Surprises

I have been wanting an embroidery machine for several years. I have researched and asked fellow sewers, what, how and prices. Done my homework so to speak. I went to the local sewing shop and asked for demo and pricing...OUCH!!I realized this was going to take some time and planning(budget wherefore aret thou?!?). I mentioned to hubby that I wanted one, but couldnt figure out how to get one on my budget...well I could sell one child and still have 3 but that seemed a little extreme even for me :) I kinda put it on the back burner..I didnt really think it was a big enough thing to pray about. But My heavenly father knew the desires of my heart...even the secret ones. He set R up with a couple that not only supplied him with work for several months, but who also "just happened" to have a top of the line embroidery machine they wanted to sell, since she had upgraded. I was excited, then searched on-line and realized even this would take some time and saving...WELL...today R asked me to come out to the job and meet the couple and see their newly remodeled kitchen (read a little jealousy here) and she showed me the machine...when we were ready to leave, R said "Well, take your machine and lets go home"...YEAH GOD...smooch hubby :)

Homesick

I finally feel I have something worth saying..so here goes.
I see daily and hear so much about how evil and how bad the times are. I agree it seems hopeless. But my friend we are not without hope. Our hope is in the one who created the world with a spoken word. Do you not trust HIM to handle it?
The reason we are so uncomfortable and feel so squeezed, we are supposed to be. We do NOT fit here, or at least we shouldn't, and we should stand out and be pressured.
This is not our home, we do not belong here. We belong to HIM and the home HE has created for us. The reason we are not there? We have work to do... there are those who are not ready. Let's get the job done so we can go home... It is 4:30 and the final whistle is about to blow..who comes to your mind in this instant who isn't ready to have their time card cancelled. RUN, GO, TELL !!!
As the words I heard in a song recently "I've never been more homesick than now!!!"
CYA here, there or in the air!!!
