Still Stitching #7. Yo-Yo's. Book Date. Waiting.

Still Stitching #7
Still Stitching #6 Still Stitching #8

So far, we’ve looked at these principles which I’ve begun learning and implementing in my life with my loved one. 

The first was:

 Then we looked at:

 And now we are looking at:

 

 As I was thinking about how to discuss this point, I realized that we are discussing detachment with love:  letting our loved one deal with the natural consequence of their behavior instead of rescuing them.

Oh boy!  Was this a hard lesson to learn – it still is – and sometimes I fail miserably.  But, as I pondered this point, the LROD spoke to me and said,

“When you are detaching with love,

you are NOT throwing your hands up

and quitting on your loved one. 

When you detach with love,

you are releasing them TO ME.”

Big difference.  I am NOT throwing my loved one into the great abyss of living out their natural consequences, I AM throwing them into the loving arms of my Father – of THEIR Father.  

Remember this point?

I know….it’s an excruciatingly painful process. 

And the results are unknown.

It’s during this time, I could – and continue to lean on His everlasting arms.

His will be done.

Until next time, Dear Reader.

Yo-Yo's  

Ever since I finished my Felt Nativity Calendar for my grandkids, I've been debating which hand sewing project to work on next.  I decided to pull out my yo-yo project.  Here is the next section.

It feels good to be working on this one as my portable sewing project!

Book Date
I'm still reading The Story and loving it!  








I Am Malala 
continues to 
captivate me as 
well!










I'm listening to Ordinary Grace and enjoying it as well.  I keep wondering what will happen....

Waiting

Here's the deal.

Yesterday I noticed changes in my breast - "the" breast that had cancer in 2014.  

My doctor has ordered a 3D, diagnostic mammogram as well as an ultrasound "just in case."

Circumstances dictate that I can have the mammo on Wednesday morning.  

So I wait.  

I know the rules of this journey.

It's takes a lot of waiting.

So I wait.

While I wait, Something Heavenly by Sanctus Real is my anthem:

The chorus is my prayer:

Whatever you're doing inside of me

It feels like chaos somehow there's peace

It's hard to surrender to what I can't see

But I'm giving in to something heavenly

- Something Heavenly by Sanctus Real

So, I wait.
Tomorrow's post will be filled with great Scriptures by a wonderful writer!
