What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…
Inspiration From God’s Word
Because your love is better than life,
My lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
And in Your name I will lift up my hands.
Psalm 63:3-4
Art Source: Cleng Hearts You
How He Loves – David Crowder Band
This week I’ve been thinking about God’s love for us
And how it manifests in ways we cannot even imagine
And I’d like to share this beautiful song with you.

Book Of The Week – Wounded Women Of The Bible
For each of us, there will be a moment God speaks –
Through his word or through someone else.
He will send us help and hope.
He will give us a choice to either move forward or
Stay sunken in our great despair…
One of the most relevant Bible Studies I’ve read in a long time!

Inspire Me Monday #89 – Week Of September 16, 2013
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

Seriously great links! Love the painting ones…hope to get some tips. Between Homeschool and life of course! I actually scrapbooked a page I was going to share but both my phone camera and camera are on the blink! Oh well. My most authentic sharing usually comes by grace and through WORDS! SO that is what I will share. Happy Monday, my friend!
