I wanted to update and share all of the exciting things going on...so many reasons to REJOICE!
We had applied for 3 different Art Fairs for this summer...and just found out we have made it in to all 3! Praise the Lord!!! I am so excited because I think this will be such a great way to get our name out to so many different people! How fun will it be to share our talents with hundreds of thousands of people this summer! I get giddy just thinking about all those people that will be wearing, giving, or receiving Rejoicing DAY items this summer! (I love exclamation points and obviously use them alot - ever single sentence of this post has one so far...I just wanted you to know how excited I am!) Being a new business it is so hard knowing which art fairs to apply to, how much inventory we will need, and what booth/spot to request. I would get so anxious opening my mailbox everyday wondering if there would be a "congratulations you've been accepted or Sorry, better luck next year" letter in the mailbox. Each time I would start to worry though, I would just think about Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Ahhh isn't God so good:)
This past weekend was Easter and we had the chance to go to my grandma's farm for one last time (my gpa passed away this fall and she will be moving into town this summer) Although it was sad thinking that the farm we used to go to as kids will now be turned into farm land, it was also a time of rejoicing...It was so beautiful out and as we all stood outside praying before our delicious meal, my cousin and her husband shared their exciting news that they are expecting in November! I find it so amazing that as God takes someone away from us, he gives us a new gift in return!
One last reason to REJOICE... my husband and I will be moving into a new house this summer! We are thrilled to have more space which means that we will finally have a kitchen table again! Our town house that we currently live in has been wonderful for the 2 and now 3 of us, but since Rejoicing DAY has started to pick up the only place for me to really sew is at our kitchen table. Needless to say, it will be a huge time to REJOICE when I will be able to have my own sewing room AND be able to eat supper at our kitchen table!
REJOICE!
