Beautiful Scandalous Night

We sang this hymn in church on Sunday and I found these words so beautiful. Look it up on iTunes and enjoy :)

Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified

Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flowed
For you and for me and for all

At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night

On the hillside, you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that poured
From our blessed Savior's side

Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified

Lovely Lighting

In the process of writing my last research paper for school I have wandered over to Etsy where I found this lovely doo-dad:



Oh how I would love to have these lovely random mustard chandeliers hanging in our new place. Maybe I shall make them....

New Look!

No need to refresh dear friend, this is Beantown Chroncs, just new and improved! My sweet, creative, talented, and beautiful friend Maggie designed the header from the actual Boston skyline. Shoot her an email if you want to hire her for your own graphic design project!

Simplicity

In Paul's 1st letter to the Thessalonians he instructs them "to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you" 1 Thessalonians 4:11

I love this verse. Somewhere in these words I find rest and the call to create. I like to think that because we are made in the image of the Creator, we also have the desire to make and mend. In our brokenness we reflect the image of Christ, making things with our hands just as God knit us together.

I find this calling most alive in my desire to make our house a home, redeeming it's beauty one project at a time.

With a small budget, limited space, and a novice craftswoman, I invite you to join me in the making of our new little nest.

Stay tuned.....

Treasure Hunt

So I found this little beauty for 50 DOLLA on Craigslist the other day..... it will definitely be making an appearance in our new pad. And we bought it from a 103 year old woman, true story.

Back in town

The past week has been filled with lots of hanging out....

Dominating the relaxation station

And hanging with some of my favorite people
