Sew Much To Do

by gidget sewing & crafts

One of the reasons I needed a break from blogging was to finish up a few sewing projects. I still have a big one to be finished (a quilt I’m making as a gift) but I was able to finish a couple of things, including this shirt (similar to one I made myself a few [...]

The pastor that spoke this week, David Martinelli, is one of our lay pastors who also works for Campus Crusade for Christ. The Lord spoke through him in mighty ways [...]

Thank the Lord, that He fulfills His purpose for me. What a relief that I don’t have to do it in my own strength. {Photo taken at the San Diego Zoo on a field trip of sorts with lots of dear mommy friends and an abundance of children.}

A Silly Poem From Memory

by gidget reading

I memorized this silly, nonsensical poem in 2nd grade for a talent show. It comes from an old children’s book that was my mom’s, called A Rocket in My Pocket. For some odd reason, I still can remember most of it, and it still makes me giggle a little. Smart Alec Oration Ladies and Jelly [...]

I feel super refreshed after taking the last couple of weeks off from blogging. I may not feel so refreshed once I dive back into my reader and try to catch up on everything, but I have definitely needed the time to prioritize other things and for one thing, get settled in to our new [...]

Time For a Fall Blog Fast

by gidget life is beautiful

Most of my good ideas come to me when I’m in the shower. Not very convenient. It’s like a black hole for me- I leave the room and enter back into life and forget everything that I was contemplating while bathing. As usual I have a million ideas, projects, hopes, desires, commitments, etc. floating around [...]
