Off to Spreading the Love!

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Come spread the Love with Me!

I have embarked on a journey of spreading some love……

I love nature!  I love photography!  But I also love people and helping them!  So……I have combined them! 🙂

Please help by checking the website out below and consider purchasing a canvas print.  20% of the net proceeds is going to build a fund to help cancer patients and their families personally.

I have been touched by cancer in my family as I am sure many of you have.  It is a devastating disease and heartbreaking for many to see those you love die an untimely and sad death.

When my mother and father were on their death beds, personal gifts and acts of kindness touched our families in beautiful ways.  In such ways, that I would like to do some passing on to other families that are fighting the disease as well.

Please check out http://www.ourcanvas-4cancer.com and consider helping by purchasing a canvas print and being a part of a bigger picture 🙂

My contact information is on the website as well as information to my gallery.

Thank you so much!

Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love!

Truth!

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

I found wholeness through the love of God when His unconditional love got a hold of me.  That’s it in a nutshell.  That is what I needed in my life.  A taste, the feel, the absolute knowing of what unconditional love was all about.  When I knew, that I knew, that no matter what I did before and who I was and the faltered person I still can be, that God loves me, there is a change that one will have in their heart that will be  so touching that it is unexplainable.  But – oh – so beautiful!

It’s your too – it’s everyone’s – and if you don’t feel it – ask God to meet you where you are at. I didn’t “feel” it right away either.  It was something I sought after.  Sometimes I think I ran away from it since it might have seemed foreign.  But – it is real – very real.

When it does get a hold of you – it will change you – and heal you.

God is a good God.  Unconditional love heals.

We need more of that unconditional love in the world and there would be more healing.  Period.  Truth.  What a wonderful thing that would be.  When I receive that – and I do – from my fiance’ – it is a feeling like no other.  This world would be changed.

Receive love – Give Love – True Love Heals.

Starts With Us. 🙂

Praying for a Beautiful Monday for Everyone!

Kelly 🙂

 

Challenge Anyone?

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Some people love to have a physical challenge to know they have conquered that goal.  Some love a mental challenge like spelling bees to feel the thrill of conquests.  I don’t know about you – but I really do like to challenge myself  personally to live each day as a better version of myself than the day before.  I like when I can lay my head down at night and know that I have done the best I could with what I was handed in this world called life.  Easy?  hmmmmm….NO!  Some days I want to bury my head in a pillow and either scream or cry……….the better question would be…….Challenging?  and the answer would be a resounding YES!!!!….but I like to be challenged in the emotional sense as well as physically and mentally.  I like to learn, grow, be stretched as a human and know that I am evolving into a better me. Not a better someone else but a better ME 🙂  –  You see, if we stop growing emotionally, we stop.  Game over.  Stagnant water.  Complacency.  Motionless.  Personally and emotionally we can become all of those things and our mind can just become dormant.  That’s personally how we become single minded or close minded.  I pray that I always have the heart to be challenged – to always have the hope in a world that doesn’t look hopeful at times, to keep the faith when things seem like they are falling apart and to spread love when I might be the only one spreading love at that moment.  Even more so, to show love in a hateful world.  Ouch.  Now that’s challenging.  And there are times I fail at that. Then I pick myself up – knowing I too, need help in that area and need to grow.  But I am willing to take the challenge and grow my personal and emotional muscles.  Are you with me?  Let’s spread kindness to people who might not be kind.  Let’s smile and make a difference.  Let’s do it randomly even when others are not.

 

Let’s enjoy life – Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love

Have a wonderful Friday!

Yes – There is a Plan

This was a Facebook post that I liked recently – why?  Because I agree with it 100% 🙂  — Believe me, there have been PLENTY of times I felt lost, alone and let me add – frustrated, confused and lots of other emotions as well wondering if God even knows what I am going through – kind of questioning- is He looking?  Does He know?  If we are going to be honest and straight forward – I believe everyone has felt that way one time in their life or another – and possibly more than once 🙂  —

I don’t push religion – what I will speak on is God and a personal relationship with Him.  I am not even attending the 4 walls of a church right at the moment but not knocking those who do.  I will step in at anytime and be just as comfortable as outside.  I believe we are the church.  Or should be.  Our actions – should show love and non judgment  and truth, if need to be spoken – be in love and non-judgment – as we work at this journey we are on called life. There is not anyone that is perfect.  I just try to get through the day being a better version than the day before and trying to spread the love I do receive from God who does love all.

The truth that hit me about this post was that He does know exactly where we are – what we are doing – how we are feeling – and He has a plan for us – a good plan – and He WANTS good things for us – for everyone.  Boy there is some Bible scriptures in just those statements and I will reference them at the end for you to look up if you want.  But in the end, it does hold true.

Sometimes we go off the beaten path because of what we think we want or what we think we know.  (I know I did 🙂  )  BUT He even gets you back on track if you want and He has done that for me too.

The Best News?  Even when I felt like Charlie Brown – and if you ever do too – God knows exactly where you are – and He does have a good plan for your life.  Keep praying and do not stop.  God meets you wherever you are 🙂

I hope you enjoy your day!

Wait? Are you worthy?

I know we do not go up to people we know or don’t know and ask the question……”are you worthy of my presence”, or me talking to you or my time, attention, etc?  But do we give off that attitude?  Ever?  Listen, I believe the key to self growth is evaluation of ourselves – the old looking in the mirror and that – my friend – is not always the easiest, fun or top priority on our list.  But, do we want to be approachable ?  Loving?  Kind?  A person that is thought of that has love, patience, and acceptance?  Or  a heart that has hate, judgment, an unforgiving heart or just a know it all attitude.  Our job really is just to love.  We truly do not know what other people are going through in their life, at the moment we meet them – even if we know them – what they are going through if they are keeping it inside.  True love breaks down barriers and lets healing begin.  It covers, protects and makes people feel safe and worthy.  And we all know those are wonderful feelings.  We have the power to make that happen for others – and yes, the real power is when they don’t really deserve because they are going through something and are acting out and our tenderness speaks to them.  Think about it.  Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Nature Pics – First Gallery Released

/ Kelly Savage / 2 Comments

Hi All!  I am excited to announce the release of my first gallery of pictures.  They concentrate on nature pics.  I have always loved nature and being in the midst of nature, whether the woods, near water or taking a hike.  It is something that calms our soul.  They are from different areas and it has been something I have been wanting to do for years.  My wonderful boyfriend, Steve, has encouraged me to go for it 🙂 – to share some pics and have people see what I see – I hope you all enjoy.  Hope it reminds you to stop and enjoy life – you know – smell the roses.  It is so easy to get caught up in things and certainly this thing called “life”.  Steve and I took a long weekend trip up to Connecticut a few months ago and we just enjoyed life, each other and moments like I tried to capture.  The beautiful world we live in – I know we can look at it another way for our world is full of sad things as well but – I guess it’s that never ending battle of half full/half empty – so I will continue to keep looking at the things I do have –

Love to all – smile – it really is contagious 🙂

Next Thing You Know…..by Matthew West

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

I was sitting eating my breakfast this morning and as I do every morning, I was thanking the Lord through out the morning, here and there for various blessings that were popping up that I was thankful for. The Holy Spirit reminded me that I had prayed about something and the Lord answered that prayer pretty quickly and sometimes we just don’t seem to recognize the “smaller blessings”. We seem to focus on the things we don’t have or are still waiting on……but He does listen! He does answer! He does care! It may not always be the way we want it to be or He may require us to adjust, there is no doubt about that. I am definitely here to testify to that one! I have had to have many attitude adjustments along the way and still do. Sometimes, spiritually, I am sure he looks at me like a teenager who is just wanting her own way 🙂 🙂 🙂

What I found interesting in my little talk with the Holy Spirit this morning was the fact of the what would be consider small, insignificant prayers as some people would call them. I beg to differ!! This is exactly what this one was! It was a small request, nothing big and it was all about little ole Kelly. However, the Holy Spirit did indicate to me that my heart was right in this one, and that is BIG to our Holy God. The Bible has allot to say about our heart. One verse that came to my spirit with this was……

Jeremiah 17:10:
“God searches the heart and examines the mind to reward each person according to their conduct , according to what their deeds deserve.”

and Acts 1:24 where it states that the Lord knows everyones heart and Proverbs 21:2 states that the Lord weighs the Lord in the matter

Gods word is full of heart scriptures and is clear that the condition of your heart is critical in our walk with the Lord.

Bottom line……God cares about even the smallest of things in our life and what our heart cares about. His precious Words even speaks about giving us our hearts desires! He wants to give us our hearts desires. He really does care that much. Does he want our heart to be right in the matter? Yes. We are to be walking each and everyday closer and closer to Him, be more and more refined into the image of Christ. And that means attitude adjustments. And that starts in the heart. And that is where God judges from.

The song I shared with you, Matthew West’s Next Thing I Know, catchy tune, isn’t it? I thought it tied in to today’s post for 2 reasons. First, at the age of 13 he was touched by Billy Graham. Where? In his heart but as you will listen he fell away a bit……we all do at times……where….in our hearts? But when he cried out in college again……a simple prayer….from his heart….God shows up……when we truly mean it from our heart….and I do mean from the heart ……and God will know when it is and when it isn’t….it will be a BEAUTIFUL thing……..soak this scripture in…..

Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are those who are pure in heart…..for they will see God”

Father God, thank You for the beautiful precious gift that you have given us in Jesus and that He died on the cross for us and that there is nothing that we have to do to receive that gift except to receive that gift in faith. Lord, thank you for receiving our prayers in faith and please search our hearts and minds and line them up according to Your will. That is our desire….is to live according to Your will. As we do that, we know that we will be blessed as Your Word says and we will see You. Thank you for answering our prayers, big and small and let us see how You are at work when we don’t see the prayers being answered right away. Open up our spiritual eyes to see. Thank You in the precious name of Jesus. Amen
