How will you change the world this year?

{I did not write this , but it is wonderful. By Holley Gerth}



"I’m thinking of you wherever you are…

carpool lines, cubicles, around the corner or across the world.

And I can hear that quiet question, the one that taps the heart of every woman:

“How am I going to change the world?”

I want to lean in close, cup your beautiful face in my hands and say this to you…

You are going to change the world this year the same way you did the one before –

by being YOU.

Glorious, messy, Jesus-filled, you.

The one who makes mistakes and keeps on trying.

The one who is learning about her gifts and grace and how it all goes together.

The one loving, laughing, learning about being a little bit more like Him every day.

Yep, you...

Just what I needed today...thank you Holley!

Just for you...



"I'm thinking of you this morning, wherever you are, and of the difference you're making.

You might think it's small.

You might think no one really sees.

You might think you should do something bigger, better, more spiritual.

 

But lean in and listen close...

The best gift you can offer this world is you.

And that's what you're doing--

just putting messy, glorious, imperfect, made-new you out there.

In your home, your family, your office, your community, your world.

We'd miss you if you weren't there. It just wouldn't be the same. And no one could take your place.



So keep it up, my friend. Keep giving and loving and living right where you are.

It matters more than you know, more than you see.

{And you do too.}

xoxo

The first two photos are of a candleholder that my bff gave me and I am getting them posted rather late in the season. She doesn't like "stuff"...{at least not most "stuff"} so she passed this along to me. I printed out a vellum cover for the candle and added a vintage gauze ribbon. It is right at home in my decor.
The 2nd candle is one that I remade the outside of. I am not into cowboy stuff (original candle shown in last photo) , but loved the smell of the candle {from Goodwill} so purchased it, brought it home and prettied it up. :)
Happy Friday everyone!!
