"And I will remember My covenant."-Genesis 9:15
    
    Mark the form of the promise. God does not say, "And when ye shall look upon the bow, and ye shall remember My covenant, then I will not destroy the earth," but it is gloriously put, not upon our memory, which is fickle and frail, but upon God's memory, which is infinite and immutable. "The bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant." Oh! it is not my remembering God, it is God's remembering me which is the ground of my safety; it is not my laying hold of His covenant, but His covenant's laying hold on me. Glory be to God! the whole of the bulwarks of salvation are secured by divine power, and even the minor towers, which we may imagine might have been left to man, are guarded by almighty strength. Even the remembrance of the covenant is not left to our memories, for we might forget, but our Lord cannot forget the saints whom He has graven on the palms of His hands. It is with us as with Israel in Egypt; the blood was upon the lintel and the two side-posts, but the Lord did not say, "When you see the blood I will pass over you," but "When I see the blood I will pass over you." My looking to Jesus brings me joy and peace, but it is God's looking to Jesus which secures my salvation and that of all His elect, since it is impossible for our God to look at Christ, our bleeding Surety, and then to be angry with us for sins already punished in Him. No, it is not left with us even to be saved by remembering the covenant. There is no linsey-wolsey here-not a single thread of the creature mars the fabric. It is not of man, neither by man, but of the Lord alone. We should remember the covenant, and we shall do it, through divine grace; but the hinge of our safety does not hang there-it is God's remembering us, not our remembering Him; and hence the covenant is an everlasting covenant.

Sew Excited

Handmade by Heidi

Last night was the Oct. FridayNight Sew-In with Heidi and Bobbie before I saw you what I got accomplished I thought I'd give you a sneak preview at my yummy goodies that I got for my daughter's senior quilt.  I am sew excited to see this come together.  Hopefully, I'll get started on it next week.  Before I show you the material I'll show you the pattern.....





It is called Just Flutterin'  and I don't remember what site I downloaded it from; it has been so long.  I'm going to revise it just a tish bit as I'm going to make the big butterflies (there are 6-two in each color) all the same color.  The pattern calls for a two-tone 1/2 solid 1/2 print.  You can kind of see it on the top page, but the bottom page of the pattern is little better picture of it.

And now for the fabric i chose...it is sew bright and cheery.....




There are about four different print type groups...








I'm sew in love with these fabrics.  I can't wait to see how this all comes out.   And now for a peak at what I accomplished last night in sew-in.  I got a few hours in.  I'm done with the "x's" we are working on the outlining so you can't see much of what was accomplished but here are the before and after pictures....
