Treasures


Ok...today was WONDERFUL!

I have been doing "boy fun" things for the past two days -- but it paid off this afternoon. They took me to the LSS here on Maui and gave me 30 whole minutes to myself. It turns out that scrapbooking isn't that big with the locals -- but they have figured out that vacationers like myself do like to create scrapbook pages of their trips so this store has created a whole line of paper and die cuts. It is TOTALLY small -- but cute. It was fun to talk with scrapbookers from other parts of the country. Some of them post on 2 Peas...so now I have a couple of new on-line friends to watch what they do with their vacation.




I also found some vintage Hawaiian postcards that are totally awesome.




Tonight we went to our favorite restaurant on Maui...Mama's Fish House and had Mahi Mahi stuffed with lobster, crab and coconut cream sauce....encrusted in macadamia nuts and broiled....it was enough to make my eyes roll back in my head. I wish I had the recipe...I would make it at least once a week.

Ok...enough....love you guys.

    Okay I just figured out that you are blogging while you're away! Yay!!!!!

    I'm so jealous woman! Looks like you're having a fantastic time. Can't wait to hear all about it. Those vintage postcards are to die for! I'm jealous of those too!

    It's not the same here without you. I can't believe I have to wait this long to see you. Boo-hoo.

    Love you!

    I am so glad that Weston was surprized!
    What a great gift.
    Something everyone will remember forever.
    Glad you're having such a great time.
    Yes, I do mean that even though I am just a tad bit jealous!

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

Image
This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
