Welcome friends! Things look very different here, but I promise you that you are in the right place! You see, I wasn’t planning on having my blog redesigned again so soon. But God blessed me with winning a design and I just couldn’t pass it up. Over the next few days I will be tweaking things here and there so that it will be easy for you to navigate. If you see anything that looks out of the ordinary or that needs to be fixed, please let me know.
In the top bar is where you will find all of the categories that I write about. There are some drop down sub categories now, so make sure you have a look around. My Life in God is my largest category, where I share my journey of faith in various ways. Hidden within that category is my “prophetic art”, how I attempt to put onto canvass what the Lord shows me in the spirit. I get to do this in church, during worship! I am hoping to expand some other areas of the blog as the Lord allows. Don’t worry, I do not plan to become a food blogger, or photo blogger, as I am not very gifted in either. But I am on a journey of health and would love to share more about it as well as post a recipe from time to time. I also want to be more intentional in taking photos, even with my little iPhone. I hope my captures will bring a smile to your face!
If you normally join me for Fresh Brewed Sundays, beginning Saturday, January 5th that link up will become The Weekend Brew. Look for a post tomorrow with more details!
My heart has always been to encourage you through my faith journey. Although the blog looks very different, you will continue to find the same uplifting and encouraging content.
I hope you like my new home and a huge thank you to Jessica of 8550 Graphics for her work on the design, and for putting up with all of my little tweaks!
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to find out about The Weekend Brew. I am very excited about it!
*Thank you Melanie for making the beautiful button for my One Word focus!

Thank you Jacqui!
This is gorgeous! I love it, so fresh and clean! Can you tell me something? How do you find the matching little symbols for Connection on Facebook, email etc, at the top of your blog? Do you know, or is it a part of a package that your designer did for you?

Hi Susie! The social media buttons where done by my designer. I wouldn’t have been able to figure it out on my own!
Looks fantastic friend! Love it!

Thanks Beth. I wasn’t planning on redesigning so soon. I couldn’t believe I had actually won a design!
Very nice design Barbie. How great to win a blog redesign. Did I miss it or did you mention who did your blog redesign?

Thanks so much Diana!
Barbie, I love your new design as well. I’ve been searching for someone who can redesign my blog as well. I think I’m ready for a more “professional” look, especially since I’m hoping to begin a photography website as well in the next few months. Were you pleased with your designer? I love your design because it is very warm and welcoming yet very simple at the same time.

Oh yes Stephani! Jessica was so easy to work with and she does beautiful work, as you can see!
Hi Barbie! So funny to get your comment, because I had come over to check out your new design and totally didn’t even notice that you also were using the Adorable Theme! Just goes to show you how much these templates can be customized for each person. I purchased the theme myself (got a really good Boxing Day deal) and did my own customization, but didn’t really make it too much different from the original design. I’m enjoying it, though!

I actually really do love the original design:) But I live what the designer did. And you did a great job with yours! Have a blessed week.
