I wonder if I can do a whole post by only stating the obvious. Of course, the obvious is all in the eye of the beholder. Maybe I can start each paragraph with a statement of the obvious. It's been snowing in Spokane. I estimate that there is at least 12in of snow in the backyard. Our birdbath looks like a cake plate with a very tall, white cake on it. I got stuck in my own driveway twice yesterday. The first time at 6:40am, after 30 min of digging and wheel spinning our neighbor cam over and pushed me out. The second time I had to wait until my roommate came home to help me. I like snow. Within reason. I like cake pretty much anytime. *****Warning- if you don't like the "girly" knitting talk skip the next paragraph. (Dave, that means you.)****** I've been knitting. I finished Jordana's baby blanket, and a scarfy thing for me, and I have a long mental list of what I'm going to do in the next few months. Next is another gift, but it's for someone who reads the blog (shhh, it's Katie Heidenreich) so I can't talk about it. Before I start the "next" thing I have something on the needles that I'll probably finish in the next few days. It's a dressy little scarf made using some leftover yarn and beads. I've never done any beaded knitting before, it's kind fun, but considerably slows the pace of the knitting. For New Years Melissa and Isaiah gave me a "gift certificate" for yarn (very cute, Melissa made it) and I have had so much fun thinking about what I want to use it for. Should I get more of the very fancy silk/mohair that I liked so much? Should I buy the yarn I'd need to start knitting lace? Both great ideas and very tempting but I think I may have decided to knit my very first sweater! But I may enjoy going back and forth on that for a few more days until I "decide". *****End of knitting talk******* I'm moving. Maybe. Or at least both of my roommates are moving. One is getting married and the other is moving home to California. Uncertainty is not really my thing. I don't know where I am going to move, or who I could ask to move in. If you think of it please pray for me about this that 1) I will glorify God by trusting him to provide for me. 2) That if it is God's will I will find people to move in with me. I've been going back and forth worrying and trusting God. I'm trying to keep myself from self-pity and fear by meditating on verses when I catch myself meandering that way in my head. Romans 2:6-8, Ps 23, Ps 27:13-14, etc. Those are good verses. Its a great insult to distrust God. I don't want to sin in that way. I think I'll end with a list. 1) Tonight I'm hanging out with Becky, Titus and James. 2) Sat- I am hanging out with Tanya. It's been too long. So we're going to remedy that over coffee. 3)Sun- I'm having two girls over after church for lunch and to make cookies for Jr High Group on Sunday night. Should be fun! |
