Look at Me!!!

OK, so I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and I am giddy about finnaly making my own blog site. I really think it's ScreenPhobia that I have. I shy away from screens because of their effect on me: nothing outside of the screen matters.
I have just returned from SAGA convention in Atl and have found out that I can enhance my website through a blog spot. Well I'm trying it on my own and will get help from a vetran blogger when we can get together.
SAGA conv. was incredible. I get so much inspiration and encouragement. I had Vaune Pierce for the first time and loved her. Laura Jenkins Thompson was amazing as usual and I actually finished the project. Lillie McAnge was delightful with her easy pace, yet gently pushing us to improve our stitches. I had a couple of "oh yea" moments in Judeth Adams' class. The only seemingly negative thing was that my van was broken into and about half of my ready-to-smock garments were taken. I say "seemingly negative" because it was a great opportunity to proclaim the gospel. My hope is not in fabric and thread (which is all the garments are) but in God who provided and provides for me. He has provided payment for my debt that my sins have accrued for me and perfect righteousness that is required to stand in His presence. He is providing hope for me. This world is not my home and in it I will find tribulation. I am able to forgive because I have been forgiven much. The man (I know it was a man because the chocolate that was in the van was not taken) who broke in has only the hope he can steal and that is no hope. God offers hope at no cost to us through faith in Christ, the only path to God. I pray for this man that he might find hope in Christ.
"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." John 17:3
