Waiting.....

Be assured that if God makes you wait longer than you wish, it is only to make the blessing all the more precious.

Ode to My Sewing Machine


Oh, my fine and faithful friend,

After nine years, it must end.

I’ve kept you busy with many projects,

And never once did you object.

Actually, there was a time a couple months ago,

When an O-Ring you did blow.

And there were some times when with incorrect tension,

You’d do your best to thwart my mission.

But, all in all, you’ve been the best,

I would not accept any less!

And so, my faithful Singer,

I’m glad you did not linger.

I’ve had to replace you with another.

Never fear--it’s not a Brother!!!

What a day!

So today (well, technically yesterday), my Granddad passed away. He's been fighting a long, courageous battle with cancer for many years. Today, it finally ended. I have been very blessed to have all 4 of my grandparents living up until now. Please pray for my Grandmother. My grandparents were married for many, many years and this will be very difficult for her.

On more of a positive note, there's a baby in Kaohsiung, Taiwan being born into this world as I type. As one life is gone from this world, another enters it. Maybe this is the baby that God has picked out for Kalina? Please pray for this birth mother as she makes very difficult decisions in the next few days.
