A Kept Woman

I Am a 'Kept ' Woman?

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But GOD kept me sane.. (Isa. 26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,

But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,

But the LORD kept my mouth shut.. (Psa. 13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,

But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc., (Matt. 6:25 -34)

When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.

When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

I'm blessed to be 'kept '

Do you know a 'kept ' woman?

If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'Kept '

I'm "Kept" by the Love and Grace of God

How to Plant Your Garden of Daily Living

First you come into the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses --


Plant three rows of peas

• Peace of Mind
• Peace of Heart
• Peace of Soul

Plant four rows of squash

• Squash gossip
• Squash indifference
• Squash grumbling
• Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce

• Lettuce be kind
• Lettuce be faithful
• Lettuce be patient
• Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips

• Turnip for meetings
• Turnip for service
• Turnip to help one another

A row of glads

• Glad to live in a free country
• Glad to have all my good friends
• Glad to be able to worship God
• Glad to have my great family

And last, but not least, a row of thyme

• Thyme for God
• Thyme for Family
• Thyme for Friends
• Thyme for those in need

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow.

Trust God

How often do I think about God? When I see this sign, I keep telling myself that God is the one hold the key to my heart and my life. So many things had happen in my life that I had to go to God as he is the key to give me the peace that I need. I depend on God to help me get through in my life. My life have been hard. Being deaf all of my life, it is a hardship but God have given me the skill to learn how to talk and read lips. I had made some big mistake in my life. God is the key to my heart as he is the one who forgive my sins and wash it away with his blood. He is the key to my heart. His key can open up my heart to give out his love to everyone. He can open my heart to be happy and at peace even when I go through trails. One thing I know is that I never have to worry about being alone to deal with the trail as He promise to be with me. There are times that I might forget turn to God, but lucky I have few people to remind me or God will send his birds close to me as to remind me that He is here with me. I put my trust in God for he is the one who will holds the key to my life.

Cross Stitching

I have done many cross stitching. This is the only picture I have that I made for my friend's little boy in the 80's. At my home I have birds, fishing and nature animals that I did for myself. I also had done many as a gift too. Maybe some day I will have my daughter take some pictures of what I made for myself.

Crocheting

I made this baby blanket, sweater and cap. I was digging through my album to find some picture that I had made. I was surprise that I found only what I have posted here. I know I made so many and gave away as a gift.

Crocheting

This is my first Barbie gown I made back in 2000. My mom was the first person who started to make some barbie gown. I borrowed the patterns from my mom and made my first one. I did made different barbie gown for my granddaughter. I didn't took a picture of it. I do have more pattern that I haven't crochet yet.

Crocheting

I made this baptism gown for my former boss. I spent 70 hours making this. My former boss was the one who found this pattern and asked me to make it for her future grandchild. I think I made this in 1998. Her husband does glass stain and he made me the hummingbird window glass stain as thank you for the baptism gown. I still have the pattern but I never did make another.
