		<description>Kathy,

You are so kind to respond to my blog.  Although I am not an expert, I can at least share my experience and the lessons that I have learned.

You asked me how all of these things fit together.  The answer is simply APPRECIATION.  Appreciation of design, appreciation of beauty and an appreciation for Christ.  We should APPRECIATE beautiful things.  God is beauty.  

Beauty is abused when we possess things to fill empty voids in our life or possess things in an attempt to validate who we THINK we should be.  

Beauty is a gift when we utilize and respect our natural talents by sharing our knowledge and allowing others to learn and enjoy.

Stop thinking and start sharing your gift!

Wishing you fulfillment in all areas of your life!

Katie

P.S. Keep a humble heart, find joy from within and appreciate what God wants us to enjoy!</description>

		<description>Dear Katie, I found you because of the article on Cote De Texas.  I share similar joys.  The appreciation of beautiful things, a love of design, and a love of Christ.  How do all of these fit together?  God created us, and gave us the gift of appreciation of these things...so how does it all fit together?  This is my struggle too.  You are much further into sorting it all out though, and I really look forward to your thoughts.  It helps me so much with the right direction.  Today&#039;s post is where I am stuck now--too much thinking!!  Thank you for your blog!!  I look forward to your posts.  Kathy</description>
