  • Stitched in Christ

    After much procrastination, prayer, hard work, editing, and more prayer, a second ‘Knit and Crochet Bible Study Devotional/Journal’ is now available in Kindle and paperback formats on Amazon.

    I have no big testimony. I live a simple life. I often wonder how God can use someone who enjoys yarn crafts and loves teddy bears. Then I found the verse in Matthew 18 about seeking Him ‘like a little child’. To me this means look for His love, mercies, and grace in the simple things.

     

    This is not intended as a deep study of Scripture. It is designed to encourage you to “be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10); to seek Him in the small things, even in the gift of knitting and crochet He has instilled in you. It is designed to encourage you to seek a deeper relationship to become ‘Stitched In Christ’.

     

     

    I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God’s great mystery.  Col 2:2 MSG

  • My Life In Stitches

    My Life In Stitches

    I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. Colossians 2:2

    What stitch pattern would represent your life  For me, I think it is the ripple.

    With the ripple stitch, there are highs and lows. It seems I am always climbing high or rolling down.

    Things seem to be going smoothly, all is going as planned, when suddenly…….life happens.

    Perhaps a phone call with bad news, maybe a friend said something hurtful. Down I plunge. And while there I see everything in the negative.

    Then a gracious smile, a pleasant conversation, and I am rising again.

    It continues like that.

    But then I look back at the pattern after a few rows are completed. It looks lovely  A color change here and there and suddenly what seemed confusing and disjointed becomes a warm blanket.

    While facing the ups and downs I feel alone, there is no rhyme or reason. Then I look back. Look how far I have come! Even if I have to frog a bit, there is still a patch that shows me I have made progress. It is here I stand, knowing I may roll down the hill, but realizing I always climb back up.

    What stitch pattern would describe your life?
