your Cross and follow me. Then he [Jesus] said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily* and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there … Continue reading Take up

Repair!
When the opportunity happens, and I'm in the car with SiriusXM at just the right time either Jennifer Fulweiler or Hallie Lord are on. One of them had Leticia Ochoa Adams as a guest, and I really enjoyed something about her, so on and off I've been reading her blog. This week, Death Be Not … Continue reading Repair!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjwefyT4_80 You did not create me to worry, You did not create me to fear But You created me to worship I'm gonna leave it all right here There is a distinct difference between knowing something, and experiencing something. And sometimes when the experience of something is so incredibly beautiful you want to go back … Continue reading Moved
This is Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=witKT8Y6Da8 I listened to this song the other day and thought I'd share it here with you. I love Matt's voice, I love that he shares this gift of singing with the world, expressing his love for and relationship with the Lord. I'm teaching quilting locally on Saturday, we're going to be making a color … Continue reading This is Love
A song in the head is worth
Waking up with a song in my head is something of a frequent occurrence that often leads to a faith in quilting connection. It's been a little while since this is happened and the connection is a little elusive. I woke up with the refrain of the song: "We Exalt Your Name" by Kari Jobe … Continue reading A song in the head is worth
Reminders
One of my favorite priests has a saying, "we don't need new teachings, we need reminders." On TerifiCreations I have a Tutorials and Helpful Hints page, these are reminders for me and others for when things are going kaflooie! Reminders are things we've learned, or that others have learned that work, most of the time. … Continue reading Reminders
When worlds collide
This morning I woke up with a deep sense of gratitude, and began this day expressing this gratitude to God. This expression was later confirmed as I finished Hallie Lord's book On the Other Side of Fear: How I Found Peace and completed a chapter in The Morning Miracle where both books spoke of expressing … Continue reading When worlds collide
Control
Control—that ever-elusive dream. We all crave it, and yet our faith reminds us that we’re never really in control. We may try to convince ourselves otherwise, but usually we find out the hard way that even our best attempts to steer every last detail of our lives won’t give us what we’re seeking. So part … Continue reading Control
Untangling
Happy Wednesday! It is good to be here in 2018. It's a good time to be a quilter. It's a good time to be discovering something so hang with me here... So often we look in the mirror as if through a glass darkly, seeing not what God has created but what we have created … Continue reading Untangling
I don't know if you know this about me but I can be a bit snarky. Shocking, right?! Not really when considering that I grew up in New England and it's second nature. Depending on circumstances I do try to be careful as not everyone can see my face (the Big tell-all), appreciates, or gets … Continue reading
