We have all been unearthed and have the power to create from what we have been given.

'The Lord has done great things for them.
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.' -Psalms 126:2b-3 NIV

The word "done" in this context is "bara" in Hebrew which means to create something from nothing, which is only God's job. Another definition for "done" is "asawh" in Hebrew which means redefined from something already created; to transform*. God does this too, and so do we: that is what I have done here for viewing pleasure!!

All for the glory of our Creator, who gives all things.

* these notes are derived from a conference I attended of which Beth Moore spoke.


The following quote is one that means a lot to me, and reflects what it is I desire to do: create and enjoy beautiful things. But I want to emphasize that all true beauty is found in One that goes before us, giving us wisdom and discernment, enabling us to create lovely environments filled with hopefully more than just nice belongings.

"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures." ~Proverbs 24:3-4 NIV
