Apron strings

I have been meaning to post this apron that my mom and Madison made for me during the summer. I think the house border is so cute. I love aprons. I really do use them. I think I could collect them if I let myself. I was really impressed with Madison's sewing skills on the pockets. After my mom showed her how to make the pockets, she made them entirely by herself. I think she needs to teach me how to make some.

I would really like it if you would say a special prayer of protection for Jared as he moved today, into his first apartment. I felt like I asked him 200 questions and gave twice as many suggestions when he told me he was getting his own place. Even though he has not lived with me for a very long time, he is in my heart and thoughts every day. While he was living with his dad I knew where he was and that he would have food and warm socks. Now he has moved to the next, very important step. It is not easy to let go but it is very necessary. Mac and cheese is not so bad and warm socks are easy enough to come by. He is in God's hands.

In Christ Alone

I place my trust and find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory let it be said of me

my source of strength

my source of hope

is Christ alone

One of my favorite songs. It is all in His hands anyway. Just a funny memory; Jared used to be terrified of the big mall hand. He would walk way around it when he was about five. We tease him about it but he doesn't mind. He has such a sweet spirit.
