There’s Still More..

It seems like the longer I am crocheting, the less I have completed. 5 done – 19 to go. I am not giving. I have 6 more days to end this crazy crochet scarfs project. Time to get back to crocheting, every stitch counts..

What was I Thinking………

When asked what you could do to help out in the women’s shelter on Thanksgiving day. I was thinking maybe two or three people would like to learn, but since no one could give me an answer. I left the yarn that was donated to me for this project at home and just went in there with the thought of helping with the Christmass decorations.

I was surprised when someone asked about the amount of yarn I brought to show anyone. 

Me        : “I didn’t bring any, because I couldn’t get a number count.” Member :   “Good, because no one wanted to do it.” Me : “Okay, someone gave me some yarn. I can make some scarves. How many do you think I would need to make?” Member : “Only 23” Me          : Okay

I have no idea why I thought I could crochet 23 scarves in 18 days. My co-worker said she would do one for me. I got two made and I am working on two more now. It’s December 5th, I should get back to crocheting, because December 15, will be here soon.

I don’t know if I was told this or I heard it on TV, but these words are true. Think before you speak, because I want to keep my word, but my heart may be bigger than how fast my hands can move.

P.S – Sorry, this is a little off, but I am way too tired to try to figure out how the “Me” and “Member” line up. Time to eat, crochet a few rows, and call it a night…

You Don’t Know Me…

My job (no my young supervisor) got me upset I had to stop what I was about to keep repeating, “I really hate this place,” but then I felt back to one of my favorite songs from years ago “Yes Jesus Loves me -”

I was able to calm myself down. I then told myself to just breathe. I was thinking about getting a picture with those words, but Google gave me a song (wasn’t helpful). Then I thought why not put those words in my Bible app and get some real encouragement.

Daniel 10:17 NIV

[17] How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.”

https://bible.com/bible/111/dan.10.17.NIV

Then I asked: I will get through this

Philippians 4:13 NIV [13] I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

https://bible.com/bible/111/php.4.13.NIV

Numbers 16:45 NIV [45] “Get away from this assembly so I can put an end to them at once.” And they fell facedown.

https://bible.com/bible/111/num.16.45.NIV

Isaiah 43:2 NIV [2] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.43.2.NIV

I can spend hours on this app and Never get bored, but I need to take a few moments to close my eyes and put today out of my mind. I am blessed to know I am above what others see, because through Him I can do and be anything…..

Doing something you enjoy doing is the best way to spend your time, and if you can encourage others to follow their dreams as you did yours All the better. I am beyond over the paycheck-to-paycheck thing; it isn’t any fun. Who says you cannot have fun and pay your bills at the same time. It’s time to do something new. It’s time to be free to be the Best You – you can be.

Waiting IV a Package…

I spent all morning trying not to worry about my amazon package, checking the delivery time every ten to fifteen minutes, and when I missed my last check in. I was happy when it showed that it was delivered. My smile turned into a frown when I opened my front door. No package.

Okay, just breathe was my first thought as I went back into the house, to get a jacket, and started blessing an unknown person out as I walked towards the mailbox.

I saw a box, no my name wasn’t on that package, but when I opened my mailbox. I smiled when I saw my package and apologized for thinking the worst of my neighbors. (Sad, to say I have had a package or two.

I don’t think I am the only one who gets a little stressed over getting a package? I have one more to go, then I can relax.
