Catching up

It has been a while, so quick catch up.

  • I started my own quilting business, Quilt’m by Sunflower Designs, my website, my blog
  • I work at Cost-U-Less Insurance on a monthly basis. They were bought by a company in southern California and while they didn’t need our whole service center they are not to do all of our work.
  • I am working on getting over Strep Throat.
  • I have 2 cats, Grizabella Rose and Busterpher Jones
  • I am teaching the first graders at Bible Story Time at the Church of God in Carmichael

I think those are the big things…I can’t think of any others. But I can say that God is still great and has all things under control. He has promised to take care of us, and I can put my trust in that. He has yet to break a promise and has never failed to meet my needs.

Hopefully I won’t be as much a stranger as before. 🙂

Genesis 1-3

I’ve joined a challenge to read the Bible through chronologically. I have read the Bible completely in the distant past. It is time to read it again and this method is intriguing.  I’ll be posting comments on the others posts, hopefully I receive comments back.

Genesis 1-3

Genesis 1
Verse 1 … In the beginning GOD
I receive such comfort knowing God is at the beginning.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was
not any thing  made that was made.
Since God is my beginning, the foundation of my life. I am secure. No matter what happens in all the remaining 1485 pages of my Bible and in my life.
Verses 2,3,9, 11 are a picture of my life before God, without form, void, and in darkness. Then God moved and I received light and a foundation and could then bring forth good fruit.

I am thankful for beginnings in God.

A word for 2011

I’ve read other blogs that find a word to be their theme for the new year.

Combining that thought with the message Sunday Morning

What are you going to “leave behind,” so you can move closer to God?

What negative attitudes, and actions of the flesh are putting you at distance from God and spiritual liveliness?

If there is to be any spiritual success in drawing closer to God as we go into 2011, “the flesh” will have to be left behind while we  ask God to search us, examine us, to prepare our souls as we draw closer to the judgment day of God

What would you like to see change in 2011? “One” definition of “insanity” is to want something different, yet still doing the same thing over and over again. We cannot often control our surroundings or environment,  but we are given control of our desires, actions, and attitudes. If  we want to change; we must  examine ourselves to find that which is displeasing to God and  leave it off, and/or change to draw closer to Him.

If you have had hurtful circumstance(s) happen to you,..what are you going to leave behind,..so you can move forward?

What  needs to be overcome in 2011, that you did in 2010?  All souls have some regrets of humanity. If we desire to draw closer to God, and want to see more  spiritually prosperity. We all need to leave some things behind.

What are you going to leave behind in 2011?

So back to my first statement, a word for 2011 – I keep thinking about ‘health‘. I have a physical health issue I keep ignoring, like maybe it will just go away. It hasn’t. I need to face my health and accept its needs.

3John 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. John desired prosperity, physically as well as spiritually, for those to whom he was writing.

I want to prosper, too, spiritually by laying aside weights that beset me, physically, by caring for myself, and financially by being a good steward of what God has provided.

A toast for the New Year  —  HEALTH for the glory of God!
