Even though I've got to be in one place for a while, I so remember the downs and searching for the "ups" in going through a move. I'm still praying for you and know that you'll find you joy again if you keep looking for it.<br />Mama BonnieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684191224499440225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-25657532547216427492012-11-24T05:22:07.712-06:002012-11-24T05:22:07.712-06:00Amanda, as many have already said, your sentiments...Amanda, as many have already said, your sentiments struck a chord with me too. Our attitude about our situations is what will make the difference. Today I am carving out some me time to sew and will use this pillow as my inspiration. <br />Thanks for sharing this timely reminder and all will be well. <br />As for your "getting ready to sell" projects, bravo that you can do so many things well yourselves! My key to functioning the next day is to take the naproxen before I even begin the project!

Instead of free time to quilt now that my children are older, I have been forced to return full time to the work force, sometimes working a 60 hour work week. But I start every day with Bible study and the comfort of knowing that I am right where the Lord wants me to be. I miss my quilting time so much, but always trust that God works everything for good to those who love Him. Hang in there, Amanda Jean. He will take care of you!
