"Doing the things I love"

So, I finally started sewing, something I have wanted to do for a VERY long time.  Two nights ago I learned to use my sewing machine, learned all the different parts, learned how to sew in a straight line, and how to sew using different stitches.  I even made coasters!  Tonight, I went back, and started making a pillow, which I finished at home. It was a major stress reliever! I felt so happy knowing that I made something that I enjoy! In the long run, I plan on decorating our home with things I make myself, such as pillows, curtains, tablecloth, etc, and hopefully start using patterns to make little projects for myself and the future children God will bless me and the hubby with.

"Pray Without Ceasing"

It's been a while since I've written anything, but today while doing my devotion, I stumbled upon something worth writing about. "Today, make yourself a woman of prayer. Instead of turning things over in your mind, turn them over to God in prayer. Instead of worrying about your next decision, ask God to lead the way. Don't limit your prayers to meals or bedtime. Become a woman of constant prayer. God is listening, and He wants to hear from you." I have had so much going on lately, I have been stressed out, can't fall asleep, always have something on my mind. I have done some microwave prayers, but to be honest I have not really given the problems completely to God. That's something I am working on. I think I have control issues. I want to take care of things on my own, solve my own problems, but that's not what God wants. When I am hurt, when I am in the dark and I can't seem to find where the door is, or where a window is, I have God to turn to. He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest." How lovely would it be to rest in God? I am letting go, and letting God have His way.  He always seems to find a way to talk to me, and to let me know I don't have to walk this earth alone, I don't have to find solutions to my problems because He is the ONLY solution.

              "Thank you Lord for being my solution. Thank you for answering my prayers (big and small). Thank you for your plans for my future, your plans to "prosper me and not to harm me." Your plans to give me hope and a future." Lord the next few days and months are in your hands. I don't know what to do, I can't see that far into the future to plan things out, but I know its already been taken care, for what I cannot do, what I cannot see, where I cannot go, you can because you are an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent  God. Thank you Lord for your guidance, your providence, your mercy, and your grace.  Teach me to listen and hear your voice. Help me to follow in the footsteps of Jesus your son. Bless my friends and my family, bless the rest of the day, in Jesus name, Amen."
