Shannon, at Rocks in my Dryer , is hosting a huge giveaway! Isn't that exciting! I love to give something meaningful to my friends - as I shop, I always look for just the right item that fits our relationship and the individual's personality. So, if you stop by this little blog of mine, I think you might like this gift I've picked out. This fall, I have been nourished by the wisdom of Phillip Yancey in his recent book on prayer. Our Bible study has plumbed the depths of prayer with Yancey's help in this amazing book. My personal prayer life has been challenged and I have probed the deeper questions surrounding prayer with a beloved mentor. I would love for you to enjoy this book too. I'll be giving the book away to one blessed commenter. So, leave a comment here and I'll be drawing a name next week to give away this treasure box full of well-mined jewels from God's Word and life's experiences. Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw

You must be having a busy week. I'll pray for you, with kids back to school, and you back to school.
What a beautiful picture I envisioned as I read your post on God hemming us in. My mother used to sew much of our clothing when I was young. I would get so excited to have a new garment and knew the finish was in sight when she began to them it. Sometimes her hemming pins would prick me a bit as she was adjusting the hem to perfectly fit. Ultimately the discomfort was worth it when the new garment was finished a a perfect fit. AS I read your post I saw being hemmed in by God not as being trapped but as in Him loving stitching up a new garment for me to wear, just like He provided your husband with a new job. He is a master tailor although His hemming pins may prick a bit from time to time, He ultimately has a finished garment that is tailor made to His life plan for us. I am off to memorize the beautiful verse you referenced!
Thank you for moving my soul!
Hope all is well over there!:)
Great devo!
