I didn’t factor in cake size—placed 20 candles on this slice. Only 23 more to go.

This necklace came about while making some changes. I thought it appropriate to search out the term transform and really like what came up: a glyph action symbol meaning just that—Transform. And here is my version with a cross and alligator skin. I’ve posed a question at the end of this post. Comment below if inclined, friends. Thanks!
RENEW
And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
INSPIRE
I run 25 minutes a day. I study the benefits of exercise for 25 minutes before my run. When I read I get inspired. I get energized! The renewed mind leads right into the new action and it has become a cycle of success in an area of past defeat.
FUEL
What is difficult for you to take action on? If studying beforehand is fuel, how much time would you allocate for it?

A word from Mother Hendricks for me at Born Again Church bible study, March 22, 2017:
Rejoice and be thankful! As you walk with Me through this day, practice trusting and thanking Me all along the way. Trust is the channel through which My peace flows into you. Thankfulness lifts you up above your circumstances.
I do My greatest works through people with grateful, trusting hearts. Rather than planning and evaluating, practice trusting and thanking Me continually. This is a paradigm shift that will revolutionize your life. -Jesus
Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Ps 95:1-2 O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to Him with psalms.
Ps 9:10 And they that know Your name will put their trust in You: for You, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek You.

It took awhile to get it mounted. Some of the magnets were not cooperating. We went with extra strength ones for the bigger end letters and bottom strip.
Branded, thick, rawhide.
Nail, anchor, magnet, e6000 adhesive. I like the option of floating letters and this variable depth aspect makes it pretty slick. Just be careful to hold the anchor securely with a key tip or screwdriver while adjusting the nail toward you so it doesn't back out.
Printed the enlarged logo at FedEx office on their big printer. Cut pieces, then to weld.
Branding letters.
Me at the cheese helm.
