So I haven't written in a few days. It'll probably be a few days 'til I post again. Crazy storm coming. Even canceled the CYC Reunion....and I was looking forward to seeing my peeps from Conference. Oh, well. Safety is more important. I think we'll have a game of RISK at my house.
Any way....... I have decided to write that devotional for Christian knitting circles and individual knitters that I have been posting about. Here is another entry for it:
I find that switching colors on a knitting project is tough. It seems that that is the time I am most likely to make a mistake. When adding a new color, I often drop a stitch or mess up the pattern. It takes a little work to get back on track. I have learned to be extra-vigilant at these points.
It can be like that in life, too.
When things change, it can be difficult. Even good changes like marriage, the birth of a baby or moving into a new house are stressful.
It's helpful to remember this and watch for signs that stress is affecting us or our relationships. It can lead to irritability, short-temperedness, depressed mood and even ill health unless we are careful.
Added prayer and meditation can be useful at these times. Connecting with our Creator can help us at all times, even times of severe stress.
Keep watch and pray!
Lord, grant us your peace and direction in times of transition. In Jesus' name. Amen.
