My Dollar Store Fall Decor

If you have been a reader here a while, you know that I really love Fall. I do decorate but I don't go all out and spend lots of money. Nothing wrong with that at all, but I don't have money to splurge like that :-) This year I decided to get a little more creative thanks to watching some Dollar Tree Fall Decorating YouTube videos. I tried a few DIY ideas and used other stuff I already had on hand. Here are some pics of what I have set up around the house.

Different Fall printables (I found online) hung on walls or sitting on tables.

I placed on different backgrounds.
These bottom 2 pics are other side table setups.

Thanks for stopping by to see my simple Fall Decor. It's nothing spectacular or anything. I just had fun and enjoyed setting this all up. I like marching to my own beat and doing my own thing cause it's what makes me happy.

TSW Daybook {9/10/18}

For Today: 9/10/18

______________________________

Looking out my window

I see the calm and stillness of the day. It's cloudy out and our high for today is 74 degrees.

I am thinking

I need to start back batch cooking or doing weekly meal prep.

I am thankful

My favorite season is just around the corner. It's always welcomed even enough to suffer through seasonal allergies like I have all weekend. It will soon pass so come on Fall!

One of my favorite things

The colors of Autumn and Fall foliage :-)

I am creating

A new section in my Bible notebook for what I am currently studying.

I am wearing

An orange shirt and jeans.

I am reading

My Bible: Chapters 1-2 in the book of Colossians. For the next 6 weeks I’ll be part of an online Bible study with other Christian ladies.

I’m watching

DIY Dollar Tree Fall decorations on YouTube.

I am hoping

I’m able to get more printer ink soon because I’m redoing my planners for the household and family.

I am learning

How to write Calligraphy. I have always loved the way this style of writing looks.

In my kitchen

Made some Peach Butter for the first time. YUM!

Board room

I’m glad I can now make Bone Broth and Stocks in my Instant Pot.

Post Script

I invite you to check out Conforming to the Truth. This is where I find some great Bible Study lessons for different books of the Bible.

Shared Quote

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

-Philippians 4:8 (KJV)

A moment from my day

Getting things out to start decorating for Fall :)

Why I Do Not Read the MSG Bible

I love reading God's Word. As I've grown and matured in my walk with Christ over the years, I do more than just read the Holy Bible. I study the Word of God as well. It is crucial for all believers to get into a regular habit of not only reading but studying God's Word.

Along with your Bible, you need good Bible Study tools like a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to help you to understand words in the original Greek and Hebrew language. This can also be used along with a Strong's Complete Bible Dictionary of Bible Words. Other great tools are a Bible Encyclopedia, Bible Maps/Atlas, and even some Commentaries (depending on the source).

Scripture says in these verses:

2 Timothy 2:15(KJV)

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Titus 1:9 (KJV)

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Here is a great video that explains about choosing Bible translations.

You can read about what the Message Bible (MSG) is as well as some beliefs the author Eugene Peterson holds to.

I cannot tell anyone which Bible version to choose. I only wrote this to encourage believers to dig in and study God's Words for themselves. How else will you know if what you hear is really in the Bible? I've been told things all my life that I found (after reading the Bible for myself) were not Biblically sound at all. We also don't just want to rely on Sunday morning sermons for all our spiritual food to live off of until the next Sunday, or whatever other days you fellowship with the brethren rolls around. You feed your physical body 3 or more meals a day to keep from being hungry. Your spirit is hungry so don't have a habit of starving it with long term fasting. That's not healthy so DON'T DO IT! Also, I wrote this to share my thoughts on why I don't choose to read certain Bible version like the MSG bible.  You can learn more about different Bible versions. Get into God's Word on a regular basis so you can grow closer to Him. He loves you and wants you to continue on building that personal relationship with Him.


Update: 10/2018
Check out "Is the KJV the best version?" It explains some great history behind this Bible version.
