Creating the She Shed

Finally, after moving a year ago we are creating a She Shed for Raised Bridges. We will be repurposing an existing 12 X 24 building with attached covered patio into our creative space.

Once we got everything moved out, Randy did some re-wiring to add more outlets and lighting for the space. We then calculated how much insulation and dry wall needed to make this space more comfortable. One wall was already insulated and covered with Peg Board, we left this as is since it will be perfect for the space.

We purchased enough dry wall to cover the three remaining walls and ceiling at Lowes. Lowes did not have the insulation we needed but we found it at Home Depot! We ended up getting 21 sheets of Dry Wall and 3 packages of 88 sq ft R30 Insulation.

Luckily, we had saved up the points earned on our credit card and cashed them out for Lowes gift cards, this really helped with our purchases. I recommend when you are deciding on a credit card to choose one that earns points! Big Win!

I was also able to cash in some Amazon Credit card points and purchase some Peg Board organization items. I will be using a turquoise color scheme in my She Shed so I chose these items.

I’m Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

One of my favorite scriptures I often use to redirect my thoughts so that I can focus on positivity. An affirmation given to us by God which can be found in Psalms 139.

I begin my day with affirmations. I Am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made! I am made by God in his own image! Every cell in my body is perfectly healthy. I Am accomplishing my goals and following my dreams. I Am successful.

I had the opportunity to speak at Christian Friends Baptist Church in Hawkinsville, Ga for the Celebrate Recovery group on Tuesday. This was my first time speaking publicly to share my story. As I looked around the room, I noticed a couple of ladies crying. I don’t like to make people cry, but I knew my story resonated with them. After I finished, two ladies came up to me and shared how they were touched by my story because they too experienced many of the insecurities and feelings of judgement by others I spoke about. This warmed my heart and confirmed that I was supposed to be there in that meeting speaking to this group.

I also had a young man ask to speak with me. He had a lot of questions; I could tell he really needed to talk to someone. I sat with him and listened. He asked me, “how do I to talk to God”.

I told him that it’s easy, just think of God as your best friend. Anything you would tell your best friend you can tell God. Just talk, he’s always there, he’s always listening.

He then told me he didn’t know how to pray.

I answered, “There is no right or wrong way to pray. Anything that’s on your mind just ask God to help you. Ask God to lead you, guide you and he will.”

He asked for prayer and asked God to come into his life before we left.

To know that other people reading or hearing my story were blessed makes my heart happy! I am blessed and reassured.

I AM THAT GIRL. I AM Trusting, Happy, Amazed, Tender-hearted, Gracious, Inspired, Reassured and Loving.

I AM That Girl

I AM Trusting as I place my trust in God.
I AM Happy and share happiness and smiles with others.
I AM Amazed lift high the Amazing Grace of Jesus.
I AM Tenderhearted and care for others tenderly.
I AM Gracious and share gratitude for all my blessings.
I AM Improving daily and assist others to improve.
I AM Reassured in God's word and give others reassurance that everything will be O.K.
I AM Loved and I Love my God, family, friends and community.
