Yay! My first blog!

Alright everybody! I'm so excited about this! So I'm thinking that I am going to share the thoughts I've been having the last few days. I've been watching quite a few BBC films, (older romace/mystery films) as I am crochet Christmas gifts, and I have developed the urge/desire to dress like they did then! You know like in the 1700's? Like Pride and Prejudice? Man, their beautiful long, (modest,) dresses. They had tea instead of coffee, even though I'm a sucker for the Starbucks seasonal pumpkin spice coffee :) Its wierd these phases we go through. I wish that I could just sit down in the middle of the day and have tea with friends, its the little things in life I guess :)

The other thing that has been on my heart lately is Mary, the mother of Jesus, what a strong woman she was. I also watched the Nativity Story the other day while I was crocheting and I just can't help envying her faith in the Angels words. How I wish I had faith like that. But maybe thats where it all starts? With the little seed of desire to imitate those who set such a wonderful example ahead of us! I know I can't do it on my own, in fact I almost frustrate myself trying to. Its during those times that I know the Lord is looking down on my wondering what on earth I am doing!! I can't have faith without Him! I NEED HIS strength! Makes me think of the man in the Bible who said, "Lord I believe, but help my unbelief!"
