We have all of eternity to celebrate the victories won for Christ,
and only a few hours before sunset to win them.
Amy Carmichael
“As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent me.
Night is coming, when no one can work.”-John 9:4

I made it out of a pair of jeans! It turned out very nice, thankfully, because I wasn’t exactly sure how to do it.
It was very easy and fun!
Recently, I also purchased a new skirt pattern, as well as a blouse pattern. I have [...]

I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
-Psalm 52:8
God notices the most trivial act,

listens to the coldest, feeblest petition,
and gathers up with parental fondness all our fragmentary desires and attempts at good works.
Oh, if we could only begin to conceive how He loves us,
what different creatures [...]

-Ruth Bell Graham

“He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, IN WHOM I TRUST.”

“What does a cow do?”
“What does a horse do?”
You know…..the ever popular toddler’s game, where the child attempts to make a sound remotely reminiscient of the aforementioned animal? Of course you do!
This afternoon, my mom started spontaneously throwing animal crackers at me from the doorway of my room, where I was working on schoolwork. She [...]

“Let us draw near to God
with a sincere heart…”
Hebrews 10:22
There is a rest of spirit,a quiet confidence,a joyfulness,and a perfection of love and peacein the heart of the one who is thus given over to God,that cannot be described in words.
Nor is this experience for only a favored few.
Everyone who will seek [...]

There was planted in man’s heart from the beginning a desire to know and understand higher things, and to commune with his Maker. The complete satisfying of this God-given nature cannot be had except by knowing God.
A person may become very wise,
and fill his mind with many things,
and put all his time in [...]

Jesus, You be lifted high in my life, And I fall to my knees, So it's You that they see,
Not I.
Jesus, You be lifted high!
