Hats for the Holidays! Day 30

A winter blue to bring in the beginning of December! Yes, I know it doesnt start until tomorrow, but can you not picture this with a lovely fur coat, and holiday attire against a blanket of white snow? <3

The hidden sparkles will match the sparkle in the eye of the girl when she catches the sight of sparkly snow!

The Rock - A Word of Encouragement

Psalm 18:2 (ESV)

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 

When life is crazy, busy, swirling, and chaotic, remember this:

When you find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place, remember God is your rock, and He will get you through the hard place!

Psalm 94:22 (ESV)

But the Lord has become my stronghold,

    and my God the rock of my refuge.
