Changing it up a little.

Over the past several weeks Chase Oaks has taken a look at the life of David. We covered various passages from 1 and 2 Samuel, and a few from the book of Psalms. One of the first things that Jeff (our senior pastor) said about David was that even though he was a man of God, his life was not perfect. He had his ups and downs, just like the rest of us. Even David, the king of Israel, had times where he was as far from God as any human can be.

It got me thinking about mistakes I made in my own life, and helped me to remember that our God is forgiving. My mistakes are my own, but it helps to know that even when I am at a low point in my life, God is there to help me back up again. I love knowing that my Father is with me through everything. His love for his children is never ceasing. He is always with you. I know I forget that some times-so it's nice to be reminded of it.


I have to take a break from the norm here, reader. If you've been with me over the last several months, you've noticed that I've been doing recaps on the sermons I've been attending. I plan on continuing this, because it helps me recall what I learned in church that week/over the course of a few weeks. But I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I pulled out my sewing machine again. I made my "twin" a present for her baby shower that's on Saturday and I'm hooked again. So keep an eye out for more pictures, less words. One of my man's friends from high school is getting married in May, and I'm going to make myself a dress. (I'm gonna make him a tie that matches!) I found a dress pattern that I like, so now I need to start hunting for material and buy the pattern (either at JoAnns or order it online). I'm going to make a grey dress with a purple skinny bow belt, and hopefully find purple shoes! I'll make my man a tie that matches my belt. :) (I already asked him about it and he agreed to wear it.)

So, be on the lookout for some more crafty updates. I have some projects that I need to start/finish for things around the apartment, so I'll post those and possibly some tutorials.
