A rambling of sorts

So, I haven't really talked much about my little project 525,600 Stitches....  Yes, I am still doing it.  I just started feeling unhappy with the way I was viewing my blogging, so I've been reevaluating things.  And that mixed in with making things for our craft show hasn't left me much time for sewing my own clothes the past month and a half.

My last sewing project - this dress

 So what am I doing?  I am going to blog here however and whenever I want...that's what I've decided ;)  I want to have a journal of sorts to look back on and remember and having my blog is an enjoyable way for me to do that.  I want to share things that I'm interested in, words that stir my heart, pictures of my family doing what we do....  And so that's exactly what I'm going to do!!  (And I'm going to use lots of ellipsis because I like to!)  This blog is supposed to be my heart in word form and somewhere along the way I got sidetracked.  Thankfully, He helped me find my way back.  I write because it frees me....  And if my words or my favorite outfit or a picture I take can bless someone else, than that is wonderful too, but I don't want it to be the reason why I blog.

I really am happy ;)

I'm a thinker, an analyzer.  It can make you crazy sometimes to always be thinking ahead...not just living in the moment.  Do I know and trust that God is in control?  Of course!!  But, I sometimes have a hard time just living in the now and not wondering what it all means....  Sometimes it's just silly things like, for instance, with my blog I will think to myself 'Should I really write about something so trivial as a sewing project I want to do or a cute new blog that I like to read'.  Won't I think that's silly when I go back and reread this "blog thing" ten years from now....  I analyze...too much!!  I just want to write whatever I want to write here just because.


Because this is me...and I like me.

And I'm just going to be me!

I am such an over thinker too! 'Why blog?' has always been a question I struggle to find an answer to.
But take me for instance. I just stumbled upon your blog one day and discovered an amazing family of followers of Christ. I don't come from a Christian family, but seeing that it's possible is so encouraging. You've also inspired me to start sewing my own clothes. And it's great to get this practice in now because someday I want to create clothing for my entire family too. : )
Sorry, kind of rambly. Just wanted to let you know that I think, even though lots of people don't comment, when people on the internet come in contact with blogs of people living out their faith, it impacts them greatly.

this sounds really good and godly, I will have to catch up on some other posts so I can see where you are coming from more. but I know first hand as a new blogger how tricky it can be to not feel like it's all "empty" stuff. if you let yourself be who God created you to be, you can't go wrong, so i like what i'm reading here! excited and anxious to read more! btw, i'm sorry, that dress is gorgeous! (last one you're making?)
