Sew Crafty Friday

I'm sorry. We had to pick up the truck this morning.

The only thing "crafty" I got done this week was to fix a blouse for someone from church. lol ;0) The Sabbath school director from church had a blouse on a couple of weeks ago made out of like a sheer fabric. When I looked, she had a rip near the seam. She was going to throw it out, and I told her I should be able to fix it with the serger, as the rest of the blouse was serged.

I'm not sure if you can tell which part I did. I did the seam on top, it looks a little tighter than the seam of the blouse, which is on the bottom.

I'm hoping to start blogging on a regular basis once we get to our new home. If you can please pray for us, that would be great. My beloved is leaving with the truck, car, and pets on Sunday morning, around 3 or 4 in the morning. I will be getting on an airplane Monday morning with the children. What a birthday I will have. lol A perfect gift!! We were planning on leaving this week, but Kayla really wanted to get baptized with our "church family" here. So my beloved will be preaching his last sermon at our church this Sabbath, and he will have the honor of baptizing Kayla before we leave. :0) We wanted to sort of sneak out, as we didn't want the church to make a big deal about planning a farewell. I don't think we will be escaping as quietly as we thought. lol ;0) I would really appreciate your prayers for my beloved and his brother Isaac as they make the over 40 hour drive, especially with Butch.

We weren't sure if we were going to put him to sleep. We left it up to our vet. We prayed beforehand, and asked the Lord to use the vet. He checked him out and said his heart is fine, he's eating fine, etc. We had already said our goodbyes to him. All the children and I cried. Even my dad, all the way in NY was crying. Here we are saying our goodbyes. It was horrible. My beloved was never allowed any pets as a child. This was our first pet. We bought him within a year of getting married. He is older than Kayla!! I was really scared as to how my beloved was going to take it.


We were all surprised when my beloved called to say he was coming back home with Butch. My beloved said we should change his name to Lazarus. lol He pretty much has to be let out to urinate every 3 hours or so, 24 hours a day. It should be a pretty interesting 40+ hour trip. Thank you so much for your well wishes and prayers. I will have my laptop on the plane, so I'm hoping to catch up and share how the Lord opened up the doors to make all of this possible. We serve an amazing God, who cares about ALL the details.
