My week has hurriedly flown by me. Next thing I'll know I will be going back to school, even though the summer feels as though it started yesterday!
After my many sewing mishapps the other day, I actully found myself looking for other sewing projects.. A few years ago when I was in Zambia I bought some material and came across it again yesterday. I thought that it would make a cute bag, but I needed a lining for it. Yesterday I knew that I needed to grab some stuff at Target for camp next week, so I decided that it would be a good time to stop and look for some cotton, muslin and other things at the fabric store.
One-hundred and ten dollars later I came out of there with a good lesson learned about watching what you spend at the fabric store and the amazing value of a thing called a coupon! But I have a TON of fabric, two patterns, a how to book about knitting complete with knitting needles, yearn, six spools of string, two types of ribbons for draw strings, stitch witch and I think that is all. At least all that I can remember! Now I have more projects then I know what to do with.
Tonight is the Rubies of Acknowledgement Bible study. There has been a very limited number of people coming. But I'm so thankful that the hosting family is still willing to keep their house open to me even though lately no one has come.
Monday at ten a.m, my happy little butt has to be about four and a half hours north of here for the start of camp. This year will be like no other year of Arizona camp. I'm no longer a teen camper, and I'm not a counselor (I wanted to be but they had all the positions filled). So that means that I am in the women's cabin, and an adult camper. I'm really happy and excited though because one young lady from a family of girls at my church, is eight-teen and going to be in the cabin with me. At first it was iffy if she was even going to come. And I was praying about it, and found out that even before I started praying she had decided to come.. I keep praying that God will open my eye's to what He wants me to do or learn at this camp.
This morning I was just looking at Bible Gateway and typed in "provide" to the search engine. And then proceeded to look though the five pages of passages talking about God providing. At the very end of the five pages where the passages that struck me the most interesting.
Hebrews 1:3 (NIV) The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
This would be the verse that makes my life worth living..
1 Peter 4:11 (NIV) If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
And this one is the way I want to live it..
