You can click on the following link to visit the new Retread Scribbles blog. We are still working through some minor technical issues, but for the most part it’s up and working fine. Please leave me a comment and let me know if you like the new look and let me know if you find something that’s not working correctly. This blog will be going away, so don’t forget to bookmark the new site.
I’m looking forward to seeing you over at the new site!
It really does! Love will always be more powerful than hate. Love will always win in the end, because of the ultimate love Jesus showed us from the cross. He could have given up, but he didn’t. He remained on the cross and died for us, so that we might live.
I’ve wanted to get a tattoo for over a year now and I actually went twice to get it and was stood up both times by the tattoo artist. I’m actually happy that I ended up waiting, because what you see in the picture is my new tattoo and yes it says Love Wins. I love it, I’m happy with it, and I think the artist I finally chose, did a great job.
So why? Why “Love Wins?” Because I often find myself impatient and frustrated with people. I don’t show them the kind of love that God expects his people to show towards each other. I even struggle with showing enough love to my family. You would think love would come naturally, but because of the broken, sinful, and selfish nature we are born with, love is something that takes work and practice and effort.
I really want my scribbled life to be a reflection of Christ’s love to others. Will a tattoo that says “Love Wins” on my wrist mean that loving others will be easier? No! But maybe, just maybe, it will be a small opportunity to testify about my need for Christ’s redeeming love in my life. Maybe it will pave the way for a future conversation with someone about how I struggle with loving others and the only way I can successfully love people is through the grace of God and because of his love for all of his creation.
Do you wrestle with the ability to love others more than you love yourself?
Retread Blog Sneak Peak
I’m very excited to announce a new design for the Retread blog. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working with a designer to develop a professional and great looking site that will be a new extension to the Retread website. Coming on Tuesday of this week, you’ll see some very cool changes. A great design, a great look, an easier way to maneuver the site, and hopefully great, challenging, content that will continue to not only reshape my life, but the lives of the people who read this blog.
Now that I’ve stepped up to make this a site where people will be proud to stop by, I have to ask YOU to step up and take a risk too. It’s time to start leaving a comment or two and give me a chance to respond to those comments in a positive and encouraging way. It will do me good to interact with you in this way and hopefully it will give you an opportunity to vent as well.
On Tuesday you’ll find a new link on this blog page to follow to the new site. Once you get there, please book mark this site, and please come back often! I will be doing my best to write interesting and thought provoking articles that come from my heart and straight from the scribbled life I live.
Don’t forget to check back on Tuesday for a great new start!
“The name Keziah is a Hebrew word. It describes a tree that has aromatic bark or berries. This “spice” tree produces berries that have a sweet smell. Birds often pick these pure berries for a delicious treat.
Keziah Design can be summed up in three words – fresh, relevant and creative.
What I do and how I am different!
Anyone can make a logo or design, but not everyone can make creativity relevant to your specific needs. Simply stated, it takes a partnership and collaborative, creative thinking. I bring ideas that are unexpected and fresh.“
Hey everyone, I just wanted to highlight a little design company I’ve been working with for over a year now. My good friend Dave Butler is the owner of Keziah Design and he has helped Retread with all of our branding. He’s currently working with us to develop a logo and membership card for our Jubilee Kids Club and he’s also helping me with the design and branding for the personal photography business I’ve started.
The reason I continue to go back to Keziah Design when I need something designed is because of the personal hands on relationship that’s formed between Dave and any person he’s working with. He cares about what you want and will work with you until YOU are satisfied! So, go over and check out their website today!
Especially his illustrations! If you’re looking for someone to illustrate the children’s book you just wrote, Dave’s your guy!!!
