Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Is 41:10

Yesterday.  Just one more of those days that feel like weight hanging around your neck.

When a friend of mine texted me this verse, I held back tears.  How much I needed to remember!

I think the part I noticed most strongly was "for I am thy God". 

~ Fear thou not.~

Autumn Colors & Projects

Today was especially overcast, almost looked like 5:00 pm in December by mid afternoon.  The rain came this evening, bringing with it the first hints of fall.  The smell in the air is amazing as the city snuggles up quietly in the dusk.  Only the occasional sound of swooshing tires can be heard, and the sound of a steady breeze.

As I sit in our warm, cozy apartment, I am continually amazed at how quiet this city is. (At least it seems our southeastern corner is quiet.) I am writing during a quick break before delving into food preparation.  Adventure awaits as I try turning grape nut cereal into something other than cereal, but that will have to be covered in a different post.

Some of you know of my current furniture make over.  I am please to announce all the chairs are stained and our entry-way table.   Aunt Nancy gave it to me before we were married.  The table top had big circle stains.  Here is an after shot :)
