p.s.–Thank you for your post. Your (proverbial) pen is definitely God's instrument today.

This posts touches me right where I am currently. The glimpse began Friday afternoon and over the hours since has become a careful examination of that which currently looks like knots, frays, and tangles. But … He's allowing me to flip the handiwork over every so often during this time, to see the glorious pattern He's creating, even if it's confusing and a little overwhelming when I'm in the midst of epic change.

Been a long time. Sometimes all I see is God's name on the needle flashing past. He's there though. My recent post Social Media: Relationship or Content?

[...] I know this is kind of cheesy, but for some reason I cant stop thinking about the tapestry of life. This comparing life to a tapestry has resonated in my mind. Fits so perfectly how I have been feeling. Sometimes life looks like such [...]

To build on your metaphor of our lives as tapestries, I think we might be the ones who are weaving our lives by the choices we make. When destructive things happen–and believe me, we all have circumstances that have the potential of causing us harm–we have the choice in how we respond. When we turn to God, He can turn evil to good (Romans 8:28). I've learned as I have worked through some pretty tough things that I can never go wrong asking God for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. I marvel at how His absolute love has been and is perfect, complete, and real no matter what my circumstances are.

Pt 2 God had plans in all of it, one brother healed, another healthy, we buried my precious mother, allowing my father later to be blessed by my precious new bride at 73. Writing and community involvement led me to discover that not only do I love working with out of the box solutions and creating strategies for market branding and website content. A most unusual truck wreck crossed my path with someone who believes in our dream to help restore families one heart at a time with quality iTV productions. Who knew?! God used everything from my teaching Pk-University background, to direct sales successes winning two cars, to understanding Grace at a whole new level through the illnesses, to the strength to perservere and allow God to reshape me and to help me realize fully that God indeed is God and we are not. God has woven my thin, scraggly thread into a new beautiful picture, in cluding a very happy remarriage with two more children to love that required exactly the thread I was to complete the scene he had woven….and God knew it all along that my barrenness and threadbare places would fit just where He designed them all along.

The past 12 years had been difficult, left alone with a 3 year old and 19 day old child after a difficult pregnancy, losing 4 of my rock of ages geriatric members my close family in one week, followed by one of two nephews collapsing and dying at 16, my district consolidating and closing as a single mom, and the final blow….my mother, father, and brother having diagnosis of cancer while my husband was in Iraq in the same six months. My life took on a whole new level of trusting God to survive. I came home from teaching, I began writing, working from home, and helping others to survive what I could not dare be focused inward about….every system/situation/pattern of life I knew was entirely gone from my life. Five years later, pt 2 to follow

Part of my tapestry involved an old boss making me cancel my vacation 2 weeks out to handle a big event.
I was taking my new wife home to Scotland and had bought the tickets and was very upset about the change.

We of course pushed it back to go after the work event and on July 18th 1996 we sat at home in horror watching the news. The flight we were supposed to be on TWA flight 800 from JFK to Paris crashed.

The hand of God had reached out and saved us for sure but the story gets better. My first daughter was born on July 18th 1998.

Have a great week!
