Overcomer!

Good Sunday Morning!
I do have more to share a little later, but I just wanted to post a quick simple note taken from one of the songs i'm obsessed with "Take Heart" -Hillsong United, Aftermath.

"All our troubles, tears, failure, fear, heartache, pain, burdens, and shame- God our hope, love, healer, freedom, justice, grace, refuge, and strength, He is with us and He has overcome!"

Whatever your going through, I just want to let you know God has overcome it through His Son Jesus Christ. God is there for you. He will help you. There is always hope. He is everything you need to overcome too.
I would also like you to know, I'm not only here for crafting, finances, my favorite music, and whatnot; but i'm also here for you. So if there's anything you need prayer for or just to talk, please feel free to comment or leave me an email message: sobrilliantlife@hotmail.com.
Thats all for now.
I will be back later!

Long Long Blog Makeover and Movie

Hi again! The Blog update probably won't be done tonight. I'm getting quite tired and I have to (I mean I choose too) be up early for church in the morning! I'm still in the designing phase and am working on making it represent me and coordinate, so it may be officially done by the end of the week. I'll keep you posted :)
Also as you may know (or may not) I love Lucy, the actress and show. And I just got done watching Lucy and Desi's movie "Long, Long Trailer" and it is such a good movie! I love 1950's movies.

 It would be kinda fun to just travel the country in a trailer, but that is a long trailer. I think i'de rather travel by car or plane and stay at a hotel.

I love old movies. I think I need to rent Breakfast at Tiffany's again to entertain my while I pack.
Oh yeah, i'm moving at the end of the month. I currently rent an apartment, nice area, but i'm tired of living in an apartment. So God provided a house for rent! I'm so excited to actually have a little yard and experience a house before I end up buying one in the near future. And rent for the house is cheaper than the apartment! I'm stoked! I just need the motivation to pack. It's definitely not my favorite. Well i'm going to finish rewatching the Long, Long Trailor then call it a night.
Nite! -Jen

Getting There.

Hello!
The Blog design is coming along. I have to add a few more things, but it should be done later tonight! I have so much to do today such as the blog, my business, and packing.. oh and my job. Which I have to go now. Later!"

Can't Stop...

Listening to Hillsong Uniteds newest cd: Aftermath. I don't own it yet, just been previewing it on youtube constantly. I soon will get it though. Love all these songs so far, I cant get over them. So I thought I would share my obsession, enjoy!

Financial Friday: Give

Hey guys! I think finances are so important, and I wish they were thought more in schools. Money management is such a needed skill that not many people know. So I just want to give some practical financial advice about once a week on friday! Here's my advice: Be a giver! A lot of people who are very successful practices this principle. The Bible says give and it will be given back. Luke 6:38 says "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” God isn't a respector of persons. If you apply His principles, you can get the results, Christians or non Christians. I do know God does favor people differently, but He honors His word reguardless. So that's my advice, be a giver. You can't out give God. Give to His work through your church, give to your community, give to those in need. Generosity will get you farther financially than not giving. So give!
Have a good night and think of ways to give this next week!

Sew Good Morning

Good Morning!
Work is delayed a little today so I have more time in the morning just to hang out... and watch Project Runway. I love internet tv! But when I watch it I don't want to just watch tv, I have to do something like sew (especially while watching Project Runway), or craft, or plan, something. So last night while watching I finished an apron. I'm kind of on a apron making kick.

                                       
This is the second. I was going to add ruffle edge, but it didn't work well. So it's a simple apron.

This is my first apron. I love it! It has such a retro vibe.

Well I have to get ready for work now, just wanted to give you peak of my sewing projects!

Have a good day!

I'm Back!

Hey there! Just wanted to post a quick message, i'm back. I have a new laptop now and I love it. I know i'm kinda a nerd but outside of the webcam (I love cameras) one of my favorite feature is the key specifically for the calculator. Well anyways while I was away I have been dreaming up some new post. And I did change the design of the blog a bit. I am still playing around with a design but I need to install my photo program first. I hope everyone is having a great Memorial weekend. It's definitely a time to remember, but to also spend time with the ones you love. Don't take them for granted, even if you see them everyday. Treasure the moments you have with them. Tommorow i'm hanging with the family and having a cook out. I am looking forward to it.. but not so much the weather, it's going to be 90 tommorow here in Michigan. I'm praying for no humidity, but I have my shorts ready just in case (just a side note, I don't wear shorts too often, I only have the bermuda style and I like them, but I don't really like shorts). Well that's all for me for now. It is definitely good to be back!
