A Youtube Channel With Modesty Ideas & More....

I've just discovered The Texas Boys Youtube channel.  
They have some helpful videos on modesty, simple living,
 their personal journey, homesteading, etc.  


Click here for this particular video by 'Texas Mom' which I found
 especially appealing.  In it she shares lots of ideas for an inexpensive 
modest wardrobe - including sources to some great online stores.  
I had never heard of many of these.  Check it out - 
you just may learn something new too!

Blessings today... ~Joyce

You Never Know Who Is Watching....

I'm sharing a humorous sighting I had yesterday.    Humorous - 
but also sobering and a good reminder for all of us...

I happen to be an Etsy seller of vintage goods (shop here if interested)...
 and as such was in my studio space shooting product photos.  
My studio is on the 2nd floor of our home and I was stationed right by a 
window (gotta have day light!) which faces our next door neighbor.  

A bit of movement caught my attention so I looked out.  
For a while I couldn't figure out what I was seeing as there was
 simply a car parked along the road with its flashers on.  But then I
 noticed a young man in the neighbors' front yard.  It had been
 snowing and I also noticed there were car tracks in the front yard.
  Ahh...  I was starting to put 2 and 2 together!  
Apparently the young man had driven or slidden through the front yard.  

(Just an accident?  Fooling around?  I don't know...)  But it appears 
he turned around and came back to try to hide the evidence.  When
 I spotted him - he was walking all over the tire tracks - scuffling
 them with his feet - trying to make them 'disappear'.  When that 
didn't work - he spied a shovel propped against the garage - 
went and got it - and proceeded to use that to try to hide the tracks.  

Or course none of this really helped... the tracks were still very evident.   
But what was sorta cute was that the whole time he kept
 looking in all directions to see if anyone was watching him.  
(Hello - up here in the window..!!!)  


The obvious 'take-away'?   Everything WE do is seen too - 
by Jesus if no one else.  And as Christ followers - 
that should matter hugely to us.   


I know for me - this little next-door life's lesson will be a 
good reminder going forward.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus...
Colossions 3:17

Signing off with a childhood song running thru my mind...
 
'Oh be careful little hands what you do...'

Smile!  ~Joyce

Got Head Covering Questions?...

Hi folks!  I'm sure many of you are aware of The Head Covering 
Movement website.  But if not - here's your chance to get acquainted.   
They are currently asking folks to ask their 'head covering' questions.  
They've done this in the past and have provided well studied
& excellent responses (just peruse the website).



But this time, they're planning to do a video feature.  So,
 you need to take a video of yourself asking the question. 
 Click HERE for a link to all the details.

The website has been a bit inactive recently while the author battled
 cancer... but he's doing better (indeed cancer free - praise Jesus) - 
and is back to providing content.  I have truly appreciated the 
site's excellent work  The one place I would disagree is their
 current view that head covering is for public worship only.  
And even there - they leave some room to other views.

So - do you have a question?  Or perhaps you've heard of a
 question that you don't have a good answer to?  Ask away!   
And if you don't want to ask them... you can always ask me.   No video needed...
To sincere questions - God and I will try to  help!  But  know that I'm not a theologian or historian.
Just a simple gal who loves Jesus and wants to obey His Word.
   
Hugs girlfriends.... ~Joyce
