A Tapestry of Beauty

My Mission

I have a desire to Glorify the Lord in my calling as a homemaker. Tapestry of Beauty is my definition of my desire in this area of my calling. It is based on the title of a book called God's Beautiful Woman by Elizabeth George and its foundation is from the Virtuous Woman and her model. Proverbs 31:22 "She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple." My home, this Little Place, is where my heart lies and is where I find my delight and my complete contentment. It is a place of peace and a refuge from the world. Lately the Lord has been stirring my hearts desires to have fruitful hands in the creative way of pouring my love into my family and home. This little place is an expression of me and my family in every corner and crack. The couch, hallway (as small as it may be), kitchen, laundry corner :0), bookshelves, armoir, coffee table, rugs, curtains, dinning room, bedroom, kids rooms and all of those who dwell inside will speak to those who enter of who we are and I desire to be apart of the making of many of those, adding the work of my hands to them, with a touch here and there of creativity for the Lord. I also want my home to radiate a love for Christ and His glory in a way that it can not be missed. My heart is here in this Little Place and instead of only allowing a few faucets to drip my love onto and into it I want them to pour out with passion and diligence! This is my mission for my Little Place..........to make a Tapestry of Beauty. Join me while I learn how to do this and feel free to give any of your insight and suggestions....they are welcomed with extreme delight!

JOYfully in Him,

Kelli

How Absolutely Beautiful!

Your profile, and this first entry of yours have truly blessed my heart. I so look forward to reading what further things the Lord lays on your heart to share here. I love what you said about every detail of our homes being an expression of who we are. How true that is, but also how easy to forget. Welcome to HomesteadBlogger!
