at long last

Thanks for the nagging, I mean, support. :)

So much has happened in the last few months, so much of it quite depressing and sad, that I haven't felt much like blogging, mainly for the inability to speak what was on my mind.

So sewing is still going on, ever so slowly. With all the chaos, and usual life, there have been many interruptions in progress. I am happy to say that MOST of the boy shirts are fully complete, but unhappy to say, that there are yet some unfinished, which I should be working on presently, but am blogging instead.

I just finished a very wonderful book. Its so common a title, that no doubt you've heard of it, but perhaps not yet read it, or at least not read the unabridged version. Robinson Caruso . You might say, "ya, I know its about a man being shipwrecked on a deserted island". But its so much more! Its really about his salvation, how Robin comes to saving faith in Christ alone, EXPLICITLY. It was so encouraging to read (well, in my case, hear, gotta love books on CD) about the various trials that he went through, and how he came to recognize that God in His wise and holy providence was working the trials amazingly for his own good. Robin came to bless God for it all, and to find contentment in his lot. GREAT BOOK, great reading for kids and adults alike.

Ok, and hmm, Shawn's on a break from school for a couple more weeks, so that's really nice, except that his boss wants him at work more, but he's not as stretched out for now, so that's good.

Shawn and I started reading through a very encouraging book together. Its been of great encouragement to me in my recent trial of faith, I cant recommend it highly enough.
