four  more blocks to go...then sewing it up all together.

This quote was chosen as I am called to speak up the truth (especially when people do not want to hear it), and to remember that the Lord is the One who strengthens me - who strengthens us :)

June's CQJP block..posting in July :)  July's block photos are soon come!~

I have been participating in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2014 and participated in 2013 as well.  It has been a great help to me in practicing embroidery, organizing & planning, and (in my personal blocks)  meditating upon God and His Word - which inspires what I work on and what I do.  

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him..." hebrews 2:3

Speaking of time,  do not neglect so great a salvation as is offered by Almighty God in His Son Jesus Christ.  How to stand in front of God and pay for our sins - we cannot.  We cannot even pay for one....we will be paying for sin under the wrath of God for eternity!  Please while to day is today, please turn to Christ Jesus and be saved~ 

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. romans 15:13

(ps I will gladly step up and speak out, that is why He has me here.)  :D 

I like brightness

I have been crocheting granny blocks as a means of learning more crochet stitches, using yarn remaining from different projects...

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.  hebrews 1:3-4

it is all about Jesus, from beginning to end
