After the past few months of personal loss, I search for the peace of God. It is coming, somewhat slowly but in His time. Our new minister is truly a man filled with God's peace, an inspiration to us all.hugsellie

week 2 GIVE AWAY
The photo is week ONE contest gift. It is a scrappy apron, stationary and a matching soap. (sitting on the shelf) Quiltmom #10 on the comments from week 1 contact me. You have one week.This week for girl friend time we will chat about PEACE.
Wikipedia's definition is:
Peace is a term that most commonly refers to an absence of aggression, violence or hostility, but which also represents a larger concept wherein there are healthy or newly-healed interpersonal or international relationships, safety in matters of social or economic welfare, the acknowledgment of equality and fairness in political relationships and, in world matters, peacetime; a state of being absent any war or conflict. Reflection on the nature of peace is also bound up with considerations of the causes for its absence or loss. Among these potential causes are: insecurity, social injustice, economic inequality, political and religious radicalism, and acute nationalism.
from the Anglo-Norman pas , and meaning "freedom from civil disorder", the English word came into use in various personal greetings from c.1300 as a translation of the biblical terms pax (from the Vulgate) and Greek eirene, which in turn were renderings of the Hebrew shalom. Shalom, cognate with the Arabic "salaam", has multiple meanings: safety, welfare, prosperity, security, fortune, friendliness. The personalised meaning is reflected in a nonviolent lifestyle, which also describes a relationship between any people characterized by respect, justice and goodwill. This latter understanding of peace can also pertain to an individuals sense of himself or herself, as to be "at peace" with one's own mind attested in Europe from c.1200. The early English term is also used in the sense of "quiet", reflecting a calm, serene, and meditative approach to the family or group relationships that avoids quarreling and seeks tranquility — an absence of disturbance or agitation.
Philippians 4:4-7 (New King James Version)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I Just LOVE this scripture! It gives me peace to know that The Lord has everything in control IF we only trust in him and we should NOT be anxious and have peace about situations!
This week I would like know if this verse helps you. Just leave a comment. Once you leave a comment you are entered in this weeks contest. Here is what you will get: an "itty bitty bunny
pincushion" (pattern from bunny hill courtesy of my friend swooze on quiltchat.com) AND a matching Easter table runner.

COFFEE!~!~
Today is one of those days! I got 2 of my Red Delicious blocks done. I am now officially caught up.My double delight only needs a border. I made an angel to take along to quilt in the car and finally last but not least, I got my Dear Jane cd out and considered it for a moment. I then placed it back on it's reverend spot on my shelf. LOL I am still in my jammies!
Presents
On the way home from working a twelve hour shift last night, my husband told me he went shopping and got me 2 new presents! How exciting!
Look what my two new gifts are.
I am blessed to be so loved and appreciated!

Ruler chat
I was shopping in Kmart yesterday and I was going through the organizational thingies. I could always use a little help in that department. I looked in a basket of junk on clearance and I seen a ruler! It was 5 bucks. So now I own 26 rulers, this new one is 6 x 12. I could really use this one for smaller projects I kept telling myself to justify the purchase.Then my cricut came yesterday. WOW what a toy! Hope I can squeeze some time in to play!

Nifty idea!~!
Joe will be home in 6 more days! That means he will have my camera! Yipee. He said the ship is great BUT the food stinks. I think that boy likes his mama's cooking! Thank goodness someone does!
My cricut that I ordered is on it's way to my house. It should be here by Monday!
Now let me run this idea by you: I have come up with a nifty idea!~!
Starting next Friday and lasting for six weeks I will have a girlfriend talk topic. I was inspired with the topic of Restful souls today while I was reading in the back seat of my sons car while we were all on our way to Cabella's. What a white knuckle ride!~!, but that's another story for a rainy day.
Anyway! For the next six weeks I will post a thoughtful question for you to answer after reading my paragraph. I will have a GIVE AWAY EACH WEEK! This will be starting next Friday. You will have 6 days to post your comments and on the following Friday I will draw a name.
So what do you think about this?? Make sure you follow my blog so you don't miss out!
I am off now to go make the first gift to give away!
