A Whole Lot More than Jewelry!

-
Last Friday I left at 7am to fly across the country. With all of the snow and ice and flight cancellations, I didn't get to California until midnight. I was tired but so incredibly excited about KEEP Collective's Director's Summit in Napa Valley, CA. On Saturday I spent most of the day getting to know fellow KEEP designers and visiting local wineries. I don't drink but I enjoyed sight seeing and they loved my willingness to be the Designated Driver! On Saturday evening and all day Sunday, we had training, focus groups, inspirational speakers, and got to see a lot of awesome "sneak peeks," We also had a reception in the Wine Cave that evening, which was lovely! On Monday after the morning session ended, several of us went sight seeing in San Francisco. We ate at In and Out Burger, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, took pictures in front of the Full House houses, and even saw cable cars while driving through the down town area. I started the journey home Monday afternoon but yet again, because of flight cancellations, I didn't get home until Tuesday. Regardless of all the crazy travel issues, I had a wonderful time on this trip! I still can't believe that I was even invited to attend the Director's Summit, as only the top 1% of the company were invited!!!

Thank you KEEP for this amazing trip!!!!

Today I am grateful for the opportunity to go on this amazing trip! I've never been across the country before so this was truly exciting!! I had a wonderful time, learned tons of  helpful tips for my business, and met some incredible women! I know I've said it many times before but I am so thankful for KEEP Collective. It hasn't even been a year since I joined this company and I have come soooo far! In a company with over 10,000 designers, I am in the top 1%. How in the world did that happen??? I have worked hard but still, it just seems too good to be true. God has blessed me over and over again with this company. He has used it to help my family financially but also, to help me see my value and worth. KEEP has shown me that my dreams are worth working for and that with Christ, all things truly are possible! Now you can see why I'm always saying "KEEP is a whole lot more than jewelry!"

Please don't give me a wedgie!

 Would you believe me if I told you that life with 3 boys is wild??  You probably would, huh? I'm telling you, just an average Wednesday night in the Shaw household is full of all sorts of craziness! I did hear a first tonight though!  Bryan was wrestling with the boys and suddenly Dylan starts yelling "Please don't give me a wedgie!" Now by those words, you would assume that he didn't want a wedgie but the way he was shaking his booty in front of Bryan and laughing, proved that he really did want a wedgie! HA! Then, of course, Evan and Tyson started saying, "Please don't give me a wedgie!" (One in English, one in toddler language) So we had three little boys running around shaking their tail ends and begging for wedgies.  There. Is. Never. A. Dull. Moment. As you can see from this picture above, they got their wedgies! They thought it was hysterical! And I just had to show you the picture below, just to give you an id

Psalm 84: 11-12

For the  Lord   God is a sun   and shield;      the  Lord  bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold      from those whose walk is blameless.  Lord  Almighty, blessed  is  the one who trusts in you Psalm 84: 11-12 I've been pondering Psalm 84:11-12 for a couple of weeks now. It has become one of my favorite verses. After really digging into this verse on my own and in Bible study this morning, I feel like God speaks volumes through these 38 simple words.  God is a sun and a shield. Like the sun, God provides for us, nourishes us, and is always present. The sun provides hope with each new day, just as God gives hope in even the worst situation. Like a shield, God protects us and gives us security. We can hide behind Him and feel safe. But, a shield does no good just laying near by. It only protects when picked up and used appropriately. The same is true with God. If we don't acknowledge Him, if we don't get to know Him, if we don'

Beauty from Ashes

I have heard the term "beauty from ashes" a thousand times in the past week. It wasn't the first time I 've heard the term but I've always just brushed it off. Since I've heard it so much lately, I decided to pay it some attention.  So here we go... The Bible says in Isaiah that God will give us beauty instead of ashes. In Biblical times it was the custom for people in great times of mourning and difficulty to lay down in ashes. Just imagine this...you’ve got a big problem in your life so you just lay down in a pile of dirty ashes. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about this scenario. So where does the beauty come from? Can ashes really be turned into something beautiful?   Scripture says that God is able to take the situation that burdens you or causes you pain and turn it into beauty. He can pick you up out of the ash pile of life and make something beautiful out of you. The Hebrew word for ashes is epher and the Hebrew word for beauty is pheer. Just m
