Down in the dumps

Well, I haven't blogged in a while because I've been a bit down. Logically, I should have come here and been positive, but I was making huge efforts in "real life" to be positive, so I didn't even feel like I had the energy.

My job is up in the air again. There's no guarantee for employment next year, especially in my current position. I'm really bummed about it. Things will work out and I'll find another job if I need to, but it's not fun. Everyone around me has been so wonderful though. With so many of my coworkers that I've never even had spiritual conversations before, I've had conversations that have all ended in the other person telling me that they'll pray for me. It's awesome to see God show up like that in conversations.

So we'll see. I'm trying to stay hopeful and positive, but I have my days. Like Tuesday when I just went for it and had ice cream for dinner. And Wednesday when I almost cried at our staff meeting because everyone kept talking about how wonderful our staff is and how we're like a family. I don't want to leave my family!

So here's my new verse. I'm a little behind since I've been down in the dumps, but we got a perfect verse this morning at church. I'm so thankful for our preacher, Reg. He is such a good speaker, but he also is friends with us and cares about us. So precious.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me." John 14:1, NIV

I'm sorry to hear about your job being undecided, again. I know that it must be a stressful time for both you and Jason. I'll be praying for provision and leading, and most of peace. Love you, friend.

God has something absolutely amazing in store for you! I can hardly wait to see what it is... I'm praying! And I love you more than I can say, so that's all I'll say.

Can we please talk about how tiny this girl's waist is? You may know that I'm a big fan of the show Mad Men. You may also know that I'm a somewhat curvy girl myself, though nothing like Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan (Holloway) Harris on Mad Men. I mean really. Look at those gorgeous curves and that impossibly tiny waist! If I could pick any perfect body (to me), this would be it. She is all woman. And she looks so healthy! And by healthy, I mean that she looks like she actually eats. Ah. I aspire to have curves like that. Womanly and soft, but still healthy and toned. Gorgeous!

First Finished Quilt!

Image
I am so proud. After over a month of working on it (off and on), I finally finished my first quilt! For some reason I was having anxiety about quilting and especially binding it, but it ended up being totally fine. I don't know why I was so worried. It turned out great! Mission accomplished... he likes it!

A Tank Top & Two Yards of Fabric

Image
I've been falling a bit behind on my goal of making something new once a month this year. Jason is in Texas this week to attend Summit at ACU, so as soon as he left, I got busy sewing! I pinned this tutorial a reeeeally long time ago (26 weeks ago to be exact, thank you Pinterest for knowing that) and I finally decided to try it. I picked out the fabric for the skirt a long time ago too... June, I think? Whenever I took that quilting class, I picked it up. And I've had this tank top for YEARS (probably since high school) and it's always been too short. Perfect project for it! This tutorial would have been really easy if I had a sewing machine that worked well with elastic thread. Alas, I have a Brother, which has a drop-in bobbin, which makes it a nightmare to work with elastic thread. Awesome. I decided to attempt it anyway, and gave up on my Brother after about 30 minutes of frustration. Luckily! I still have the Kenmore that my cousin gave me. It has some bobbin i...
