"In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him."-Colossians 2:9, 10
    
    All the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal. All the fulness of the Godhead, whatever that marvellous term may comprehend, is ours to make us complete. He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity; but He has done all that can be done, for He has made even His divine power and Godhead subservient to our salvation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability and infallibility, are all combined for our defence. Arise, believer, and behold the Lord Jesus yoking the whole of His divine Godhead to the chariot of salvation! How vast His grace, how firm His faithfulness, how unswerving His immutability, how infinite His power, how limitless His knowledge! All these are by the Lord Jesus made the pillars of the temple of salvation; and all, without diminution of their infinity, are covenanted to us as our perpetual inheritance. The fathomless love of the Saviour's heart is every drop of it ours; every sinew in the arm of might, every jewel in the crown of majesty, the immensity of divine knowledge, and the sternness of divine justice, all are ours, and shall be employed for us. The whole of Christ, in His adorable character as the Son of God, is by Himself made over to us most richly to enjoy. His wisdom is our direction, His knowledge our instruction, His power our protection, His justice our surety, His love our comfort, His mercy our solace, and His immutability our trust. He makes no reserve, but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for the hidden treasures. "All, all, all are yours," saith He, "be ye satisfied with favour and full of the goodness of the Lord." Oh! how sweet thus to behold Jesus, and to call upon Him with the certain confidence that in seeking the interposition of His love or power, we are but asking for that which He has already faithfully promised.

FNS-Flop


Well, the intents were good, but very little was accomplished in my February sew-in.  Heidi and Bobbie host a monthly sew-in.  I tried and did get some sewing in but just not what was planned.  Best laid plans went hay-wire to say the least.  First off, I lost my sewing partner.  My dd was called in to work so she wasn't able to sew.  So I set down and started to sew on my cross-stitch project around 4 pm...
I got out all the supplies....

and started getting things ready to dig in...  cutting my material, finding the center and finding the center of pattern....


cool.  How hard can it be. really.  I hadn't done a counted cross-stitch in awhile I was really clipping along...


but as I was stitching I'm picturing this little project that my mom has given to me in my head.  Yep, it is kind of a made up thing.  I found a patter to go with the saying she wanted.  Previously, I laid out the saying on graph paper and got it all counted out.  Bingo ready to go.....um, excuse me.... Now, I'm getting a funny filling....  Yep, you guessed it.  I cut the material the wrong size.   So guess what.  I had to cut a new piece of material and start again....  ARGH!  By this time I'd spent 2 hours on the project. And daughters call and say, "Mom we're off work bring a movie and pizza do you have chips?  So much for sewing....
I did do some stitching while watching the movie after getting the material situation all figured out.  Well, I hope I figured it out.  So here is what I got accomplished....


Here is the pattern ...

after I got started on the correct path I hope.  I told my daughter, "I should have done this on a light blue material..  She said, "Does that mean you are starting over again?"  I said, "Nope".  We'll just have a white sky or I'll cross-stitch the sky blue.  I'm not starting over baby.... Yep, I'm a little rusty.  I haven't cross-stitched in about 6 months.  Hopefully next session will be a little more productive.  How was your FNSi?


Before you go thought I'd share a giveaway I found.  You'll have to head over to Vignette in Stitches' Blog to enter.
