OK God, What are you trying to tell me?

Back to square one with this asthma thing and now my ankles are swollen again to the point that I can't get shoes on. At least today I was able to get the compression stockings on. Yesterday I kept falling asleep either at the computer or sewing machine so finally gave up and took a nap. When I woke up I thought I'd slept all afternoon....only one hour! Oh Lord, please let me sleep on that train for the 3 days, 2 nights. My body cannot handle much more. I know Your plan is much better than mine, but please give me a clue. I'm running out of energy, oxygen, breath.....

I love you, Lord Jesus. My favorite Psalm is 116....verses1-2: "I love the Lord for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live." He hears my cries for mercy frequently and I have to trust that God will hear my cry again. But I have to remember that he will answer my cry in His time, not mine.

Thank you God for reminding me that I need to talk things over with you and get everything into perspective. I feel better now and know that healing will come in Your time, not mine. You know what plans you have for me and I need to put complete trust in You. Praising You this afternoon and praying in your name, Amen.

WOW! That feels so much better!! I think now I can either go finish sewing the binding to Uncle Skip's quilt or get the table runner going that I'm making for one of my best friends (3rd time is a charm!). Then I think I'm done with presents for the Christmas party this Saturday. I can then move onto other projects that aren't so urgent. I still have to alter my gown for the Renaissance Faire, but it turns out the alterations won't be as extensive as I first thought. Yipee!!!!!

17 days and counting till I leave for Arizona! Once I get into some dry weather I know I will begin to feel better. Last evening I received a call from a friend who moved from the Chicago area to Shreveport, LA. She retired! No wonder I hadn't heard from her for a while. On my way home from AZ in the spring I just may stop off and spend a few days visiting with Barbara and her new hubby. Barbara has inherited some sisters and they are all quilters! My kind of stopover!!

Have a blessed day!

QCA Get Together This Winter in Phoenix/Scottsdale Area

Ok now. I've been meeting a lot of you gals who are either living or wintering in the Phoenix and/or Scottsdale area and I'm loosing track of all of you. Sooooo, how about all of us getting together say in February and having a lunch? This way we can all meet face to face and spend some quality time together. I could probably rent the party room at the pool house where I'm staying and we could do pot luck. It would keep the costs down...in other words no expensive restaurants. That way we could spend a whole afternoon together. You could bring show and tell and we could see the real thing. Anyone interested?? Please send me your contact information and I will contact you after the holidays and we will do this. I think this could be a lot of fun to actually meet all of you.

PS. I will invite some of the gals from Reap What You Sew and introduce you to one of the most exciting quilt guilds I have ever met!! I understand they are distributing almost 2400 quilts next week to various charities!

One of God's greatest treasures are the friends He gives us! Quilters are the best friends!!
