Hold The Fort...

 

~Be Faithful~

"Faith Honors God"

God Honors Faith...

True Faith produces people who are stable;

They look to God for Wisdom!

Knowing He will respond!

"Everything we do must be done by Faith"

Ask the Lord to protect your mind;

In these days as in the days of Noah,

We can see so many who are unstable,

They fly off the handle. Road rage is common.

They cry be tolerant of my bizarre looks and character.

The stranger the better they try to stand out!

Express yourself...

Humble yourselves before the Lord,

And He will lift you up!

James 4:10

True Elevation

It seems like things heat up in every arena,

But please don't be a Hot Head!

Watch and Listen

Cool Down

Just Breathe

Be stable and not double minded!

Worry Kills, but confidence in God is like

A healing balm...

"Trials do not make us what we are;

They reveal what we are!"

Greeting to all of my friends,

We are friends in a unique and different way.

Because most of us have never met!

But there is a bright future just down the road a spell.

So, Hold the Fort For He is Coming Again...

Here is a little photo of the 4 Jumpers

I have made so far!

I did the pleats on three of them, because the gathering

Made me Look Fluffy (SMILE)

I just want to encourage each of you to slow down;

Try to be mindful of the birds singing, 

Take pleasure in whatever you set your hand too!

And Don't Forget To:

Leave A Sparkle Wherever you Go

Hugs, Roxy

It May Be Time To Pull Back And Listen...

Sometimes We Just Need to Be Shielded

From the Onslaught of Busy...

Be Still And Know That I Am God

~ Enjoy the little things in life.

But one day you'll look back and realize

They were the Big Things~

I absolutely love this quiet season!

Some seasons are so busy you can't hear yourself think!

It's not that I want to hear myself think;

But rather hear the Lord directing my thoughts.

When you are not able to focus and you sense

a fever of the dreaded squirrel disorder!

It is time to pull back and re-adjust.

When the voices become a blur and you can't distinguish,

What is truly being said, you must slow down and be

Quick to listen...

I remember as a young girl being able to run everywhere!

After all, I had a pair of those PF Flyer Tennis Shoes.

But, I mostly just go at a steady pace.

Not quick or too slow

But moving in the right direction.

My calender is not so full of having to be here or there!

If I have the strength to do more on any given day;

I will just fly by the seat of my pants;

(Or Jumper)

God is always doing something new in our hearts

~If we will let Him~

When, I make a mistake when I am writing in my journal,

I will just pick out a pretty sticker and cover it up!

Don't make the mistake of not taking the time

To notice the little things in your day.

And if you do make a mistake ask God to forgive you!

And put a pretty sticker over the blunder!

The Word Says Love Covers a multitude of sins...

Happy Quiet Days

Much Love and Appreciation For Each

And Every One Of You...

Hugs, Roxy

Being Self-Taught Can Be A Hard Thing, But A Good Thing...

Self- Taught in just about everything!

I am going to make this pattern in a mock first using

A nice cotton muslin fabric first!

Before I start cutting out the pattern on the pretty

fabric I purchased for this Laura Ashley pattern!

I've had this sewing machine forever,

Nothing fancy but it's strong and reliable!

Being self-taught is a bit of a challenge!

I think we have stopped handing down many things

To the next generation!

Over the years I have told myself, you can do this!

Now, grant you I may be in the category 

"Jack of all trades and master of none"

But it has not stopped me from trying and learning!

I bought a beautiful piano and I'm still trying to teach myself.

I have had two different teachers that both lasted maybe a month.

I've taken watercolor painting classes in person and online.

I have been doing some sewing again after 30 years;

Sewing up some cotton jumpers!

The patterns might as well be written in Japanese!

Even the pictures are confusing?!#

But, the point I am trying to make is this;

We can learn new things without an instructor or teacher!

Mind you it would be nice to have some help.

But, in reality no one has time anymore.

One thing we have are helpful videos on the internet!

We can order books to teach ourselves!

Never stop short of learning a new skill;

Or advancing to a new level!

And remember it is so good for our brains too

Learn new skills and to follow directions.

I was not born with natural abilities in sewing or painting

But I didn't let it stop me from trying...

And we can help someone else to just try to learn

A new hobby or craft!

Share what you have learned!

I have this memory of my Mother teaching herself;

Of many things knitting, sewing, canning!

But while she was still here, I failed to learn from her

As much as I should have.

May we always be teachable of the things of the Lord.

But yet not afraid to dig deep into His Word all by ourselves.

Never stop creating beauty in your heart and your home!

Oh, I forgot to mention the one crafty thing that I have just

Had a ball doing, and it's called "Junk Journaling"

It's so much fun and relaxing!

I need to do a little post on this craft very soon!

What is a craft or project you have learned or taught yourself??

Blessings, Roxy
