DIY:
This past year, I decided that I wanted to make my facial products. This way I know what ingredients are in the products that I use on my face. So of course, like everyone else, I needed to research since I didn’t how to make any of the facial products that I wanted to use. While researching, I came across several recipes that use apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and other items that I have in my cupboards. I was amazed that you could use coconut oil or apple cider vinegar on your face. I found several recipes for each product that I wanted to make so I could try out different ones to see which one fits my face.

Sapphira
Sapphira and her husband are only mentioned this one time in the Bible, but it is powerful and will leave you thinking. Sapphira is an example of what happens to you when you lie. God hates lies. “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly are his delight” (Proverbs 12:22). This should be a lesson to us all.

Satan
A friend of mine came to me and asked me this question, “How did Satan fall?” And I didn’t have an answer for her so I told her that I would find the answer and get back to her. Just because we are Christians it doesn’t mean we know everything about the Bible. We could live a hundred years and still, we wouldn’t know everything. The question was one I didn’t really know. I knew Satan fell because the Bible says in Luke 10:18, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from Heaven.” In order for us to know how he fell, we need to delve into who Satan was before his fall. So let’s look into what the Bible has to say about not what men want us to know.

Miriam,
“The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam” (Numbers 26:59, NKJV). Miriam means bitter. Miriam is the older sister of Aaron and Moses. It was Miriam who watched Moses (when he was in a basket) from afar and she also mentioned to Pharoah’s daughter about finding a Hebrew woman for the baby Moses. Even though the mother gave Moses up (it was to protect him) it was through the providence of God that she was able to get him back. She taught him all he needed to know that he was a Hebrew and was not an Egyptian.

2 Crochet Patterns
Turn Leftover Yarn Into a Cute Crocheted Preemie Hat I love to crochet. I had never crocheted a preemie hat before, but I decided to try it because I had some leftover yarn. The leftover yarn wasn’t long enough for a big project but it was perfect for a small hat. One evening, I sat down with a cup of coffee and just crocheted until I ran out of yarn. These hats are great if you know someone who has a preemie baby or if you want to crochet a bunch of hats to donate.
