Identical To Jesus

…But we have the mind of Christ.  1 Corinthians 2:16

When we are born again have the same spirit of Christ on the inside of us that Jesus had. 

In our born again Spirit we are identical to Jesus I John 4:17 says that “as HE is SO are WE in this world” The moment we are born again our Spirit changes and is sealed with the Holy Spirit. 

Our body does not immediately change, nor does our soul…your soul houses your mind your will and your emotions. 

So how can this say that I have the mind of Christ? On the inside of you, You have the capacity to renew your mind to the same mind and attitude of Jesus. Ii is possible! 

As you renew your mind to the truth of God’s Word you will begin to think and act just like Jesus did! 

Made It! DIY Faux Layered T-Shirt

Now that Little Bear is mobile I find myself bending down to help him a lot. Which means I also find my shirts creeping up, I don't know about you, but I really hate the feeling of my skin being exposed when it's not supposed to be! This also makes shopping for summer clothes difficult because the shirts I like are either too low in the front or too short at the waist... I don't want to wear turtlenecks (don't even like those in the winter!) and I really don't like to layer my shirts 1. they're too hot that way and 2. they bunch up.

Thus began the search for a tutorial online, how to make a layered shirt without all the layers??? I found some ideas but, not what I had imagined...

1. I grabbed my all time favorite t-shirt (thanks Aunt-T), two old faded glory shirts that were too short, my scissors, sewing machine and these instructions on ehow.com

I figured if I messed up the old shirts I wasn't out any, I can't wear them as they are anyway!

Program Your Mind

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.  2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Program your mind with the Word of God.  The Word is Spirit and Life.  When your mind is full of God’s Word, you become stronger and can overcome ungodly thoughts and bad habits.  You can take control of your thoughts.  It is your choice what you think. Jesus paid the price for your thoughts and has given us His Word which enables us to win over bad thoughts and imaginations. 

Family! Rubber Ducky

Ever since Caden was a baby he has loved taking baths. So, when the rubber ducky inflatable bathtub (that we won) arrived, we knew bath time would be even more fun. 

Rubber ducky didn't disappoint! Caden found his swimming trunks and other rubber ducks and splashed in the tub for a very long time!

Made It! DIY Owl Taggie Toy

In order to get use to my new sewing machine and try to remember how to sew again, I decided to make some little stuffed owls for Caden. I actually made two owls, a blue one and a pink one, but only took pictures of the pink one.

I found these little guys on pinterest, then went to the source, for the pattern and detailed instructions, thank you Bubbles & Bobbins! They're really easy to make and only took about an hour. I spent around $10 on supplies, but I have quite a bit of ribbon, stuffing and material left over. All in all the owls probably cost less than $2 each.

I'm not going to give a detailed tutorial, but I will show you how I made mine... In hind sight I would have placed the eyes and beak a little lower and closer together, but this little owl has been loved by Caden, so I guess it's not a big deal, just personal preference.
