Thank you so much for the 3 meanings of be still. I got into some trouble and this verse kept coming to me. It seems that whenever I'm doing to much God sits me down and says be still. Thank you for breaking the scripture down for me. I'm still learning but I have a better understanding of psalms 46 10. Thank you

Shawna, I love the Home sign. Can you tell me the size of the letters used? Can't wait to make this!

I will have to check when I get home to my laptop. I just made it as large as I could to fit on a regular piece of printer paper depending on the font. I’ll check when I get home. I can’t wait to see what you make! ❤️Shawna

Hi Shawna! Just wanted to say that your writing is beautiful and what shines through us Jesus and not Shawna. How amazing is that?! A rare find especially in the online world. Streams in the desert has been a constant inspiration for me to cling to only Jesus and becomes more precious each year I read it. Thank-you for being a voice of truth!

Wow! Thank you, Stephanie. I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. You are such an encouragement to me. I appreciate your kind words. I hope you are well and staying safe. Love, Shawna

Shawna, you are doing a fantastic job with this site. How beautiful it looks and you certainly have a way with words. God has certainly blessed you with a gift...and you heard Him when He spoke....I'm still listening. The closer I can get to the Lord, the easier it is to recognize His voice, when He tells me what He wants me to do. It's all about the relationship.. .love ya! Rose Ann
