God's Love

                          


God's Love

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16

"We love him, because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19

      I apologize for the delay in blog posts, again. I've had so much going on and just couldn't figure out what to write. But recently I have felt God leading me to get back to it.  

       Last week, while out walking, I saw this heart shape (in picture above) in our driveway.  As I was walking,  I was praying for God's guidance in organizing my craft supplies.  For the non-crafters...it's a very big job! Especially for me! Some of you may think it's crazy to pray for something like that. I don't think so!! When I saw the heart, I thought I imagined it at first,  but after taking a couple steps,  I turned around and looked at it again. I believe that Jesus was showing me that HE loved me and cared about my organizing venture. I believed Him before I saw it but it sure made me feel great. God never stops loving me or you. God may not answer our prayers as soon as we pray them, but He does answer. It may not be what we want, but God knows what's best for us. Afterall, He made us!!! BTW,the heart was still there the next day. I looked yesterday but couldn't see it, but thankfully God's love doesn't go away!!

     I have continued to work in our kitchen as I wait on the Lord since that's where I share my craft space.  I don't have a lot of space though. My biggest issue so far has been a safe storage container for my new craft tool. I've looked in stores and online but no answers but still praying. Then day before yesterday,  I was sitting on my couch and it was like a "light bulb moment " happening. God placed the idea of the storage container (plastic drawers) in my bedroom being my answer!! A close friend gave it to me a year or so ago. I've been putting my cardstock in the deep drawer (now to find storage solution for cardstock). I put my tool in and it's a perfect fit!! Not that I doubted it. Just as I believe that God will continue to help me organize my craft supplies as well as my house. Yup, it's SPRINGCLEANING time again!!! Don't you just love this time of year? 

     I still read organization articles and watch videos for ideas but I depend on my Lord for His ultimate guidance.  I'm not doing as much as I'd planned to today due to having some sciatica issues. I'm working, but doing it slowly. The last time it reared its ugly head, I could barely walk. Ended up at doctor's office.  So, I'm taking Aleve and trying to do work sitting down today. God's ways are always the best ways!! The job is lasting longer than I wanted but I'm actually enjoying it. 

     I'll close for now, and work some more. I'll try to post more now. Ya'll  have a great day!!
