I started this blog as forum for expressing how I find God in my everyday life. My hope is that other people will participate and write about where they find God, also. Please feel free to post even if it's only a few words. Anywhere you find God is an inspiration to us all.

Crocheting Again
Today I learned to crochet again. My aunt first taught me when I was a teenager, and I crocheted several afghans up through my early twenties. I only knew how to do one type of stitch at a time - nothing fancy - so I always did various types of afghans. When I was expecting my first child - my son, Morgan - I started an afghan for him. He was born before I completed it, and to this day (25 years later) it remains unfinished. I had this lovely notion of crocheting while my babies slept and/or played alongside me. I quickly found out motherhood is nothing like that. :) I remained busy from then till now with a few breaks along the way, but for some reason I never got back to my crocheting. Until now. I happened to come across a video online and thought I'd try it out again. I bought yarn and a crochet hook, and guess what? It's like riding a bike! I can do it! I was so pleased with how easily I fell back into the rhythm of this wonderful craft. I still have a few bugs to work out, but I love it. It was so comforting working the yarn and watching my crochet fabric grow. Re-learning an old craft that brought me so much enjoyment - that is where I found God today.
