Have a blessed day, wonderful people :)

worketh willingly with my hands...

Last night, my best friend and I were excited to watch a movie on the internet, due to slow connection, we had no choice but to cancel our plan. It was 10 in the evening and we thought it was too early for bedtime. So she asked me,"do you know how to crochet?". Then I replied, " well, I have started and tried it before but I never remember if I have finished a piece of work out of crochet or cross-stitch except for sewing." I mean seriously, am I too impatient or perfectionist? Maybe I am. And I easily get bored to continue working especially when I make mistakes. It's hard for me to go on, and whenever I do a project I want to finish it right away.

Sometimes you do things you haven't done in a while just to get rid of boredom. And that's what I did last night, as soon as my best friend handed over the hook and the yarn for crochet. Since she knew it better than I did, she taught me how to start over and made a pattern. So I followed and tried to be patient. We've decided to make a purse. So far, it's still in progress, we hope to finish it soon so we could make another one. I'm very optimistic this time to finish it. And for my next project, I want to know  how to make this coin purse.

I hope to find metal coin purse frame to match my next crochet project. It would be great if I could find something like this. 

As for my inspiration, let me quote a familiar passage from the Scripture about a virtuous woman. 

...and worketh willingly with her hands.

Proverbs 31: 13 

...and so I'm back

Wow, it's been a year since I haven't posted anything here. A year of silence indeed. Time flies. Welcome 2013. I'll be turning 27 this year,yes, I was born in the 80's I know.Why does it seem burdensome to get older? I ask myself this question sometimes.And then come to realize how these added years would count as blessings. So instead of complaining, I learned to thank God for His unfailing grace over these years. I know someday I will be ageless, when I"ll be with Christ for eternity. And when that happens I will no longer worry about numbers.

I love this song from James C. Moore:

Never grow old, never grow old,

In a land where we’ll never grow old.
