Keep calm and carry lip gloss. oneblessedchicky.com. www.marykay.com/lyndeb100

There are a LOT of "Keep Calm" quotes going around social media these days. But I stumbled on this one over at Pinterest today and thought this was too cute to pass up! 
Of course I ALWAYS carry a lip gloss in my purse (and a full sized lipstick). Sometimes you just need that extra shine. 

Have you tried any of the Mary Kay lip glosses yet? Well, let me give you a deal just for reading. Go to my web site, www.marykay.com/lyndeb100, add any 2 lip glosses to your cart, and I'll give you a 3rd one for FREE (equal or lower priced). Just mention this blog post when you check out. Whoo hoo.... keep calm, and ALWAYS carry lip gloss ♥

As always, go with God and God will go with you. Be blessed!

A One Blessed Chicky Surprise

A One Blessed Chicky Surprise. OneBlessedChicky.com


I've been sick the last couple of days... some sort of "body aches" flu bug. You know the kind... chills, can't warm up, every muscle and joint in your body hurts, stiff neck, headache.... not fun at all. Anyway, I went back to work today, not feeling 100%, but enough to go work for a few hours at the church (thankfully I set my own hours there).

On the way home, I knew my February Mary Kay order would be waiting for me. I received the UPS notification on my phone after they delivered (love that). There's always a little bit of excitement when I know Mary Kay products are coming. Okay, I lied, there's a LOT of excitement. 

So, today, still not feeling up to par, I'm getting closer to the house, and I see the Mary Kay box on the front porch.... yay!! I stopped to get the mail, shoved it into my bag and drove on up the driveway. I walked into the house, set the Mary Kay package on the floor, then decided to open the mail before tearing into the products. 

The usual, junk mail... Oh wait, there's a small envelope with my name on it, and the return address, my in-laws. What can this be? I'm not expecting anything from them. I open it up and down inside the tiny manila envelope was a dog tag/keychain engraved with "one blessed chicky" and a little chick beside it.

Now, this probably means nothing to all of you, but it means the world to me! My step-mom in-law stamps these little things out by hand. She made me and my girls one for Christmas with our favorite quotes. Mine was "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord". There were a lot of words to fit on the little key chain, but she did it. 

Now this! What a surprise. I was so excited, I took a picture of it and immediately 
posted it to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Haha.... yes, I do that.  
And now I'm blogging about it (hee hee). Oh, and don't forget Pinterest!

Wait a second! I completely forgot about the Mary Kay products. Well, I guess you know what I'll be doing here in a little bit. I'll be excited to go through the box, as the new spring products have arrived. And my customers will be happy to get their orders soon. But, I had to take a moment to tell you about my "One Blessed Chicky" surprise. Sometimes, the littlest things mean the most!

Turn The Doorknob

Turn the doorknob and open the door of opportunity. OneBlessedChicky.com

I learned from an early age that if I wanted to get something that was on the other side of a closed door, I had to reach out and grab the door knob, turn it and open the door. There were also those times when I had my hands full and I couldn't open the door by myself so someone had to HELP me open the door.

The same principle applies to our life and the way that we witness. I've prayed for many years that "God would open the doors of opportunity for me" to be able to witness to unsaved family members and friends. Even the Apostle Paul asked the church at Colossia to pray the same thing for them:

Colossians 4:2-3 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison-- (ESV)

But, how many times in our lives have we had those doors of opportunity open for us and we never took the time to walk through them. Or we sit there and try to reason with ourselves, "Is that God telling me to do that or is it just me? Is the devil telling me to witness so I'll look stupid when I'm rejected?" For one thing, the devil is NEVER going to tell you to witness to someone! And if we have the opportunity, then it's definitely the Holy Spirit prompting us to share God's love, so we must walk through that open door!

But on the other hand, why wait for the door to open? Yes, the person on the other side of that door has to make a choice whether or not to open the door to you, but the good news is, the door has a handle on BOTH sides! In Acts 14:27, Paul and Barnabas were traveling back to Antioch after a successful missionary journey. When they returned home and got together with the other believers in the church, they shared with them about their journey and how God had used them to open doors of faith to the lost.

Thoughts to ponder:
  1. God is using us today to open up doors of faith and encouragement to those in need. 
  2. We are God's hands and His feet to the lost and dying world. 
  3. It’s time we stop using the excuse that "the door just didn't open" or "I didn't have the opportunity". 
  4. If you feel like your hands are just too full to open the door, then get someone to help you! 
  5. We have opportunities every day to evangelize to the lost and we sit and stare at the door knobs, waiting for them to turn on their own, or waiting for the person on the other side of the door to open it!
  6. The person on the other side of that door could be getting ready to take their last breathe, die, and go to Hell.
  7. Reach out and grab that door knob, turn the handle and walk on through. God is giving us the opportunity, what are we waiting for?

Remember, not all doors (or doorknobs) are the same. Some are older and require gentle hands to open them. Some are newer and open right up with no problem. Either way, it's exciting to see what waits on the other side of the open door. 

Turn the doorknob and open the door of opportunity. OneBlessedChicky.com

A prayer for us today: 

"Father God, I pray today that you will fill us with your Spirit afresh and give us the boldness that we need as sons and daughters of God to turn the knob and open the door of opportunity. Let us be the light and salt that you've called us to be. Whether it's at home with our kids & spouse, at the grocery store, on our jobs, or wherever the road of life takes us, let us be bold enough to open the doors and walk on through. In Jesus' name, amen!"

As always, go with God and God will go with you!

DIY Hummingbird Nectar



Save money with DIY Hummingbird Nectar made with 1 part sugar and 4 parts water. OneBlessedChicky.com

We're smack dab in the middle of a good ole' Midwestern winter snow storm! So, you're probably wondering why I'm blogging about hummingbirds? Well, since I'm closed up in the warm house, with no where to go (who would want to get out in this weather?), I decided to look through some old Instagram photos. I came across a couple of pics from 2 summers ago, before our house was built, and I started making my own hummingbird nectar. I found quite a few pins on Pinterest on how to make your own nectar, and they all basically said the same thing.... 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. 

So, here is my DIY Hummingbird Nectar. (And it worked, they loved it!)

HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR

Supplies:
4 C Water
1 C Granulated Sugar

Directions:
Bring four cups of water to a boil.
Remove from heat and add one cup of granulated sugar and stir.
Once sugar is dissolved, completely cool (can put in refrigerator overnight)
Pour into hummingbird feeder

There you have it. If your hummingbirds are like mine, you will need to make a batch a couple of times a week. I normally put out 2 or 3 feeders. Now that we have officially moved out to the farm, I'm excited to see my little fluttering friends even more.

As always, go with God, and God will go with you!



Until next time,
