This post could most definitely be about much more than I am intending it to be but we will just leave that to another day...because don't we all know we could talk for hours on our intents to lose the larger parts of our derriere:)
Instead I am going to do a little confessing if I may?! This past Sunday our sermon at
church made me step back and re-evaluate so many areas of my life... Our Student Pastor, Matt Moore got the platform and shared the most stunning yet startling reality of the excuses we make that interfere with our relationship with Christ. Hence the title.. The Big But:) I felt God nudging me to write something about it
But I kept suppressing the thought and telling myself yet another "
But" excuse! I thought come on now this is a blog about parties, events and crafting I surely can't go off on a rant about my relationship (or lack thereof) with Christ. But little did I know He had such a plan to tie it all together:) Doesn't He always?
Needless to say, my prayer life hasn't been that consistent lately. I have had the BUT excuses coming out of my ears. But, I just need to focus on finishing the details of this party, But I worked so hard yesterday I just need to relax today, But I finally get an evening to spend with Aaron... But, But, But! They were coming from everywhere. I get so caught up in my day to day life and where I want my life to be down the road that I lose focus of just Who is going to get me there!
Tying it all back to this blog about parties and crafting, I must say that prior to really pushing my business (even as early as last week) I kept giving myself the But excuses on why I couldn't advertise it or why some may not be interested in this business. The devil was really using my insecurities to put a damper on what I know God has given me a vision and talent to do. So, I decided to kick those Buts to the curb and really give God the glory for what He has done for me. I will wholeheartedly seek after Him even when I don't feel like it, I will run my business with Him as the cornerstone, I will not be afraid to talk about God on this blog because He is the reason the vision is a reality in the first place, and I will most certainly be more aware of the Buts that I use in my life.
So for starters I am kicking this But do I really need to do this right now? But to the curb and I am going to start working on this little masterpiece that I just fell in love with! Thank you to Juneberry Lane for giving me this great idea! DIY Photobooths:)
Now, each party that I do will have a very unique photobooth for all their guests to share amazing memories with!
