Three Minute Retreat Isaiah 49:6 - I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. Spirit of God, move through me. Help me to use my gifts in cooperation with God’s plan of salvation. So, I'm not frustrated, but had this (probably once again) epiphany of … Continue reading Frustration redux

Conversations about Faith
Sometimes as I sit to write the words flow freely from my heart and mind to the keyboard, onto this page. I have an idea of where to go, not so much a clear path to get there. Occasionally the where I think this is going, and where I end up are incredibly different. … Continue reading Conversations about Faith
Sharing a couple of blogs
Like a lot of people I subscribe to some blogs either in the WordPress Reader or via email, sometimes both. Somehow I've subscribed twice to one blog, which still has me puzzled. One day I'll deal with it, but not today. Beauty Beyond Bones posted Like a Woman Scorned. I may not have had a … Continue reading Sharing a couple of blogs
Borrowing Worry
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Oh the thoughts I think while sipping coffee, with music playing in the background, facebook in another tab, and a mental checklist of what's going with me today. I'm heading off to a friends to baste a quilt (or two … Continue reading Borrowing Worry
Define, Refine
I'm sitting in my living room trying to write this blog post for the third, maybe fourth, time. A Quilter's Heart is akin to the prayer journals that I once kept daily. I miss that time with God, handing all of those big, and little things that filled my heart with joy, with love, with tenderness, … Continue reading Define, Refine
I thought I lost the words
I didn't. I haven't even misplaced them. Like some people I can read upside down and backwards. I can write, and quilt, words backwards. This might be one of those skills that allows me to be a fairly decent quilter. (And before you say anything I'm not seeking compliments on my quilting skills, promise.) I like … Continue reading I thought I lost the words
This is the moment
"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. Each day there is … Continue reading This is the moment
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
As you may know
In both Creation stories in the book of Genesis God Created the physical world, giving it form, function, whimsy, oddity, and people. It is the people who are entrusted with the care of the physical world. God gave us, and therefore dignified work. Most work is good, giving us the opportunity to grow closer to … Continue reading As you may know
Moved to Tears
We are a one car family at the moment. It's a little challenging now and again, however we gotta do what we gotta do. Today, as of the moment of this writing, is Good Friday. One car, so walking to the local parish for the celebration of the Passion of our Lord. The walk was … Continue reading Moved to Tears
