No news to speak of

Not a whole lot going on around here. We're having a nice, leisurely Saturday. It's a bit breezy outside with a chance of some snow. I wouldn't mind me some snow! We'll see if that actually happens.

I'm dying to do something crafty today. Maybe get out my knitting needles again and see what can be done. I'm not sure.

I'm not very good at crafty things. Not patient enough. I want to get it right the first time and I'm terrible at reading directions. That's a recipe for disaster every single time. I don't deal well with failure.

I have a lovely sewing machine but I'm afraid to use it. I guess I'd have much more fun if I'd just get over my issues and try some things.

But what if I ruin the beautiful fabric I've stowed away in my drawer?

I'm glancing outside our big picture window right now. Gosh it's pretty here. Our home is nice and cozy...smells like the great new candle I got last night. Everything is picked up (a rare but wonderful occurrence indeed). On days like these I wonder why we're so crazy as to leave it all behind...again.

Then I remember - the rewards of a life sold-out to Christ and to being in His perfect will are far greater and eternal than the mere comfort of a quiet home with a great view.

But for now, I'm going to enjoy this little red house.
