A Wimp No More! Part 1 Stash Report. Patrick's Strength

A Wimp No More! Part 1
Part 2 is here
I'm going to deviate a bit from our study on Philippians to share a testimony.  I have had a HUGE breakthrough in my walk with Christ!

There has been a situation in our lives that has been negatively affecting me - reducing me to tears,

weak prayers,

fear,

anxiety....

you know the drill. 

BUT NO MORE!  

Yesterday as I reached out to friends for prayer, one of them called me.  Basically, she told me I needed to stand strong in my faith so that those involved would be strong as well.  Mind you, she said this with great tenderness and love.  

I put on some praise and worship music and WOW!  The Holy Spirit fell on me and my home in a powerful way!  Prayers for the situation rushed out of my mouth in a loud, strong faith-filled voice!  

I prayed with authority, tears and victory!


Yesterday, I began a new, deeper journey with God!  I will no longer be a wimp for God!  He is raising me up to be a prayer warrior for my family.  I will fight for them on every side.  

A WIMP FOR GOD NO MORE! 

May I encourage you today to pray boldly for your family and loved ones?  You might just be surprised!

Patrick's Strength
I've started yet another crochet project - It's an afghan for a young teenager that has been recently diagnosed with cancer. He is an only child and has a mass on his knee, rib and (I believe) his hip.  

So, I'm making him an afghan in his colors: red, blue and black.  It's called "Patrick's Strength".  

As God reminds you, 

would you please pray for him?

My goal is to crochet 9 - 10 rows a day to have it finished in 10 days.  We'll see!

Here is our humble beginning!

I'm using I Love This Yarn! in

Fire Red (270), Royal (80) and Black (30).

I'm using a ripple pattern with a 5-3 repeat.  

Vicky (you may have noticed her comments on some of my posts) mentioned a 7-3 repeat.  

After a bit of research, 
 l learned that 

there are many variations to ripples.

I went to my go to book, 

Encyclopedia of 300 Crochet Patterns, Stitches and Designs by Doris M. Smith.  

It's an oldie, but goodie!
