Saturday's Song. Sunday Slow Stitching. Stash Report.

Saturday's Song

I heard "Eye of the Storm" again on the radio and it blessed me. As we go through the storms of life, He is the anchor that holds us in stormy times.
He's held me, continues to hold me and He'll hold you as well.
During stormy times, praise and worship help me see His truth, much like this song says. Clarity and peace come as I worship Him who hold us in the palm of His hands.

According to the story behind the song, it is based on Psalm 69.

May the LORD strengthen us as we learn to praise Him in the storm.

Slow Stitching Sundays
I finished this embroidery project for my granddaughter. It's called Follow Your Heart by Tamar Nahir-Yanai.

Next steps? Convert it into a pillow! I love making things for my grandchildren....sigh.....

Today I've also been binding a bow-tie quilt. It's my first time using scrappy binding and I'm loving how it is coming out! I'm hoping to share the finished product this Wednesday.
UPDATE: Here is the picture of the finished flimsy as well as a funny story about taking pictures of my finished quilts!

No changes in fabric usage this week.

last week - 38.80/100 yards

My next prayer shawl is coming along beautifully. I'm using a simple half double crochet pattern in hopes that the beauty of the yarn will be the focus rather than the stitch work.

Saturday's Song. Slow Stitching. Stash Report

Saturday's Song

I searched through the Earth
for something that could satisfy

A peace for the hurt I had buried deep inside

Knees on the floor, I finally found everything I needed

You lifted my soul and opened up my eyes

And I never knew anything lasts forever

Till I found You, till I found You

I never dreamed anything could be better

Till I found You, till I found You

You're rewriting my story

And I'm brand new like a morning

Oh, I never knew anything lasts forever

Till I found You

Till I, till I found You

Gone are the days I'm chasing after what won't last

I'm done with building these castles that crumble like sand

Oh, knees on the floor

I finally…

These lyrics describe my heart so completely. Till I found Him, I was lost, angry, resentful, bitter.......now I find peace in the midst of the storm, more self-acceptance than I dreamed was possible, hope instead of despair.......I bet you could turn your life around if you trusted Him. Here is a wonderful turnaround story!

Perhaps you relate to this song! Perhaps you could share your story in the comments?

He is the God who turns around the lost and hurting that they may be found and healed.
Slow Stitching

Today I'm hoping to continue stitching on this embroidery project. You know, our hearts can sometimes mislead us, so I've decided to stitch "Jesus" in the middle of the heart....maybe in gold thread.
