cleanslate (at Eureka, California)
