Good Friday Activities

Good morning friends! It is Good Friday, the day we remember Jesus’ death on the cross. I love the saying, “It’s Friday, but Sunday’s a comin’!” Search for the YouTube video and watch it today, it is a powerful reminder of what Good Friday is about.

DIY Lipgloss

I get to meet weekly with some awesome high school and middle school girls. We do a bible study, discuss life and sometimes have a quick craft that I can apply to their lesson. These girls are amazing and I am honored to be a part of their lives! For the past few weeks we have been discussing their words and how they use them. This week one of the points of our lesson was to use what we say to encourage and build up those around them. So we made some easy DIY lipgloss as a reminder to have sweet words this week.

No Bake Easter Cupcakes!

So, I had a lady’s ministry get together last night. When asked to bring a snack to share I usually feel obligated to bake something. As a stay-at-home mom of three littles, who I homeschool (don’t get me started on how much time I spend doing just that!), and I have 5 part time jobs I do to help our family financially while I stay home… I just didn’t feel like baking! So I ran to the store.
