Why My House Is Filled With Crosses and Verses

If you enter my house, your first thoughts might be something along the lines of: these people are Jesus freaks.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: we are. We are totally Jesus freaks.

And we're cool with it.

But there is a perfectly good reason why my house is filled with crosses and verses.

And I'm going to let you in on why.

My father's house was filled with swords, dragons, fairies, crystal balls, and all other kinds of strange mythical things when I was a teenager. And it always creeped me out a little. Mostly the dragons. Those things are scary looking.

But my father had a passion for collecting things that were important to him. He loved to read mythical stories and spent a lot of time telling me about King Arthur and his Round Table Knights. So, it only made sense that one of his passions would fill his home.

When the time came for me to decorate our house, I knew I wanted to fill our home with our main passion: God and his Word.

But not only that, I also firmly believe that where the name of the Lord is proclaimed, evil cannot enter. And because of this firm belief, my home is filled with the things that represent my Creator. And I sleep a little harder because of it.

So, I invite you to see what my house is filled with.

This was my great-grandfather's and it now hangs in my kitchen.

One of my favorite verses!
"Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires
of your heart."
Psalm 37:4

My brother-in-law made this
for my husband and I.
It is in a wall in our dining room.

A candle given to us by
one of my hubby's co-workers.

This cross sits on a beautiful
piece of furniture given to us
by Kelly's grandmother.

This is the reminder we have every time we walk out the front door
to acknowledge God in all we do.

And this cross accompanies the above
verse.
