My Creative Spirit

I'm linking up to White Wednesdays over at Faded Charm.  Please visit:  www.fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com

Creativity is displayed all over my home, and I'm not bound by any decorating rules.  If I like it, I make it work.  

I like to mix things up and make displays, like shells and rocks, an angel made of soap... you name it.

I like to keep things around me that remind me of lessons G-d has taught me.  The rocks were picked up on my trip to Israel in '96.  The heart shaped rock has a hole in it.  It reminds me of the lesson I learned while in  Eretz Yisrael.

When I made Aliyah (ascent to Israel),  I understood for the first time what "covenant" meant.  I saw G-d keeping His covenant with Israel by bringing His people back and making the land bloom.  Until I saw this, I had a hole in my heart about marriage.  He healed me there in Israel, and  I learned there are those who do keep covenants.

For the next ten years, I learned to love Yeshua as my husband...my Kinsman Redeemer (see the book of Ruth in the Bible).  I learned what love, tenderness, kindness, patience, caring and faithfulness in a man meant by spending time alone with Him and  in His Word.  

Then - surprise, surprise!!!  When I least expected it, he brought a wonderful man into my life.  I recognized him as a G-dly man from the time I'd spent with Yeshua.  

Rabbi Jem and I were married in 2006, and I am so happy!!

We're both very creative.  You should see the pics from our wedding!!
