"To create a baking-cup Christmas tree, drill a hole into the center of a 3" wooden disk. Insert a lollipop stick into the hole and secure with hot glue. Spread glue over top of disk, sprinkle with glitter; let dry. Cut an X into bottom of small to large baking cups. Insert lollipop stick through largest cup, push to bottom of base, and hot glue in place. Slit next cup along one side and up to center to facilitate sizing. Wrap around bottom cup. Glue sides of slit cup together, then glue into place on "tree" to prevent shifting. Continue to hot glue subsequent cups in graduating sizes up to the top. For trim, hot glue 6-mm tinsel-type colored pipe cleaners to paper-cup edges. Glue a bead to treetop, cover bead with glue, then sprinkle with glitter." - Country Living Magazine

When You Say Nothing At All


Silent Prayer by kev

SAFE By Phil Wickham

In the chaos I am there
I have come to bring peace in the chaos
Joy in the pain
Hope through the suffering
I am holding you
Through the chaos
I am holding you.

A cloud of chaos
Brokenness and suffering
Youve been here for so long
Youve been crying out
Hear My voice
Through the chaos
I am there.

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally be
Release the anger
Release the sadness

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

My child I love you
I am with you through the chaos
Hear My voice calling out to you
Feel My arms holding you
Embrace My love setting you free.

Through all the chaos
I have been there
Calling you
Restoring you
Healing you
I have been with you always
Even when you didnt know Me.

I have been there
Through all the anger
Through all the sadness
Through all the pain
I have been there
Through the chaos.

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally be
Release the anger
Release the sadness

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

Lift your hands
Receive the freedom
Receive the blessing
Lift your hands

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

I will praise you as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands and my eyes to you! Psalm 63
