Some day the sky will grow black with clouds, the winds will roar, and a heavy rain will fall upon you.If you look within your heart, you'll find I've tucked away a few kind words and a good deed or two; a bit of love to keep you warm until the sun comes out again.

Weekly Devotions

Relationships And Responsibilities
        Do that! Go there! Be this!
    When expactations overwhelm,
stay close to the only one who matters.

    Stop judging and evaluating yourself, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself whith other people. this produces feelings of pride or inferiority; sometimes, a mixture of both. I lead
each of My children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him on her. Comparing is not only wrong: it is also meaningless.
    Don't look for affirmationin the wrong places: your own evaluations, or those of other people. the only source of real affirmation is My unconditional Love. Many believers percieve Me as an unpleasable Judge, angrily searching out there faults and failures. Nothing could be farther from the truth! I died for your sins, so that I might cloth you in My garments of salvation. This is how I see you: radiant in My robe of righteousness. When I discipline you, It is never in anger or disgust;it is to prepare you for face-to-Face fellowship with Me throughout all eternity. Immerse yourself in My loving Presence. Be receptive to My affirmation, which flows continually from the throne of grace.

FC (Fun Crafts)

I got the pics and directions from http://thisismeinspired.blogspot.com/2011/02/frayed-flower-and-headband-how-to.html

 

Let's start with the flower! You'll need a piece of fabric, hot glue, and a small piece of felt. Cut the fabric approximately 2 1/2 inches wide and as long as you wish. For this flower, I cut the length from selvage edge to selvage edge on my fabric (so, approx. 45 inches long).

1. Cut your strip and fold in half lengthwise; press in place if you wish.

2. Sew a gathering stich down the length of the fabric close to the FOLDED edge. Alternately, if you do not want the frayed effect, you can stitch along the open edge, however, you will get a very different look to your finished flower.

3. Pull your bobbin threads to gather the entire length of fabric (gather fairly tight).

4. Next, press your ruffled strip. This will make it easier to work with and define your ruffles.

5. Starting at one end, just start rolling your strip on top of itself. Add dabs of hot glue as you roll to hold the spiral in place. go easy on the glue. You want enough glue to hold the flower, but you still want to be able to shape the flower when you're done.

6. This is what the back of the flower looks like as you're rolling it.

Okay, so your flower is all rolled up. Gorgeous! Now cut a circle of felt to fit on the back.

Glue it down! Start by gluing down the middle. Then work your way around the felt, gluing that bottom ruffle of the flower down all the way around.

You could use this flower in a lot of different ways.Like a headband.

Basically, you will wrap up your headband by winding and gluing your strip of fabric. First, glue a small piece of fabric to cap off each end of the headband.

Then, glue the end of the fabric strip onto the inside of the headband, as close to the bottom as possible so that when you begin wrapping, you'll cover the small fabric "cap." Start wrapping the strip around and around the headband, pulling it tight and gluing along the way. I didn't glue every wrap, just every few.

That's it! Now take your pretty flower and hot glue it right onto your headband where you'd like it.

You can add another piece of felt from the back so that the headband is sandwiched between the back of the flower and the second piece of felt. I didn't do that here, but that's just 'cause I was too anxious to get on to the next project. So many accessories, so little time!!

I hope you have fun!

about-Weekly Devotions

I have a devotional Bible and in my Bible there are little sections. There is a theme word like relationships and responsibilities.... and then they tell you about the word. It isn't the same as Word Of The Week because there are 2 words which I will be talking about more then one time. I will try to post one every week. Hope you like it.
