Homemade Christmas Gifts...

Here are some of the other homemade gifts I made this past season...

 A small bag for word search books and a pen...

The inside of one of the wallets I made, and a phone pod...

A plastic grocery store bag holder...

My first attempt at a crochet hat...

It's newborn size :)

A crochet infinity scarf...

A wallet...

So, those were some of December's projects :)

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Genesis 6:22

God gave Noah a large job to do, and without excuse or complaint Noah did it immediately. Are we able to do just as God commands us? 

Corresponding with this was what I read this morning about when Abraham was willingly following all God told him to do, including being ready to sacrifice his son... Are we willing to give up the things God asks us to? And taking the actions necessary to give them up?

Thoughts to ponder from my morning readings :)

GPS Storage Bag...

We don't travel much and when we do, it's usually only a couple of hours away or less to other churches for special meetings...so, we don't own a GPS of our own, we use my in-laws :)

We pass it off back and forth as needed. It had been in a ziploc bag to keep it with it's cord...which was functional, but I always thought that I should really make it a nice little bag. Well, after a few years, I FINALLY made it a cute new home!

I used a layer of batting in it to make it sturdy and protective.

Added snaps to both sides to keep it closed.

And some nice straps so it is easy to throw over our wrist to carry out to the car...because, like most, we are usually carrying out a bunch of stuff to the car when we are getting ready to leave!

It was a quick project...that I should have done a while ago :) but I'm glad the GPS now has it's new home!

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

This was in my reading lately and is something that we needed to continue to remember when we look around and things seem so out of control. "Let go and let God" is also a great phrase on how we need to turn things over to God and let Him do His working in our lives.
