Faith Builders
Faith is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I love to reflect on my purpose in life, and evaluate the way I conduct my life, based on the insight and instruction found in God's word.
I often ponder my goals and objectives about where I fit into the the Kingdom of God, also known as the Church, or the Body of Christ.
Those are a lot of names that simply define us as members of a unique, living entity that collectively is known as the "CHURCH."
Jesus is the head of this body, and Christian women are devoted to developing our relationship with him.
Spiritual growth and maturity require a deeper commitment than it takes to just live life on it's own terms!
Spiritual Identity
* What does it take to strengthen and develop one's spiritual identity?* What is faith, and why is it necessary?
* What does faith have to do with everyday life?
* How do I strengthen my faith?
* Where does faith come from?
* How does faith make a difference with the problems I face on a daily basis?
This drawing tells the story of the night that opened the floodgates of revelation about God's Good Plan for me...
It was a painful time that was the beginning of my education in FAITH!
I was slightly less than full of faith that night as I stood under the stars;
in the snow;
and shouted at Dad...
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"

Home Builders
Life is a constant transition; family members move away, children grow and marry, jobs come and go...One of the constants of life is the love of our pets! This is my Max... he's a Turkish Longhair, and my favorite nap buddy!
Pets are a wonderful way to fill your life with a daily reminder to PLAY and enjoy the beauty of God's creation!
Proud Mamma!
This beautiful young woman is my daugher, Heather Lynn...she's a wonderful woman who loves her mom, loves her husand, her kitty...and her continuing journey of discovering what she wants to be when she grows up!Like everyone, our lives, interests and goals change; and we are happy to have learned to fully engage in and enjoy that process.
Part of that process is our understanding of God, and how our relationship with Him enriches, defines and directs our lives.
Heather's Heartfelt Memories
She loves God with her whole heart, and we talk often about the scriptures, and how they relate to our life.
It's wonderful when God keeps his promises...
"He setteth the solitary in families."
Psalms
Like Faith... Squidoo Runs in the Family!
Heather is the BEST when it comes to the home building and wedding planning

Heather's Heartfelt Memories...
Bootsie
Once upon a time...this was "my" chair!
I Corinthians 13 tells us that love bears all things...That's why Bootsie gets away with taking "my" chair!
Max
Upside down is his favorite place to be!
The Importance of the Animal Kingdom...
I can't stress to you how much love these two beautiful kitties have brought to my life!When I was sick and alone; they were there to love me, coax me to play...they helped me maintain a regular routine on the days when depression would have kept me in bed...
Hungry kitties will drive you out of bed; for sure! But, just as we do; they need more than just food and shelter...
They were there to make me laugh and play as they insisted (daily!) on their needs being met!
It's a lesson that serves us well to remember!
"I have come that you might have life, and life more abundantly!" John 10:10
Moving Ahead....
As you can see, my life is filled with lots of love, and many wonderful people!That hasn't always been the case...I've been on the journey of a lifetime; and I have lots of stories to share!
Stories that I hope will encourage you to open the pages of God's Holy Word, the Bible...and find begin to earnestly seek out His Good Plan for YOU!
Like me, you'll no doubt discover...it's not just a GOOD plan, it's a GREAT PLAN...filled with lots of love, action, daring and adventure.
Life in Jesus is an exciting way to live...come on, join us in the adventure! We invite you to become a woman of great resource, grace, mercy and successful living!
Come, find your place in the kingdom, the Church... aka The Body of Christ!
Connie Walcott... "aka"
You'll see that little "aka" behind my name quite often! It's because like all women, I wear many hats, and they each one have a place of their own!Check out my links to some of the other ways I express my faith through my art and creative endeavors!
You know me as God's Grace Notes, Connie's Craft-a-Holics Club and Ye Royal Party Planner, but whatever hat I'm wearing for the moment, my life is aimed at building faith.. in myself; my family, and in my community at large!
I invite you to join me through the Word of God for a lesson in building your faith. It's a journey you won't want to miss... so, let's get going!
There's a lot to learn, and I can hardly wait to tell you about my best friend. He wrote the book, and we spend a lot of time discussing it.
His name is Jesus, and he would love to get acquainted with you as well. Just read and listen, you will hear his voice and it will be the sweetest sound you have ever heard!
He's the original "Grace Note"... and his life is a symphony of unconditional love.
It's Me.. and Me... and Me Too!

Christian Women's Resources Has Played an Important Role in My Faith Journey
Christian Women's Resources.
I have found her to be sincere, warm, encouraging, and very insightful about the needs of Christian women.
Not only that, she's a complete genius when it comes to the technical side of Web 2.0!
Women's issues are universal, but in the world we live in, we need to address them from a Christian perspective; based on the instruction, wisdom and insight that is available to us in God's Holy Word, the Bible.
It's a unique perspective that gives life to the hearer, and the Bible instructs the "elder" women to teach the "younger" women.
I'm the elder, and Lori's the younger (in chronology) but we share lively discussions about the Bible, and how we want to impact the world with it's life giving message.
I've learned much about faith in my life journey thus far, so I'm writing this lens to introduce you to the story of a life gone wrong, and the faith it took to re-direct it's course to happiness and fulfillment!

Congrats on becoming a Giant Squid! You wear me out, girlfriend, with all the things you do, but you are still such an encouragment to me. If I could have half as many lenses as you, maybe just an XXLarge Squid, I'd be happy! God bless! Posted September 27, 2007 |
