Browsing around in Small Blog Land

Ten or more lady-friends listed comments last week..... I felt oh...so... special!

and Fresh Sewing Day!!!

Oh... such Beauty..... Inspiration for a Quilt Feature!!

As long as I see beauty in this... God's great universe.... I shall quilt! This was sent to me by a dear lady.....  one of the few friends with which we share the same January 9th Birthday....   I posted our pic last year...yippee!!!   Reminds me of Psalm 91:4, He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.   "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain."    There is absolutely nothing to fear about tomorrow; for God is already there.

Hello and Goodbye December YR 2011

Happy link following a quilter friend.... @    

This last day of November proved really a headache stressor!

The dreams were real and horrible last night... I was shaking scared.....of an evil child...   I know better... I could have slapped some sense into that kid to stop him....   Oh well... too many tv shows.   I'm battling  a flu/cough bug with OTC drugs plus running short on my diabetes medication.    Life is real... waiting for payday.
Nevertheless here is a blog listing I'll keep.

A Bit unusual, but this nice blog --- I think the lady is 79 yrs old and celebrated a wonderful birthday --  so that I just want to keep her link.   I didn't see a google follow button.......

The picture really says how I feel.... waiting for God and his bright sunshine to open up!!!  I know He will.

Trust God from the bottom of your/my heart,   Don't try to figure out everything on your/my own....Listen for God's voice in everything you/I do. . . Everywhere you/I go... He is the one who will keep you/me on track.    Proverbs 3:5-6 (from the Message Bible -- a Translation)
