Psalm 89: 1- 18

"I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. For I said, "Stead fast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness." You have said , " I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: 'I will establish you offspring forever, and build a throne  for all generations." Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord, a God to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? O Lord God of hosts who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon, joyously praise you name. You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted . For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy one of Israel."

When I was reading this, this morning in the warmth of the sun light on my face, I was humbled by the words of the Psalm. It is astonishing to stop for just a moment and look at our world and all of Gods creation. We see the Mountains high and the sea below, the sky and the land. We can only be amazed at His handy work. But at the same time be humbled at the fact that God creator of all, knows me, one person out of all history, and knew me before I was ever formed in the womb. What am I to do, but to only "sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations." I pray that I will "walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day"

Esty Store

Well if you have seen on my other blog, A Couple of Crafty Gals. I have started an esty store!! I have been wanting to start on for quite some time, but  I just never did it.  Until now!! What I have in my store at the moment are some Binky holders I have knitted. I started these last fall, to sell at the Christmas Bazaars, but I never finished them in time. So after a while of the unfinished project sitting in my craft bin, I finally decided to put them in my store. Here are some of the projects in my store.

As you can see I have made the two Binky holders, the elephant and the flower in different colors. And this is hat I plan to do for a while, make them in a variety of colors!! Check out what I have in store on the right side of my blog!!

Well that is all that I have been up to besides working. But it seems summer is coming soon!! With my schedule getting busier, and more Church gatherings being planned :)

My Piano Adventure Begins

I have always admired the beautiful sounds that people I know play on the complex (at lest to me) piano. I have always dreamed of owning a piano as well as playing it.

 Well today while I was out and about, I stopped by Music World and finally did it.... I bought these two piano books to learn how to play. I already own a key board so I am set on learning. With Gods help to keep me diligent in my learning, some day I will be able to read and play music :)

                                                      

 I am very excited to start!! Also to get on to fun music... Like Fiddler on the Roof or Sound of Music :) But that comes with learning!!



Good Friday

As I was thinking upon the life of Christ today and the Amazing love and grace that He gives us each day. I was reminded of this wonderful song "The Power of the Cross" By: Keith and Kristyn Getty. I love how it shows the wonderful work of Christ here on earth, fulfilling the will of Father, and bringing man closer to Him. How through the death we are forgiven and have eternal life with God our Heavenly Father. What an amazing work Christ did for me to be in His Kingdom forever.

Oh, to see the dawn

Of the darkest day:

Christ on the road to Calvary.

Tried by sinful men,

Torn and beaten, then

Nailed to a cross of wood.

CHORUS:

This, the pow'r of the cross:

Christ became sin for us;

Took the blame, bore the wrath—

We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain

Written on Your face,

Bearing the awesome weight of sin.

Ev'ry bitter thought,

Ev'ry evil deed

Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees;

Now the ground beneath

Quakes as its Maker bows His head.

Curtain torn in two,

Dead are raised to life;

"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.

Oh, to see my name

Written in the wounds,

For through Your suffering I am free.

Death is crushed to death;

Life is mine to live,

Won through Your selfless love.

FINAL CHORUS:

This, the pow'r of the cross:

Son of God—slain for us.

What a love! What a cost!

We stand forgiven at the cross.

 

I hope you enjoy your Easter weekend as we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. 

P.S. They have this song for free download on there website http://www.gettymusic.com/stpats.aspx It is a good one to add to the library :)

Spring!!

In the Northwest we do not always have a nice sunny spring like some other places in the US. But you can tell when it is spring here because of the flowers that bloom. So when it is dark and dreary from all the rain, you can look to the flowers that you pass for some cheer. Well I have been thinking allot about how seasons changing. Not just in weather and plants but also in our lives. This verse has been on my mind Eccl. " For everythig there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: " God has planned different seasons in our lives, times of joy, times of sadness and times of growth, but all are under His Will. So what ever the season in life, we can be comforted and thankful that God is in control of it all. I have been taking pictures of different flowers and growth around where I live. Here are a few that I have so far.

I love the Cherry Blossoms!!

Green leaves White Cherry Blossoms are also beautiful!

Of course Daffodils, bright and cheery!

Or the Pink Azalea!

Well I hope that the season of spring is one of sunshine and fun!! Enjoy the sweet smelling flowers around your home!!

A Quote From Chesterton

"It [feminism] is a mix up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but a slaves when they help their husbands"
