What You Do Today Matters
Sue Donaldson says, “Surrender every day. We have disappointments, but we surrender over and over.” On this week’s episode, we talked about how she walked through a period of doubt and how God brought her through that in steps that surprised her. We also talked about how taking the next step is where faith comes in.

Just Enough in Times of Need
When we pause to think about it, having “just enough” is actually an abundance. Scarcity says there isn’t enough, but even with a very little, God can provide even more than we really need when we practice generosity and faith.

In addition to working with couples, Dr. Rick trains therapists and counselors using the RelateWell process to aid them and empower couples with the emotional and relational skills needed for a loving and thriving marriage.

This week on my podcast, author Stephenie Hovland talks about how she changed her mindset about Christmas from “If you can’t do it all, do more” to a more balanced approach. We also discussed how we can prepare now for the necessary celebration changes in a pandemic.
Stephenie is giving away a copy of her Advent devotional booklet “Hark the Herald Angels Sing: Daily Prayers for Advent,” which is inspired by “It’s a Wonderful Life.” To enter, comment below with the title of your favorite Christmas movie. Share the post to your page to get a second entry.
I’ll draw one name randomly at 8 pm CT on Monday, Nov. 23 so you can get your booklet in time for Advent.

I hung part of my great-grandfather's crib on the wall to use to display photos of our family. But I'm trying to decide on what to do with the top part. I'm honored to have been a guest this week on the Halfway There Podcast with @EricNevins. I talked about some of the story of how my trash-to-treasure fanaticism turned into a blog, a book, and a LIfe, Repurposed brand. Michelle Rayburn and Growing in Christ - Eric Nevins - ericnevins.com Trash to treasure decorating friends, I have a writing opportunity to share! Submissions for Compilation Book www.faithcreativitylife.com My family has a strong Dutch heritage, so my dad rewired the lamp that once stood on the dresser in my childhood bedroom, and I gave it a new shade from Target. Sometimes an update doesn't have to be dramatic. 
Option A: Create a pendant garland from paper.
Option B: Create a wood slice garland with chalkboard paint on each slice.
Bonus question: What should I put on the garland for a phrase? (One letter on each pendant or wood slice, so it has to be short)
I still love the before and after decorating photos, but this really shares my heart!
Call for submissions: seeking articles for a Christian compilation for women called "Life Repurposed: Stories of Grace, Hope, and Restored Faith." For more info, see www.faithcreativitylife.com
