Day 5 - Sunny

Meet Sunny!  She's my new BFF.

I plan to teach her to knit.

Day 4

More knitting.

Days 2 & 3

Yesterday and today have been filled with more knitting time.  As I knit, I think, and all this thinking is a good thing.  I know I'm spread too thin.  And I know I try too hard to make everyone happy.  My husband says "I'm only one man", and the truth is that I'm only one woman.  I'm a lot of things to a lot of people, but I'm still just one.  "I can do everything through him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13 really appears to be my life verse.   I hope in all this doing, I'm not missing out on the relationships I should be building - especially my relationship with Christ.  Our campus pastor Chris spoke today about God hating religion, and it really got me thinking - I am involved in multiple ministries, but am I missing out on my relationship with Christ?  Is all this running around and serving taking me away from my genuine quiet time with him?

It's a lot to think about.  One of my goals is to 'live out loud' - just be me and the best me I can be.  It sounds like a simple goal, but I've found it's not so simple.  There are so many outside influences that push me into a box (different boxes in different situations, but a box none the less).  I pray that one day I can let go of all those outside influences and just hear God telling me how to best be me.

30 Days of Creativity

(I tried to post this yesterday, but it didn't work)


I've been hearing a lot lately about people committing 100 days or a year to doing something creative everyday. I'm not sure I could do 100 days, but I should be able to do it for 30!  And who knows?  Perhaps this will grow into 100 days.

So here's day one - I cast on a mystery project. (it's a gift for someone I know, so I'm keeping it a secret).
