can you say exhausted?:) we are tired but grateful for an amazing sale Friday & Saturday. I have fallen off the face of the earth this last week getting ready. I am learning that move in week up to the sale nothing else in life happens…lol! Well it does – but without me!
this is the day when all your sins are washed away
in the …..of His unending grace
the day when the lost are found
the day of new beginnings
this is the day when life begins
have no fear SALVATION has come
and HE is HERE
have NO fear….
(lyrics from one of my new fav songs lately…This is the Day by Phil Wickham)and this..THIS is what I’m learning to live each day. ONE day at a time
AMazing GRace…how sweet the sound…oh can you hear the angels are singing
today there is no big dinner, no Easter egg hunt, no sitting on a bunnies lap….this Easter we will spend just being thankful that Jesus did rise again and in doing so gave us new life!! A new beginning…
this Easter I am more in love with my Father than I have ever been. It so much more real.. “relationship” being lived out in my reality..with all my flaws.
Knowing I am His and He is mine. That my destination is sealed. That He has all things in His hands and I can just relax into each day knowing I am LOVED & ACCEPTED…Chosen:) FORGIVEN and I pray you know Him with you heart and are experiencing His love in your everyday beautiful messy life.
SO

What. Lovely and uplifting post. I am simplifying my life. I just deactivated m Facebook account. Such unnecessary waste of time to me. I am also re-reading One Thousand Gifts by ann voskmp. Thank you for a chance to in one of your lovely signs.
birth mothers never forget
Happy Easter, Tiffini! And, Happy (almost) birthday! I love that last sign. My women's Bible study just finished a study where we discussed being chosen.
I have started my second online bible study with Provervs 31 and love it. This is helping me make more time for God and myself. Happy Birthday!!!
I have lived my life trying to be the best person I can be.
I start each day with a prayer that asks that I would not hurt anyone I come in contact with, physically or emotionally, and that I would have a keen ear to hear any speaking the Lord might be sending by way. I also pray that the Lord would send someone that I can help. Whether with a helping hand, a gift, a smile, or a kind word. The one part of my life I didn't really have a hold on until lately was forgiveness. I thought I was okay with this, until one day listening very closely to the one prayer we all know and say, The Lord's Prayer, but I think because we've been saying it for decades (in my case) don't really pay attention to the words. "Forgive me as I forgive others". Oh my goodness! What I really need to say is forgive me much better than I forgive others. This really hit home, I know that the Lord has washed me whiter that snow, that He paid for my sins with His blood on the cross. That's how He forgives me and that's what I want, but when I forgive it isn't even a micro-ijit to that. I also know that he doesn't mean for me to literally die for my fellow man's sins, against me, but He does want be to let my old stinky attitude die and to totally drop any hard feeling and to love that person as He loves them. Love your enemies . . . it's hard, but I've really been praying for this love and experiencing this kind of forgiveness. I can not believe the freedom, I've received from it. It's kind of funny how our Lord works, when we take a step in the direction that He is leading us . . . He takes two steps right beside us. So, I guess my answer is forgiveness. I am letting the Lord work this into my soil and soul. I am surrendering all my hard and held onto feelings and He is freeing my spirit. Happy Easter and Happy Birthday, Connie
P.S. If you any reason my name is drawn as a winner, please donate the sign above (the last one on the post) to a local nursing home. I love that sign!
What a beautiful posting.
My boyfriend and I have been spending more time praying together, and working on spending more time with our extended families. Thanks for the great giveaway, and happy birthday!
I'm looking forward to opening an antique booth this summer with my two daughters. The time that we will spend together working on our projects will be so special. We've even managed to talk my husband into agreeing to a role in our new endeavor. Thanks for such a wonderful giveaway!!
Hey Tiffini,
I am so thrilled that you are in God's Will for you and your children. You are thriving. As for me, I am trying to step out of my box and meet people, and get involved! Of course all this entails leaving my house!
I love your signs and am so excited for Restoration.
Happy Easter! I visited your booth this weekend (I am actually the one who you are custom making the "let it be" sign for!
I am very excited to hear when it is done. And I LOVE all of your work.
Lately I have been learning to slow down and enjoy things. The small things. The big things. The good & the bad things. Bad things are really important in life to have , so you can learn to be thankful for the good things. If all we had were good things, what would there be to be thankful for?? I think this is a hard, but very important lesson. Easter came at the right time this year for me. I hardly heard from any of my family, and didn't see any of them. But it made me realize how thankful I am to have my boyfriends family in my life to fill that void.
Hope to hear from you soon! You can email me if you need to contact me… Tnwalters89@hotmail.com
Good Morning! Tiff-
I am cultivating more Joy in my life. By opening my eyes to the
beauty of the Lord all around me in my everyday life here in the
midwest. Making the choice to take notice of what delights me by
writing it down, and talking about it. There is something that
happens when you share your joy moment with others. They
in turn will experience joy.
More capacity for Joy, makes for a happier me!
The Lord created us to experience Joy.
Grace, mercy and peace!
Happy Birthday, dearest.
hope your birthday is wonderful!
i am working on connecting with friends & keeping those lines of communication open. i often fall into the realm of liking to be by myself…which has done my heart/mind wonders. but i'm ready.
Happy Birthday, Tiffini!
Mine is on Saturday : )
April babies!
I have just caught up on
the posts that I missed.
It was fun reading about
your family and your pride
and great love for them
just shines through….
What am I cultivating
in the soil of my heart?
Mindfulness. You know
how sometimes you make
a routine drive and when
you get to your destination,
barely remember the ride?
I don't want my life to be
like that. I am trying to be
more mindful of the ride.
It's beautiful and it's fast.
Good luck with your sale.
Your signs are amazing!

I am a new blog follower after seeing your work this Friday at RE…I love your work!!! I am working on trying to be a little more laid back about things getting done around the house and instead trying to enjoy time with my son and my husband!! Thanks so much for the chance to win and happy birthday!
Just love your work Tiffany! I mean just love it all! Enjoying my lovely china hutch from last weeks sale and it reminds me of you as well.The habits I'm working on would be trying to simplify my life and only do the things that are most important to me and my family. Because as I get older it seems I have less time for the most important things in my life. Working on being a better listener.
Happy Birthday, precious girl:
I am so very proud of you.
Just step back and LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED!
I am so proud…………….(and I had nothing to do with it). Ha! I love to watch you grow……………..from afar!!!!
You've hit the nail………………literally!
Love and hugs and Happy Happy Birthday!
Beautiful work, and blessings to you, in your new venture! I am cultivating a couple of things, for one gratitude. I am making every effort to intentionally choose to be grateful/thankful in all things and I am finding that it does wonders for my attitude! I am also in the process of cultivating healthy habits once again. I have let good eating habits, and exercise slide for far too long, and this is also good for my attitude. I need to be all that God has created to be, and part of that is taking care of myself. Have a blessed day.
hi tiffany! happy 44th birthday….seems like my 44th was a million years ago. i am constantly working on being more patient with myself and others. that is an ongoing quest. i learned many years ago about the "stuff" that is most important in life,,,,,family is foremost. what i really hope to accomplish this year…my 67th, mind you, is developing a more embracing faith. that is a struggle that has ebbed and flowed consistently. i have been told that the journey for the truth is what is most important…but i think, by this stage of my life, i would like to at least be getting closer to the destination….that all enveloping trust and faith in God….
have a wonderful birthday….you have earned every moment of those 44 years….and i wish you many many more birthdays with love and happiness….xxx
Happy Birthday. Love your signs.
I am working on listening from above. Don't want to miss a single thing He has in store for me.
Happy Birthday to you!
I am working on taking notice of beauty in the world that I don't typically pay attention to. Trying to really focus on God's blessings that I take for granted.
