If the shoe fits, wear it!

Well it is Wednesday and the week is halfway gone. Where does the time go.

Levi is doing well. He is his same sweet little self. We started him on Pedia-sure this week instead of formula. The doctor said it might upset his stomach, but thankfully it did not. It has a few more calories than his formula does, so maybe he will get a little growth spurt.

I am almost done with Levi's Halloween costume. My only problem is that every time I unsnap the snaps they come off (the fleece is too thick). So I am just not going to snap them again until we put the outfit on him on Halloween. Then I won't care if the snaps pop off at the end of the evening when we take it off him. My first sewing project in 15 years. I am not super good at sewing, but I am enjoying it. I have a few more projects planned. I will post picks of the costume this weekend, so make sure to check back.

I have been up to more than just sewing. I made this memo board last weekend for my friend Emily for a baby gift. It was one of the projects for the Got Sketch 101 class I took this summer. It was a lot of fun.

I found a new website that I am in love with. It is a baking site called Fancy Flours. Talk about fun baking goodies. Their blog has some super fun ideas as well. Makes me want to go bake. I want to go take a cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby now.

I have also to add another hobby to my list: jewelry making and beading. I got a bunch of stuff at Hobby Lobby the other day to make some Christmas presents with. I haven't actually made anything yet, but you will see pics as soon as I do.

We are getting ready to start a new Ladies Bible Study at church. It is called Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed. It is going to be a great study on the life of David. It is taught by Priscilla Shrirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur. It came out a conference they did called Deeper Still. I have only done a couple of the lessons so far, but WOW! Here is one verse that really stuck out to me from the first lesson.

You did not choose me, but I chose you. John 15:16 HCSB

Priscilla Shrirer goes on to say that our confidence doesn't rest in our faithfulness but in God's. Well thank goodness, cause you know God is more faithful than I am. Seriously though think about how that thought process could change our confidence level. It isn't about us and how inadequate we are, but how faithful God is. I don't know about you, but I have to constantly be reminded that life is not about me. :) Later in the second lesson she talks about being aware of God around us and how that might change our daily activities and decisions. Well, that made me stop and think. I have to admit, I am not constantly thinking about God's presence. If I was there are definitely things I do or say that I would think twice about. So that is my prayer for today. That I am constantly aware of God's presence and let that guide my decisions and activities.

Well, I will leave you with that thought. I really need to hit the sack. I need to get up in the morning and make some yummy goodies to eat at Bible Study.
