I am doing both; but mostly knitting. I'm tackling my first sweater using cables and lace. I hope it fits properly when I'm finished! Are you on Ravelry? I am warriorchild.

When I went to Women of Faith in Philadelphia yesterday, it was really fun to already know the words to some of the newer (at least to me) praise songs as a result of listening to your music. It was my first Women of Faith and it was such a blessing!

Praise God for the strength and flexibility that He has given you in the last year; you have been through so much! I assume that your mother was a Christian woman since you gave her date of "departure"? That is a blessing, although I'm sure that you must miss her terribly.

Blessings,

I hope all is well with you! and glad that the music is blessing you. I know I couldn't make it through a day without knowing God is there for me and the affirming messages in the music just helps me to praise and glorify Him all the more.

Are you still knitting, or crocheting?

It's so good to hear from you again! I still listen to your music all the time!

And, yes, God is Good All the Time!
