A Faith & Quilting Blog
I'm currently working on editing a video interview. A couple of months ago I knew how to add a couple of features and now, because of lack of practice, I don't remember. Thankfully I have a friend who will help me so I'll be back up and running fairly quickly. This is a good reminder … Continue reading Asking for Help
On and off over the last couple of weeks I've been waking up with a song in my head. Sometimes it's the melody only, like a delightful ear worm, and others it's words and music. I'd missed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7tpWU_JlhY This mornings Lead me to the Cross by Hillsong seems so appropriate as Lent begins Wednesday … Continue reading Lead me to the Cross
When I started this post about being on the road to new life it seemed as though I'm entering something new,. Something allowed me to see that this is refreshed life. That the things that happen are all part of life, that trying to separate these things out and put this experience in this box, … Continue reading The Road to New Life
I spent a whole lot of Saturday in the sewing room working on a couple of projects. I fiddled around with a small piece for 1000 Postcards for Peace. Once I find the envelopes I need this, and two other pieces will go in the mail. There is something beautiful that comes from the making … Continue reading Deeper Peace
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.

When I first started going it was particularly challenging because my personal preference would be to blend into the nearest wall, becoming invisible, unseen. This wasn't about me … Continue reading Have I ever shared
You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful
Psalm 139: 14 I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know. The Psalms, ah the poetry that sings to the soul, bringing our ever simmering emotions to the surface, out in the open for all to see. Psalms run from joy and ecstasy to downright rage … Continue reading Value
"God writes straight with crooked lines" is a line from a friend. I'm not sure where he heard it however it doesn't matter the source. It's a reality I've lived my entire adult life. I remember praying once that I wanted to be a missionary but "God please don't send me to New York". Uhm, … Continue reading Sometimes my favorite word is “Recalculating”
Patti said in response to a fb status update: "I find a big issue for me is my pride doesn't want to keep going thru the painful stage. I feel like the world's longest beginner! But I'm committed." As I ready Patti's response this verse from Proverbs 16 came to mind: "Pride goes before disaster, … Continue reading Getting to the heart of the matter
