• Faux Pas's and God

  Yesterday, I made a computer/internet faux pas.  (and I KNOW better!) I'm not going to say what it was, but suffice it to say that I wish I could go back and undo it.  Or change it.  I felt so bad about it since it affected other people, and it ate away at me all afternoon yesterday.  Taking a step back, I wonder why we beat ourselves up so much over things that are so simple (in hindsight)?  I've done that my whole life--I make mistakes and then it eats away at me. 
  God still loves me, no matter how much I screw up.  No matter what I do or what I've done, I know that He'll still love me. 
  Not sure about other people, though. 
  I think that's the main problem, looking to others for approval. 
  I need to be looking to God for approval. 

  I finished my class last week and I'm telling you, I'm so glad it's over!  I get such anxiety over tests and homework.  Even if I know/think I'll do well, I still get nervous.  I got A's on the two papers and the two tests, so I got an A out of the class.  Yay! 
  Now that my final is over, I've devoted time to finishing up the quilt I'm making for our school's auction.  (it's actually the school where my son goes)
  I've got the top mostly done, but I want to put a couple of embroidery items on it.  Then I will be off to find batting for it, and backing.  For the actual quilting, I'll be doing mostly "stitch in the ditch", which is where I just sew along the already existing seams (ditches).  I'm not ready to try any fancy stitching since I'm still fairly new at it. 

  I'll post a photo when I'm done with it.
