Quilt #1

Here are some pictures of my first rag quilt. It's called a rag quilt because of the raw edges on the front. This one is for my younger brother and his wife and their daughter who is due in November....

As for me, I'm doing okay.

On an emotional/cognitive level, I've been going through some stuff in the last week or two.

On a spiritual level, God hasn't left me or forsaken me and is reminding me to focus on Him and His promises. As long as I do that, I'm okay. If I start speculating about the future and focusing on the grief I've been feeling recently, and which I can't articulate yet, I'm a disaster, my relationships are a disaster, and life looks like a disaster.

On a relational level, I'm enjoying spending time with some of my siblings who've come to visit from far away places.

On a physical level, my stomach is still not right from the radiation, and needs to settle down... But yesterday I went on a forty minute walk in the woods. This was the first real walk I've been on since June 6 and it was awesome. I had enough energy to do the walk comfortably and my body wasn't hurting, it was amazing. The junk in my neck is growing and hurting so I need prayer for wisdom about that. I don't know if I should do something about it while it's small (radiation or surgery...) or try to ignore it because it's part of the process....

I'll post some pictures of some pendants I made at some point this week.
