"All things are possible to him that believeth."-Mark 9:23
    
    Many professed Christians are always doubting and fearing, and they forlornly think that this is the necessary state of believers. This is a mistake, for "all things are possible to him that believeth"; and it is possible for us to mount into a state in which a doubt or a fear shall be but as a bird of passage flitting across the soul, but never lingering there. When you read of the high and sweet communions enjoyed by favoured saints, you sigh and murmur in the chamber of your heart, "Alas! these are not for me." O climber, if thou hast but faith, thou shalt yet stand upon the sunny pinnacle of the temple, for "all things are possible to him that believeth." You hear of exploits which holy men have done for Jesus; what they have enjoyed of Him; how much they have been like Him; how they have been able to endure great persecutions for His sake; and you say, "Ah! as for me, I am but a worm; I can never attain to this." But there is nothing which one saint was, that you may not be. There is no elevation of grace, no attainment of spirituality, no clearness of assurance, no post of duty, which is not open to you if you have but the power to believe. Lay aside your sackcloth and ashes, and rise to the dignity of your true position; you are little in Israel because you will be so, not because there is any necessity for it. It is not meet that thou shouldst grovel in the dust, O child of a King. Ascend! The golden throne of assurance is waiting for you! The crown of communion with Jesus is ready to bedeck your brow. Wrap yourself in scarlet and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day; for if thou believest, thou mayst eat the fat of kidneys of wheat; thy land shall flow with milk and honey, and thy soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. Gather golden sheaves of grace, for they await thee in the fields of faith. "All things are possible to him that believeth."

Finishes and Starts.....

http://sugarlanequilts.blogspot.com/

Well for May's FNSi I was able to get two projects completed and one started. It is always a good feeling to get projects done.  My completed projects were....


A bag I started making for my mom back in March I believe.  I ran out of hot pink thread last month so had to finish sewing the handles down.  It is now completed.  Ready to ship.  Not in time for Mother's Day, but almost. 





Then I got my sewing machine cover completed.  I've been working on it for quite some time now.  I had to put on the bottom cream flowered fabric piece and bottom eyelet layer. 

Now I'm starting a walker bag for my dad.  This is my own made up in my mind pattern.  My mom requested a bag with three pockets that qt. size jars will fit in.  So hopefully this turns out ok.  He has two that are just basket type all one compartment.  So I started cutting last night.....
