My Dear Friends,
Welcome to Patchwork and Peanut Butter!
If you are an old friend, you know this has been an on again, off again addition in my life! Welcome back to what I hope is now an on-going expression of all the joys, triumphs, lessons and changes that have happened and are continually filling out my Crazy Quilt Life!
If you are a new friend, Welcome!!! I invite you to go back through my previous posts. There are not that many, but it may give you a little understanding of what I am about. Hopefully you will find something that blesses you and you continue to be a part of my followers.
Now for a little catch-up! If you look back at the dates, you will see that I began this blog 4 1/2 years ago. In all honesty, I have had more changes during those years than all the rest of my life combined. Some have been devastating. Others have been breath-takingly amazing. There have been moments when I have triumphed and moments when I have been crushed. All my big girls grew up and left home. Our adoption was finally finalized. I started and failed at a business! We celebrated life at funerals, weddings, graduations, births, holidays. We added 2 sons to our family. I got a tattoo. We cheered at ballgames and theater productions. I had a life threatening illness and survived a life-saving surgery. My baby girl grew into a precocious pre-schooler. My husband and I are now working on our 28th year of marriage. A patch work of colors and textures swirling through the passing time. Through it all, I have always had a sense of the Master Quilter lovingly choosing the exactly perfect patches of events and people to blend together with His grace, stitch together with His strength, weave together with His healing. Now as I sit here at my keyboard and look back over the past 4 1/2 years, I can more fully glimpse the Masterpiece He is making of my Crazy Quilt Life.
So, it is with a re-awakened sense of purpose and joy that I hope to encourage each of you to trust the Master and say with me, in the words of the Philosopher, "He has made everything beautiful in His time." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Blessings on you all!
