Becca's Daily Prayer

Thank you, God, for my gorgeous day.  And I love my Mommy and my Daddy and my sisters, and my Mommy.  And I love my (enter toy name here) and I love Annie and my Mommy, and all the toys.  The end.  Da da  (Which is some sort of ending musical noise.  Something that Samantha started.)

Mystery Afghan #4

I enjoyed this weeks a little more.  It was nice working with the different colors.  There's still one color that I haven't used yet, and it's one of the main colors, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with it.
Again, there was nothing new for me to learn this week.  Which is fine, but I hope that in the later weeks I will learn something new!

Mystery Afghan #3

 
Here's square number 3!  I was finished on Thursday, but I was just so busy I didn't have time to take a picture and post it until tonight.  And the next one will be posted on the site in 2 more hours, so hopefully I'll have time to get this posted a little earlier.  Again, no problems with this square.  I had to make 8 of there, where the others were just 2.  So I'm interested to see how many this weeks will be.

Edit: I found out last week that I did this in the wrong color.  So here's the right color

Sorry its sidewise, but I turned it in iphoto and it just didn't want to stay turned when I downloaded it.

Mystery Afghan #2

I don't have too much to say about this square.  It was worked in the round.  I've just recently crocheted an afghan in the round so it was no problem for me.  I'm looking forward to getting to the harder, more challenging squares.

Mystery Afghan

I'm doing the Bernat Mystery Afghan Crochet Along!  You can find it here, on the Bernat website.  It just started yesterday.  You can read on their site how it works.. but I'm going to try and be faithful about posting my square each week when I'm done.  So here's week one.

Catching Up

I know I haven't been blogging much, and I'm not sure if I'm going to try more, or not, but I have a few things I feel like saying. Just for the record.

Trevor just got back yesterday from his third trip to India this year. He's been gone for almost 2 full months. It's been hard, but super nice because my parents have been able to come each time to help me. There may be more travel in the near future, but we're just praying for God's will.

It's so nice to have him home. I love this time when he's just gotten home and is so happy to be here. His job is so stressful that this time doesn't seem to last too long until he's back in the thick of it and trying not to bring his work "home". Which is really hard for him, because he works from home.

Brooklyn has started Grade 2 and Samantha has started K. They're both doing really well, though I'm having a hard time doing school every day when we've had so many distractions. At the least, we've been trying to do math and reading every day.

We also started AWANA and Transform last week. The girls really love AWANA and this is Becca's first year. She was a little nervous to go in, but did really well! I'm doing a study on Romans, and I think Trevor will be joining me. I think it's going to be really good! I really enjoyed the first week. There is someone in our group that is on my worship team and I'm looking forward to getting to know her better. Last week I was stressed and so tired because I was trying to get my room painted and organized before Trevor came home and this lady, Heather, sent me a message and told me to call her the next day so she could come help me organize my bedroom! I just couldn't believe that someone would be so thoughtful. I was so touched. I declined because I did get most of it done, and my parents did some work in there while I was relaxing at Transform. But all the things my parents did to help me is another post...

I think God had me in his thoughts as he inspired Max Lucado to write this paragraph in Fearless...

"Seek first the kingdom of wealth, and you'll worry over every dollar. Seek first the kingdom of health, and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. Seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first his kingdom, and you will find it. On that, we can depend and never worry."

He also had the words to this hymn.

"Not so in haste, my heart!

Have faith in God, and wait;

Although He linger long,

He never comes too late.

He never comes too late;

He knoweth what is best;

Vex not thyself in vain;

Until He cometh, rest.

Until He cometh, rest.

Nor grudge the hours that roll;

The feet that wait for God

Are soonest at the goal.

Are soonest at the goal

That is not gained with speed;

Then hold thee still, my heart,

For I shall wait His lead."
