Woodworking for women

I just got my approval today to be part  of a beginning woodworking class for women!  It will meet over Mondays and Wednesdays for two and a half weeks in the evening, and will teach me how to use hand tools and power tools to create a craftsman style mirror!  I will learn to creatively use reclaimed lumber to make things!  I am so excited!  I have done this my whole life, but not very well.  Now I am going to learn the skills to really do a good job (I hope!)
I helped build our house last year and really loved it, I love knowing just what the house we live in looks like from the inside out.  I love knowing where the studs are in the wall, what is behind the walls, under the floors and foundation,  I just really enjoyed it a lot, and now I am going to go to another level and learn even more!  I am excited.

What Do I Do With My Word?

I am putting this post on my blog as a reminder of what I need to do this year with my word. Great post!

What Do I Do With My Word?

Trust~Already learning!

I have the word trust for my word for the year, and already, I am blown away.  I wrote a post here before Christmas, about how behind we are on everything, it being Christmas, my husband and I not working the week after Christmas, basically whining to God about how I should trust but we have so much going against us (by the way I am embarrassed by the post, just so you know) I did just try and let it all go and just enjoy the season, I even forgot I had posted this on here.  Now here is where it gets good - I did let it go and didn't worry about what we were doing.  My grown kids decided this year to take turns making the meals for the holidays, everyone was home and that was a huge help, some of my kids (grown kids) said they already bought all the stocking stuffer stuff so not to get any thing (another huge thing, there are 23 stockings)  I made gifts for everyone, nothing big, but I really love making things instead of buying gifts.  We are almost through the holidays, and it has been one of the best ever for me, kids helped in many ways, I was relaxed, not shopping at the last minute, we paid bills that were outstanding, because we hadn't spent everything on Christmas.  I know this sounds like just things I should have done anyway, but it isn't how I normally do things, God directed me, and now I am getting a lesson in trusting God!  I love it!  This is going to be good!
