Weekly Inspiration

You Are Chosen

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…” – 1 Peter 2:9

You didn’t stumble into God’s love. He picked you on purpose.

Before you ever proved yourself, God called you His own. The world may overlook you, but the King of Kings chose you to reflect His light, carry His name, and walk in purpose.

You are not forgotten. You are set apart.

Today, live like someone who’s been chosen by grace.

Always Choose Joy,

Crystal

Hi there Reader! Still playing with surface pattern design to make repeating patterns for fabric and wallpaper. I get my inspiration from taking photographs of my flowers, upload to Adobe Illustrator, and use the pencil tool and the pen tool to outline them, then color them up. It is intense but so rewarding. I'll share my portfolio soon. I'm working on it. In the meantime, here is an alteration tip for you... Weekly DIY Alterations on a sequined dress for Homecoming Court. I always have...
