Jewelry from Africa: Making a Difference

Kelly Minter @ WOW Conference: Step into the Power

Upcoming Show! 

Hey guess what's up with Imani? We have been busy, busy, busy getting the items we brought back from Africa all prettied up for you. Well, for you if.... you will be joining us at the Women of Whatcom's Conference: Step into the Power. It is this coming weekend @ CTK Bellingham on Meridian in Bellingham, WA. For the details click on the link under the photo of Kelly posted above.

What could be better then listening to someone who has a heart for Jesus, sitting with other women who are eager to soak it all in, and being able to help make a difference around the world? I am SO looking forward to this. It is a bunch of my favorites all wrapped into two fun-filled days.

We would love to see you there. If you mention you saw this post you will get a free Maasai Bag with a $20 purchase. (As supplies last).

BLESSINGS to you!

Scripture I would like to WEAR everyday

Do you ever feel like if only you could wrap yourself inside and out with God's WORD maybe, just maybe, the temptations, difficulties, conflicts of life would not get such a grip on you? Me too! They just sneak right in and grab you before you even know you are focusing their direction.


In the Bible Study I am working in now the teacher talks about how we need to start being doers of the WORD - not just HEARERS. As most know this teaching comes straight from the Bible. 

But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. -James 1:22 NLT

It is in the action that we begin to change our spiritual, mental make-up. One question that was asked was "When was the last time that scripture, study, teachings  changed you?" Great question. Often we find ourselves learning but is that learning actually transforming us? Changing the way we think, act, LOVE?

I believe it is time we challenge ourselves to seriously grow outside of our comfort zones. To start LISTENING to God & immediately FOLLOW where HE LEADS. This will take practice but it can be done. The great news is God will help us in this. He is eager for us to have WILLING hearts. 

Let's live our lives in the EXPECTATION that we WILL HEAR from HIM throughout the day...that He does have a plan for us. A plan just for YOU & ONLY YOU! A good plan!

I love hearing from God! Although sometimes I need a reminder to keep me on track. That is why I am making these necklaces... reminds me of the verse: "Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads." -Deuteronomy 6:8 NIV

For those of you that could use a little help to remind you that you are covered & equipped by God's truth you can purchase a custom necklace with your favorite verse. I can make any bible verse reference necklace that you want. (These are fundraisers for our upcoming trip to Kibera Slum in Kenya this Summer.)

The LORD your God is with you,
