"Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created" Esther 4:14 So yeah. This verse came up in my fb newsfeed recently. Once upon a time there was a magazine entitled "The Quilt Life" the premise being that quilting and life are so intertwined that we lead a Quilt Life.

Wait
Psalm 13: How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my … Continue reading Wait
Well, that wasn’t what I expected
Sometimes I think I've told the tale and I did, so here's the link. Oh wait, not quite sure what I'm talking about?

Hearing this is like drinking water, refreshing my soul. As this drinking water continues the creative energy that has laid dormant for … Continue reading On Being Responsible

The gift of knowing
There are words stuck in between the ears waiting to spill out from the brain to the keyboard. As I read a blog on perspective so many thoughts wanting to spill out onto the page.
