Make Something Beautiful!


Make Something Beautiful......when you hear those words I bet your mind immediately drifts to art class. I am not much of an artist, but I do enjoy creating things! My favorite creation medium is digital scrapbooking (with quilting a close second!)......I love the digital feature because of the cleanliness factor! I am a busy mom of 3 young boys and I don't have time to get out, organize and create traditional scrapbooks! I do want to document the fun times and experiences that my family has and digital scrapbooking with Polaroid's My Memories Suite program allows me to do just that!!!! I chose the title of my blog "Make Something Beautiful" because I love to make beautiful albums for my family, but also because I really believe that God is trying to "Make Something Beautiful" of my life! Here are the lyrics to Laura Story's song with that same name!

When I'm at the point of breaking at the place where I resign,
And I'm at the stage of shaking my head as I look back on my life.
When I'm halfway through the grieving, but not quite through the ache,
When I cannot see the ending, or which road I'm supposed to take,
All I know to do is lift my hands to you....

Take all of my life, all of my life, And make something beautiful.
I open my hand, trusting Your plan. Make something beautiful so all will see
Your work in me, as You make something beautiful.

When I'm tired of pretending, and I can't recall my lines,
Do I say, I'm barely breathing, or just say, I'm dong fine.
I admit there is a yearning for the hurting to subside,
But not at the risk of missing what Your doing with my life.

All I know to do is lift my hands to You....
Take all of my life, all of my life, and make something beautiful!
Take all of my life, all of my life, and make something beautiful!

Go "make something beautiful" today!!!
