God Moments

I love it when you are having a regular day and then God shows up and makes it special!  That just happened to me, while I was working out.  I was listening to music and "Healer" by Kari Jobi came on, and I found myself crying and worshiping God before I knew it.  It is in those moments that I see God's face and fall in love with Him all over again.  Love it!

Bowtie Baby Hat

Well, I'm about to have another niece in about a month.  So, it is baby-knitting season at my house! I love this Baby Bowtie pattern and it can be found here for free.  The only changes I have made are that instead of the first few rows in garter stitch, I changed it to stockinette stitch so that it will roll up and make a cute brim.  The wrong side of the stockinette stitch is what you see rolled up as the brim.  I also used circular needles instead of DPNs.

True Healing

Time doesn't heal all wounds,

that only comes through Jesus Christ!
