Simply Sharing and Sewing

 

Greetings again sisters! 

I'm back again with some more simple encouragement and edification from the Word. And also sharing a few things from my days recently. 

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" 

Romans 11:33

"For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word." 

Isaiah 66:2

(A sister and I were sharing.) 

That's so true. You can see that from what people around you spend their time, thoughts, energy and money on. And it's most likely on things that are not good and are time wasting worldly activities. And sadly many who claim the name of Christ have their lives wrapped up in so many idle things. And in all that God grows so small to them and so they don't have the right view of God for one thing. God is so big and infinite and holy and for us we want to focus on Him and things above. 

"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." 

Colossians 3:2-3

And I'll share a few pictures and things from my days. They can say more than words many times. And as women we have many simple duties of life in order for us to live down here...like as it says being content with food and raiment. So many people these days are looking for more and more stuff and for a great life down here. But our hope is to come for all eternity with the Lord!

Simple potato soup... 

Praise God for giving us our daily bread. 

This is a video of the lambs playing outside my room window the other day... 

So funny and cute! 

I've been doing a lot of sewing problem solving of late. Because I am getting into sewing with a different fabric, I need to learn how to sew with it without issues arising. There are many things that affect the final result so they all have to be just right. 

This little tool helps... 

It helps feed the fabric through from the top as well... 

(I like watching it do that:-) 

And using a twin needle helps too... 

Which sews the double rows of stitching at once... 

For on the hem of a knit fabric skirt... 

That is supposed to help the hem seam to have a little bit more stretch instead of just breaking (if trodden on for example as we all do with our long skirts at times) as the fabric itself is very stretchy. Store bought knit skirt hems etc are sewn with a special expensive machine but I am doing what I can with a sewing machine (and a serger). So that should work fine. 

I had a bit of lint to clean off the machine too... 

The knife on the serger creates a lot.

So anyway, I got 3 new skirts up on my shop today so that's satisfying...especially after many trials.

But that's absolutely nothing compared to the reward we will get with the Father and eternal life if we endure and overcome!

"He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." 

Revelation 3:5

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." 

Matthew 24:13

Let us press on to that sisters! 

(Thank you for those sister saint:-) 

So that is a few things from me. May it bless you godly Titus 2 sisters! I hope your duties are going well too in whatever they are. 

Strive on in the truth! 

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." 

John 17:17

"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

Colossians 3:12-15

Love in Christ,
