Philippians 3:15. Twisting Away! New Feature! I Like!

Philippians 3:15.
Scripture

Observation
Paul is saying that his view is correct.  He is trusting God to make clear this point of view to those who think differently about this (Philippians 3:1-4).  
Application
Wow!  Now THAT is confidence!  Paul is so sure he is correct - and I agree with him.  To those who don't agree he is saying:
1) they are immature in the LORD
and 
2) he is trusting God to show them the Truth.

Very interesting.

How many do we know that are faltering in their faith?
in their lives?

And it worries us.
And it concernes us.
And try as we might to not let it, 
it affects our lives as well.

What wisdom is in this verse for us!

¹⁵ All of us, then, 

who are mature 

should take such a view of things. 

And if on some point 

you think differently, 

that too God will make clear to you.

Philippians 3:1

I can share a bit of my story - but only a bit because the majority of the story isn't mine to tell.

We see someone going through growing pains, hurting, trying to make the right decisions and live out those wise decisions in spite of the pain they may cause.

We love them.  
We want the best for them.
And all we can do is pray for them
as they, together with God,
make their way.

But, pray is not just ALL we can do.
It's a ton.
It's powerful.
May you - and I - find comfort in this as we pray for ourselves and then our loved ones:

Let us also remember this:

Prayer

Abba, You know my heart today.  My prayer is simple.  I pray this for myself and for my loved ones today:

9 And this is my prayer: 

that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 

10 so that you may be able to discern what is best 

and may be pure and blameless 

for the day of Christ, 

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—

to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1:9-11

Abba, 

I also know that 
this verse and song are true!  
I claim them for myself 
and my loved ones 
today - and always.
Amen!

Twisting Away!
I'm continuing to enjoy progress on my Pretzel Twist!  Four more blocks have been completed

and I've laid out 

the last three blocks 

on my cutting table! 

I'm hoping to get this one 

to Stephanie this Saturday

so that she can work 

her long arm magic!!

New Feature!
Once upon a time, a very long time ago, this quilter took inventory of her fabric stash.....and promised herself never, ever, ever to do that again!  However, I do need some kind of accountability if I'm truly going to meet my goal of sewing through my stash.  

Maggie @ Making a Lather keeps a very simple stash report.  I've decided to follow her format for both (gulp!) my fabric and yarn stash beginning June 11, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016.  Then I'll begin a new year in January.  

Thus far, it has really helped me to NOT buy fabric - except for this 2 cuts - both 1/3 yards!  :)

So, just so you'll see, Here is my stash report thus far.  

Instead of posting it once a month, I'll post it every time I buy fabric/yarn.  Otherwise, I may "forget"!
