Oh, look at what arrived in the mail last week!! This, oh, so cute plaque, that says "Loved by God, Just as I am, Made in His image, Part of His plan." 
So my big dilemma was where or where to put this cute thing?! Well I decided it was a truth I'd like the girls to see often, so I decided to put in in their bathroom. Of course it made me smile when I heard them in there reading it! :) Oh, and I must say, I was quite impressed with the solid quality of this. It's a solid block of wood underneath all that stretched canvas cuteness - it has the option to hang on the wall, or you can just set it down on a shelf somewhere. What a cute little gift this would be for a friend!
And the fun didn't stop there, look at these adorable mugs I also got!
And they even have this cute little heart in the bottom of the mug!
I must say, this hot cocoa lovin' girl is looking forward to filling 'em up on these rainy days coming up! Again, I love the subtle reminders of truth these mugs provide - and trust me, as a 'recovering' perfectionist - it is a truth I need to be reminded of every day. The mugs say, "She didn't have to be perfect, because she was already perfectly loved. I John 4:8" You might remember my recent blog post, Imperfectly Me, when I first came across this saying. I haven't stopped thinking of this saying every day since.
You see it's a truth I learned several years back and it's changed my life in amazing ways. But I still need the reminder of it often when my old ways of thinking return. Here's the truth - there is nothing I can do that will make God love me any more than he does at this moment - I can't go to church more often, or give more money, or volunteer more, or read my bible more - to earn more of His love. He loves me completely as I am (with all my imperfectness), at this moment - and that will not change. It also goes the other way - He can never love me any less - even if I question His 'plan', or I never set foot inside of a church again, or never attended another bible study. I don't have to do anything for God's love to complete me! And in all those ways I see myself as a 'failure' - Jesus' grace covers it all and sees me beautiful! I don't have to be perfect (as if I ever could be), I just have to live in relationship with Him who already loves me perfectly!

I do love the details of Dayspring products, like the cute little heart at the bottom of that mug. But even more importantly, I love being able to surround myself with Truth shared on this line!
