Are you living like the savior that you clam to love?

Are you a christan? 
Well, I hope that this post will reveal to you if you are a christan or not. In the book of 1John it has a list of tests to reveal if you are a christian.  But, I have some questions to ask the professing christians. 
Are you living like Christ? 
Do you strive to be like him? 
Would you be willing to give up everything for Him, like becoming missionary to Africa?
OR are you willing to give away your favorite jeans because you were convicted by scripture that they weren't modest?
Are you looking to Jesus for your forgiveness and as the model of your life? 
Do you tell someone to not do something that you yourself do?
Do you gossip behind other peoples backs? 
Are you a LUKEWARM christian?
I know that no one can be like him perfectly. I know that these questions were challenging for me. They showed me that I'm not even close to being like Jesus. Christ's death gave us forgiveness for all of our sins, but he didn't just die, because if he did, we would be worshiping a dead Savior; He rose from the dead to give us assurance of our salvation and forgiveness. If this has shown you that you still have a long way to becoming like our king, then that's a good sign that Christ has a plan and a future for you. 

With love through the King of grace

Lace hair bow.

Today we are going to be making a lace ribbon hair bow. 

The supplies you will need are... 
Hot glue gun, hair clip of your choice, sizers, and lace ribbon. 
Cut two pieces of ribbon roughly the same size.
 My ribbon has a border on it to ruffle it but I don't want it ruffled so I am just going to cut the border off. 
Like so! Continue to the end and repeat on the other piece of ribbon.
Now lay the two pieces of ribbon on top of each other so the pretty edges are sticking out on both sides.  
Put glue along the edges and stick together and trim the ribbon down so that the pieces are the same size. 

I forgot to take pictures of this step but all  you do is fold both sides in to the middle to create the length you want for your bow.
Fold the ribbon back and forth and make sure to have all the stuff that you won't  want to see when you look at it on the back. 
Take a scrap piece of your ribbon and fold it to create a little strip that will hold your bow together. 
Wrap the strip around the middle and glue the end to the back so you can't see it.
Put glue along the clip.
Stick the clip onto the back and wala your done!
