Last year I discovered the coolest guy who crochets, Howie Woo (see my post here).
That's correct, I said guy who crochets.
Ever since stumbling across his blog, I have been laughing my head off at his ingenius creations, creative photos and video clips featuring his crochet beauties.
His most recent post stood out because one of his creations was called "Kristy" after me - how cool is that! I also loved it because of my secret desire to do some yarnbombing of my own one day.
Keep up the awesome work Howie - you are making crochet so cool!!! ;)
Just last week my husband and I stood next to the bed of a lady who was moments away from death.
We had never met her before, she was old and we were young. I don't even know if she could see us... but we could tell she knew we were there.
As pastors you experience many different things, often going into situations that you never would normally. And at times it can be very challenging, especially in the matter of life and death.
We both felt honoured to be by this lady's side, honoured to be able to read her scriptures of hope from the Bible and pray with her. We felt God's peace and presence fill her room.
Later that night this dear lady passed away. I felt so sad, yet a deep peace filled my heart.
While my normal day can seem to be filled with the trivial and mundane things, situations like this make me realise I was standing next to someone about to enter the doorway to eternity... and everything else in life paled in comparison to this moment.
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
