Beginning with Thankfulness

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God;
may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Psalm 143:10 (NIV)
So, yeah. I've been looking at that verse for weeks and praying that it'll become written on my heart. There are so many times when I have been struggling with "life" and from the dirt, a flower will spring up that will help remind me that if not for God, (the God of the universe, the God who is and was and will be forever) there would be no good at all in my life: No good health; no good family relations; no love; no comfort; no sweet puppy dog to come home to in the evenings.

Were it not for Him, I'd be miserable, hopeless and, well, to be frank, I'd not exist at all - nothing would. It's a comfort to know that He is there - that He is in control even when I don't necessarily want Him to be - that I don't have to fear the future. God knows and provides what's best for me because I love Him - so I don't have to worry and that is something HUGE to be thankful for.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
