{Faith}

Love this scripture - especially right now in my life.

So about a year ago while sitting in hotel room just surfing different scrapbook sites. I stumbled upon all these really cute doodled quotes. I saved them all to a file to use for inspiration. Boy they sure do come in handy. I did not create them - I just admire them. They make me feel good and bring me peace and gentle reminders. I would love to figure out where they came from. First of all, to give credit where credit is due - because this gal is so inspiring and so ubberly talented. Secondly, because I enjoy her work and would love to see more. I know she is a frequently published artist and I can even imagine her face. But my brain is on overload and I just haven't been able to locate her name. So I need your help. If you know the artist I am referring to will you send me her name and a link to her blog if you have it.

Thanks so much friends.

EDITED : Okay- all I needed was another brain for a bit, HEATHER knew exactly who I was talking about it is Stephanie who creates these amazing doodles - you can check out her blog {here}

{Faith In Christ}

I found this quote in my inbox this morning and it was just a gentle reminder to me not to get so caught up in the world. When I focus on my family and the tasks at hand things seem to be so much better. I have to remind myself the word I choose for 2008 is FOCUS. Now I need to remember to FOCUS

Only when we fix our gaze on the heavenly things do we begin to understand the eternities. Only with the help of Christ can we fully overcome tragedy. It is necessary to develop our faith in Him as the Redeemer of the world. He taught us: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
--Carlos H. Amado, "Overcoming Adversity", Ensign, Nov. 1989, 29
