The Books

I’m continuing to sporadically read God For Us. I wish I was more disciplined in keeping up with my daily readings, but, as I did for Advent, I’m letting go of the need to do this perfectly. I’m enjoying what I am reading. I missed last Friday’s reading and looked back at it yesterday, only to discover that one of the scripture readings was Isaiah 58 — the very same verses I quoted in my post on that same day!

The second “book” is the Winter 2015 issue of Compassion Magazine, the quarterly publication from Compassion International. I’ve been a sponsor with Compassion for nearly 20 years, and I look forward to this magazine coming. It’s filled with wonderful stories of God’s work through Compassion. Every so often, the issue highlights one of the countries where I have a sponsor child, which is an added bonus. 🙂

I’m also spending a lot of time in this book:

More on that later. 😉

The Needles

I’m making great progress on Lexie’s new bloom. I just completed the ribbed bodice and have moved onto the skirt portion. My hands are going to be relieved to be done with all that purling! I love getting to this point in this pattern because the garment takes a more obvious shape.

That about does it for me today. I’ll be linking up with the Yarn Along at Ginny’s. Have a blessed rest of your Wednesday.
