Sew Cute

So I decided last night a little after 8:00 that I wanted to start a project that has been sitting in my room for a few weeks. So Mom and I started my project. I wanted to make a skirt, but I didn't have a pattern. 



We started by setting the sewing machine up.


Then we got all our supplies out. 
You might be asking yourself what the tape measure is for. Well...


I couldn't find the sewing measuring tape, so I had to borrow one from my dad to figure out what length the cut the fabric.

And Mom showed me how to use the cool little cutty thing, which could be very dangerous.


Next, we took turns sewing the fabric pieces together.


I got to sew the elastic band together.


How many hands does it take to sew it together? Four. Well, three because one was holding the camera.

Then we realized that we put the elastic on the wrong side. So we had to re-do it.


And Mom figured out which way it was supposed to go.
And here is the finished project. 



It didn't turn out exactly how I pictured, but I think it's pretty good for the first time. And it only took a little under two hours to finish. 

In God, Emily

Living the Life

A couple months ago I was wearing a t-shirt that my mom got me at a Beth Moore conference we attended last year.  If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, her ministry is called Living Proof Ministries.  The t-shirt said, "I'm living proof." I had someone come up to me and ask what it said.  Then she asked what I was living proof of. Her question threw me off guard. What am I living proof of? I stammered out an answer.  Something along the lines of, "I'm living proof of God working in my life." That answer was not necessarily wrong. But as a mature Christian, why did I not have an answered prepared?  I knew what the shirt said.  I should have been ready to answer such a question.   As Christians, we wear certain things, such as our "Christian" t-shirts, or we act certain ways or do certain things, like praying before we eat.  We should be ready to give a reason for any of these things at any moment. The bible tells us to, " p...

Waiting- Acts 1:1-14

We wait for so many things in this life. We wait for birthdays, Christmas, driver's licenses, high school graduation, college graduation, marriage, kids, retirement. As Christians, there is another very important event that we hope and wait for: The return of Christ Jesus our Lord.  One part of Scripture that tells us about His return is Acts 1 (we will focus on verses 1-14). Verse 11 specifically tells us that Jesus will return in the same way He left.  Acts 1:10-11 - "And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.'" While we wait, God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us, to lead us and guide us through life here on earth. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit (verse 5...

"The Lord is here…"

I was reading about a missionary in Guatemala earlier. This missionary was telling a story about a time when they were building a church in the town they were working in. The building was set to start at nine in the morning. When the missionary arrived at 10, she asked the pastor if he was there working alone. Listen to the pastor's reply: "'Oh no,' he replied with a laugh, 'the Lord is here with me.'" How profound. How simple. How true. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily
