Description
When each day feels like a marathon-between trying to meet the needs of your kids and family to putting out fires for your clients and colleagues-it can feel impossible to allow time just for yourself. But through 30 days of devotionals that include creativity-nourishing, hands-on activities, Making Time for God will help you give yourself the space you need to reignite your inner spark and overcome your anxieties as you rejoice in God's loving Word.
With each devotional, you'll first reflect upon the day's meaningful Scripture verse and lesson, seeing how God's Word can be applied to real-life experiences. Then, you'll put the day's message into practice as you get creative with the attractive, easy-to-complete projects. Plus: each craft only requires simple materials you can find around the house or at your local craft store.
Within each devotional, you'll explore a different theme from the Bible, like:
* Growing your confidence with Philippians 2:13
* Giving your cares over to God with Matthew 16:19
* Discerning God's purpose and plan for your life with Romans 12:2
* Trusting God's uncommon methods with Joshua 6:4-5
Offering daily moments of hands-on mindfulness, you'll also learn how to craft:
* A wooden candle holder to help you appreciate God's never-ending light
* A eucalyptus door wreath that will serve as a daily reminder of Philippians 4:1
* A decorative wall hanging so you can fix your eyes on God's Word
* Thoughtful, handmade cards to celebrate the joy of God's love
* And so many more easy-but beautiful-crafts
Whether you want to overcome stress and anxiety or simply build a creative practice into your days, these 30 projects provide a relaxing, hands-on way to grow your faith and deepen your relationship with God.
