C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious."-1 Peter 2:3

    If:-then, this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race. "If:"-then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. "If:"-then this is not a general but a special mercy; and it is needful to enquire whether we know the grace of God by inward experience. There is no spiritual favour which may not be a matter for heart-searching.

    But while this should be a matter of earnest and prayerful inquiry, no one ought to be content whilst there is any such thing as an "if" about his having tasted that the Lord is gracious. A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer's heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed. We must not rest without a desperate struggle to clasp the Saviour in the arms of faith, and say, "I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him." Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus. Let nothing satisfy thee till, by the infallible witness of the Holy Spirit bearing witness with thy spirit, thou art certified that thou art a child of God. Oh, trifle not here; let no "perhaps" and "peradventure" and "if" and "maybe" satisfy thy soul. Build on eternal verities, and verily build upon them. Get the sure mercies of David, and surely get them. Let thine anchor be cast into that which is within the veil, and see to it that thy soul be linked to the anchor by a cable that will not break. Advance beyond these dreary "ifs;" abide no more in the wilderness of doubts and fears; cross the Jordan of distrust, and enter the Canaan of peace, where the Canaanite still lingers, but where the land ceaseth not to flow with milk and honey.

What I worked on this weekend

Well, I completed a project I started last year....(if you don't remember you can read here.) Anyway..I finished a pin cushion/thread catcher while using my new ruffler foot.

and yes if you followed the link to the post I gave above. I did make one change. I got rid of the red rick rack. I didn't care for the red it was too bright of a red for the material. I'm glad I did because it was a battle to decide to rip it off. However, my sewing room motto:

Whatsoever a woman sewth that shall she also rip

So therefore we ripped. ;P When I sew, the seam ripper and I are BFF.

Here are a few more snaps of the whole project...

I made it so if I wanted to use just the pin cushion I could...

pattern??? No, I just made it up as I went. I saw the pin cushion here, and just made my own pattern. Then I decided I wanted to try my hand at making a thread catcher. I found a tutorial for a thread catcher (I don't remember which site I was at, sew I can't give credit. sorry) I started and completed the thread catcher last year for the pincushion blog hop. Any way another completed project for 2014. ;P

Now I have to get serious about the project for....

because I'm running on RUSH hour time. I went out last weekend looking for some inspiration and all I came home with was....

sew I frantically started digging in my stash. What did I find?????

Not a whole lot of inspiration that is for sure. ARGH!!!! Callgon take me away!

Don't forget this Friday is....
