What happened to "frequent"?

It’s been a long time since I added anything here. I blame the fact that I received an awesome surprise gift from my mom and sister. This little beauty below:

Therefore, as predicted almost a month ago, I did in fact think of at least 20 other things to make for Christmas gifts, making that a focus for me. I will add some pictures of the gifts so far tomorrow (hopefully).

There is something very rewarding in knowing that something now exists because I created it. And I’m talking about things like stuffed toys. I cannot even begin to fathom what the Lord felt when He created everything- or when He created us. I’m really feeling like the Proverbs 31 woman when I sew or bake to provide something for my family, which is something I strive to be. {Prov. 31: 10- 31} 

Christmas time is here...well not yet

I am so looking forward to Christmas! I have almost too many ideas and plans for Christmas gifts and am not sure they will all be completed. A sewing machine would certainly help to lighten the load...although once I get one I know that I will think of about 20 other gifts I want to make. Almost 3 months away, but it's great to already be dwelling on Christmas and certainly makes me think more about the ultimate gift of Jesus.

a crucial question

The sermon today at church really made me think. There are so, so many people who don’t even seem bothered with whether or not there is a God. They don’t care either way and it’s not something they even dwell on. What could be more important of a question? If there is no God then I guess nothing matters much in the grand scheme of things. BUT, if there is a God, then what else could matter more?! It is something people really need to take the time to think about. Don’t be too lazy or scared to consider something so monumental.

On a side note, I already failed on my "daily" entry idea. So I'll be substituting "frequent" for "daily".

the beginning

What is the point of blogging? Do I really think this will become a highly followed website? In a word: no. (I realize there’s a good chance that only my sister may actually take the time to read this.) However, I've found that I seem to be drawn to the idea of journaling (which I never do; if I start one it lasts about 2 days). This is evident by the stack of small, blank notebooks I already have and can’t seem to stop adding to. So where does this leave me? Here. Where a digital journal may be a solution. Why not just a word document on my computer that I keep to myself? The idea that someone may actually be reading this makes me feel like I need to keep it updated. Accountability. I’ll soon know whether or not it helped. My plan is to document my life in some form each day. This may range from random thoughts, pictures of daily activities, comments on things I’ve created. Time will tell. If you want to follow along with me I think you’ll get to know me better than you do already.
