The Snare of Compare

downloadable PDF.

I need to stop thinking
it drives me crazy

I feel so sorry my friend
who I drove crazy tonight
for almost 2 hours!!!

i love my life
I really do
but
with so many decisions to make
running my life with the peeps of mine
there is just lots to consider...daily......

I just feel like I flounder
all the time
should I?

ultimately, the Lord is in control
and at the end of the day
do these things matter?

if I am to be the hands of feet of Christ
am I?
do my closest neighbours (my hubby and kids) see Him in me?

what does a life transformed by Him look like?

I know I am transformed.......I certainly didn't to anything
He asked me to follow and I said yes!
and I am transformed
and I am and I feel like the more I learn about Him
the less I know

He is love, grace, mercy and hope, goodness and faithfullness
joy, peace....
rest in these truths

live with the crumbs on the floor
don't push away these sweet people
don't wish these days to go faster

the joy is today and now

today was a perfectly lovely day

my friend brought over stitching rings
and taught my kids how to embroider
even the boys!
what a blessing she has been to me

she picked up all the supplies, with kids in tow
set them all up
and came to our home to do it!
thanks Jules...what a blessing you are in my life:):)

so, for hours they worked on their pieces
we sat on blankets in the mud pit of our backyard
lovely
had snacks, embroidered and made wool soap

I do have pics but not yet

it was such a joy to learn something new
to do this cool project I have been wanting to do

and one good thing is 2 of kids were even inspired
to sew the crotch of their ripped jeans back together!

bubs and berry....3 cheers for you

next stage, is sewing their creations onto pillow cases

I am not a crafty person and need all the help I can get
so I look to my friends who are:)

thanks friends!!!

and to a new lovely friend:)
who shared her home and pool and
invited us all

and also had me not shut up
ugh!
thanks:):)
