My Hope Quilt Top
Stitching and praying . .
Wondering at His plan. .
Thoughts drifting back to years in Bradford, PA and all the snow . . . wondering if we'd fit in better there . .
More prayer needed ..
His Will above all else!!

Shoveling Snow
Yes, I enjoy shoveling snow. (Now, let me say, I'm talking about shoveling for fun because I want to, not under duress or at a forced march.)
You know the shoveling I'm talking about. The kind where you grab your winter get up and head outside to challenge nature. The shoveling where it's you against the relentless snow flakes in a challenge to the death. And also, the shoveling where you're free to stop to catch snow flakes on your tongue or marvel at the way your neighborhood looks buried under white fluff.
Yes, I enjoy shoveling. Making sledding ramps at the end of the drive so we can shoot across Iroquois Dr into the creek (seemed like a good idea at the time and sure was fun!!). The shoveling where you stop to tunnel into the deep snow packed into the ditch along the road.
Yes, I enjoy shoveling. The shoveling that includes and precedes fun!!

Grace
As I listen to the following song, it occurs to me that He is intervening and providing. He has seen all and knows our needs. He is opening doors to a place where we can safely be honest about our needs, dreams and what is going on around us. We are so blessed for all He is doing!!!

Genesis 47:6
"1611 KJV. Genesis 47
[6]The land of Egypt is before thee: in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell, in the lande of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any man of actiuitie amongst them, then make them rulers ouer my cattell."
As I read this it occurs to me that, as long as we are obedient to God as Joseph's father was, God will provide impossible blessings and comfort.
At this time in my life I am clinging to this.
Quilting and Planning Ahead ..
Taking a quilting break . . a time to think and pray. . although we are in an apartment, it doesn't feel permanent . . and, beyond that, our car is no longer bug out ready. . that is so not okay!!
This week we have to seriously clean out the car then reset it up. If there were to be an emergency, or we once again lost our housing, we would have a lot less hassle and stress with a completely prepped car!
On top of that, Matt and I have a kool adventure planned and a ready car will make it so much more fun!!

I walked 96 steps so far today . .
Most of that was at 3:00am when noise (in the radiator pipes??) woke me up. . I am soooo sleepy . . Thinking it's time to quietly munch some of the chicken I baked all night (kept apartment warm-ish) and try to fall back asleep .. today is my only day off and I usually try to sleep in . .
