A Question...

Can anyone tell me what makes any of us "worth" saving? Is it how "good" or "nice" or "loving" or "tender" or "moral" or "agreeable" we are?

There's only one thing that makes any of us worth saving. We were made by God, in His image, and for His glory. Our utter worthlessness without Him reveals the glory of His grace more fully by contrast. Don't you think?

David Wilkerson said that a jeweler who wants to display a beautiful diamond does so by setting it in a bed of the blackest velvet--it's brilliance shines all the brighter because of the blackness of the background. We - our hearts, our flesh, our stubbornness, our pride, and our idolatry - are the blackness, and God's glory is the radiant diamond! :)

Not because we are good , or nice ,or loving , moral, or agreeable , but for the express purpose to declare HIS GLORY among the people(s) , to declare HIS LOVE for sinners(Jn.3:16):NOTHING in my hands I bring simply to Thy cross I cling as Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners , of whom I am cheif . THOU ART WORTY , THOU ART WORTY , THOU ART WORTY OH LORD . TO RECEIVE GLORY , HONOUR AND POWER , THOU ART WORTY ,OH LORD . FOR THOU HAST CREATED , HAST ALL THINGS CREATED , THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS . AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY WERE CREATED , THOU ART WORTY ,OH LORD!

Painted Patio Wall Transformation - Our New "Secret Garden"

Michael and I have discovered a Secret Garden every where we have lived since getting married in 2010.  Whether it was the creek that ran behind our first apartment in Sacramento or the tiny little space of our 520 square foot, 1962 single-wide, mobile home in Rancho Cordova, California, we were always able to discover and create a unique sanctuary to call home.  Even though, in years past, we did what we could to make our surroundings uniquely wonderful, we never had the room to go really crazy until now. Since moving to our new home in North Carolina in May, we have not only discovered a world of exotic creatures and plants outdoors, but we have also started taking full advantage of the additional space we now have available to add our own touch of whimsy to the new "Wood's Secret Garden". Our first major project was the Patio which joins the in-law quarters (where mom lives) to the kitchen entrance into the main house.  We have received so many questions abou

The Project!

So, I had a huge jar of left over glass pebbles--you know the kind that you get at the craft store in those little net bags. I use the flawless ones to make my custom art pendants and rather than throw away the flawed ones, I kept collecting them in a large glass jar hoping someday I would come up with a brilliant idea. Well, here it is! It's a work in progress... Clip I first cut out pages from an old pocket Bible that was falling apart and missing pages. Clip I them spent a good part of a day, decoupaging them to a long section of the hallway wall. Clip Once the decoupage had dried; I began at the bottom of the wall, gluing one glass bead at a time, using (you guessed it) E6000. This process took at least 10 separate, 1 hour sessions. Once I glued about 5 or 6 rows, I used lengths of scotch tape to secure them to the wall and allowed the glue to dry over night before starting another section. Clip This took a really, really, l

Custom Doll Trunk with Doll and tons of clothes and accessories now available!

This took forever!  After transforming the 24 inch Bratz Dolls into "Just K.I.D.S" as part of the campaign to help rescue kids trapped in the sex trafficking industry, I got the crazy idea to convert a vintage suitcase into a doll trunk.  After making the inside compartments and decoupaging and hand painting the entire outside of the suitcase (both front and back) the set is now complete and up for auction on Ebay. Leave a comment if you want to bid on this amazing doll trunk.  You even get to pick which doll you want to be included.
