Hello, Hello, friends! I am so excited to start this months kit, Word Nerd.

I will be studying the word HOME.

With the holiday season approaching, I want God to remind me of how my home should resemble Him.

My heart for this post is to encourage us to cultivate a warm home and eternity focused home.

Join me as we set aside the busy of life and ponder God’s design for our homes.

Much love,

Bekah

Let’s Reflect!

Friends, do you see the contrast between the house of the wicked and the home of the blessed?

God doesn’t just curse the house of the wicked, He has utter detest for the house of the wicked, but He adores the home of the righteous.

I want a home that God adores!

Let’s Create!

For this page, I pulled out some of my favorite fall printables! I started with my title and added the Hebrew word and concordance number.

I grabbed a few keynotes and added the definition of the word home so I could remember what this verse was talking about.

Next, I used the Word Nerd stamps. How cute is that little girl??! Love her top knot!

To finish the page I added some journaling, paint splatters and a few of these vellum crosses.

additional supplies: Paint brush | Versa Mark black ink
