FAT Goddess ATC Trade & Thoughts

PINK

I finished my Pink ATC series and am trading three in the FAT Goddess trade. I named them - Rae of Sunshine, Goddess of Wish, and Domestic Goddess. Here is a closeup of "Wish". This is made with paper fabric from tissue paper, muslin, acrylic paint and machine stitched. Embellished with left over paper fabric, a "wish" sticker, two turquoise beads, silk daisy flowers, and an utee face.

THOUGHTS

Do you know when you are being taken advantage of? Do you know how to gracefully and with diplomacy stand your ground without tearing the other person down? In the past I know I would have given anyone what they ask. I have an older gentleman at work the very first day he met me was interested in my schedule. He seems to want to change with everyone to get a perfect schedule for himself. I will go back to work tomorrow and have to let him know in a loving way I need to stick to the schedule for me without explanation, no apologizes and not feel bad about my decision. What do you do when a situation like that arises?

God's In Charge

More Pink ATC's

Here are 4 more of the 6 series - "PINK" ATCs. I really enjoyed finding just the right combination for each one. I loved it so much I really tested the waters and made two pink faces from modeling clay. Now I am really excited!!.

My camera does not want to upload anything so these are scanned in with my computer and Lexmark All-n-One.

A Visit To The Beach

Last night we decided to visit our son at the beach. He is so tired and exhausted he didn't even want to go out an eat. But we encouraged him to go and get a decent meal. Before we left a migraine at started for him. Our concern is he is not eating right but more importantly he is not hydrating himself at all. The tap water is nasty, he says. And truly he doesn't have the extra money right now to buy water. So he doesn't drink anything.

I am praying that God would actually move him closer to his church and even with someone who would need a companion in the home. Right now his life is playing music on the praise team for his church. So he would be a great asset to an older person in their home, bc he would always be around. My hubby drove home last night with a grieving spirit after seeing our son.

Since finding the prayer teaching from Benny Hinn I have listened over and over to his teaching. Very straight forward with great scripture about praying and asking God for His will through our prayers.

Everything Is Coming Out Pink

More Pink

I am posting 1 of 6 Series Pink ATCs from my MMSD paper fabric. I don't know if I will be able to part with these once they are finished. I really love the pinky color. Actually I was using red and the spray bottle I put the paint into had a little residue of body wash. Go figure. I included found man droppings of pink ribbon. My DILs unused silk daisy flowers pulled apart, cabochon faces, a button and metallic embroidery floss. These are so fun to make. All of them will be different.

A Post For Sue on Prayer

You know all the "unusual" things that I experience in my time talking with God. Well here is one for Sue. Yesterday my doggie wanted to walk so we set out for our daily walk. As I walked up the street, I noticed a broken cd on the curb, but I didn't pick it up. I really didn't feel like picking up any man droppings on that day.

My dog decided after a short distance he didn't want to walk after all. So he rebelled and plopped his butt down in the grass at the gas station. I waited and then he decided he wanted to return home. Fine by me, I wasn't much in the walking mood anyway.

On my way back I looked over to the open field and spotted another shiny cd. I said to myself, "no i won't pick that one up either." But the prompting of the Holy Spirit led me to go over in the tall uncut grass and pick that thing up. I could feel the prompting to look at the title. Here is what the title read:

Manna from Heaven - Prayer teaching by Benny Hinn. Ok now the Lord had my attention and I was also asking forgiveness for wanting to be disobedient in picking the thing up. I had been praying as I walked up the street. More like Doubting Thomas.

Boy did I feel in the "pink" and oh so wonderful. An answer to prayer for me was "prayer". I brought the thing home and told my hubby about it. He took one look at it and said, "Its pretty scratched up, it won't work." Well, I took the cd up to my art room, popped the cd into my player and you guessed it. It worked perfectly. Manna from Heaven. What more could I ask for? But be thankful to God who answers prayer. I know God must have had an angel drop that in the field just for me. And another thing - when I walked Bear later in the day the field had been cut.

The cd would have been history if I had hesitated and thought to go back later to retrieve it.
