it is my STORY
not yours child
you have thought it yours..
since you were little
you have know ME and I have known YOU
you have not let me in .. let ME love you
care for you AND
tell OUR STORY – to the point you were lost
there is no where you went or could go that i was not THERE
you numbed yourself with all sorts of things – food, pursuing things that you thought
brought you happiness but only eneded in dissappointment
this new lifestyle we are embarking on is an ADVENTURE–
the one I”VE been waiting to go on with YOU for a VERY LONG TIME–
there have been many lessons along the way haven’t there–
you have to be able to receive to go on this ADVENTURE — I have much to GIVE you
(why do we struggle so with this truth?)
you do not need anyone’s permission
I, even I, give you a choice
CHOOSE this day–
SING MY song
tell MY STORY
our STORY
God is re-connecting me to my SELF-SONG…
there are NO STRINGS attached to my BLESSINGS – none
ENJOY them
RECEIVE them
they are MY GIFTS to you
to be unwrapped..
I don’t RECEIVE well. at all
i live in a constant state of when something good happens .. something really bad will happen
which equals – no JOY in my life
nobody does anything without expecting something in return right? they act like they don’t
want anything but they really do. sooner or later it comes out.
me and God have been working on this
this was an entry from my journal last week and the subsequent dialouge that He so sweetly shared with
with me under the sun while the wind whipped my face and the birds sang just for me..or i imagined they did
:::::::::::::::::::::::
so when i say thank YOU..all of YOU
and when nikki & i are putting our heart and soul in this
i know they are GIFTS from my Father and i am ever so humbly and with great AWE
opening them and for the first time
i am learning to ENJOY them
and not torturing myself that it is all going to be stripped away
that maybe .. just maybe this time the other shoe WILL not drop
and even if it does i have peace that i am living WITHIN each day
receiving HIS GIFTS and treasuring them
and letting go and letting Him in..sharing the MINGLING of OUR STORIES
::::GUESS where we are going in MAY?
sweet home ALABAMA – we have never been there so we are so PUMPED! i want to dedicate a POST just for this in the coming week or so
cause my heart has so much to spill..
this soul friend – unbeknownst to her has cupped my heart in such a way that only God could
have written this story. i struggle with feeling so unworthy and frightened..like the little girl skin i feel so
comfortable in. BIG GIRLS do this i told nikki yesterday. i need balcony sisters. sisters to encourage me
to help me grow. i am a natural wallflower. i wasn’t popular in school. i am NOT a social butterfly but i long
to be seen..not by all.. by those that are for my person..does that make sense? i never will be that girl..i don’t
want to be. i do want to live in the arena..and i want to dare greatly. i believe God brought us together and i
am left without words until i meet her and can squeeze her neck and listen to her heart..that is what attracts me to
people. their heart.
we have been working on designs for just Perfectly Imperfect…ones you will only find there. ever.
and new designs for our sign store which re-opens MARCH 26! we will have some fun PROMO’s so
keep watching – AND MOXIE….whew!

know how many times you make me cry with your words and support. i feel like i am accepting an oscar…ha!
but there is no way that we would be here.. at this page in our story.. without YOU
may your MONDAY be filled with all the goodness of HIS love..may you know that you are KNOWN by HIM.
YOU are loved and worthy to be loved just as YOU are. YOU are ENOUGH….xo
OHHH so glad you are having that talk with God, friend! Years ago at the start of a crazy trial-to-begin, He spoke peace to my heart and gave me the confidence to carry through with a smile on my face, and has given me that peace through every major bump in the road since. Above my mantle I made a sign that reads “Give God your bad and He’ll make it beautiful”…I believe that with all that I am because the evidence is so astoundingly clear in my life!
And the Moxie shop…by the way…I’ll be purchasing soon! Good job, ladies!!!
Congrats! So excited for you, The creative apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
You guys rock!!
I know that I told you this on Instagram but I just want to tell you again….thank you for pouring your heart out for the world. Not just on your blog but in your work as well. You are a blessing to me (and so many more) so please keep being transparent. God’s light is blazing through you, Sunshine! (Or as I like to call it “SONshine”)
Love and blessings!
Amanda
I’m so glad I saw Sasha’s post about the adorable sign you made in her daughter’s room! What talent…a gift for sure!

Christy

I’m liking what I’m seeing! I’m going to hold off on getting anything yet…..I want to see all my options first. {By chance…any farmgirl or country girl designs?!}
I love your dialogue with God. Isn’t it amazing how much more our story is beautiful and amazing when we allow God to take it and run with it. I am learning this myself, to be thankful even during the hard times. It is not easy, but He never wanted it to be. I am really enjoying exploring your blog. You are so creative. I love that the shirts have such strenght behind them. I can’t wait for your etsy shop to re-open. You have gorgeous signs!
Do you plan to add plus sizes to your store? Please?
these are so awesome!! you ARE amazing!

I can relate to so much of your story, friend.
God revealed so much to me over the last 3 weeks as I’ve sat in this health scare.
You hit the nail on the head when you talked about little girl skin VS big girl skin..
God is SO dealing with my inner little girl…that sweet thing is WOUNDED.
Praying for you today….
