I have started hand finishing the binding on my quilts again. Not only because it looks better, but because it gives me an opportunity to pray for the person who will receive the quilt. This one I am making is for a very dear friend's baby. As I stitch, I pray for as yet unborn Annabelle Rose. I pray that she grows close to God's heart. I pray for her body; that she enjoys good health. I pray for her spirit; that she grows into a Godly young woman. I pray for her future husband; that he follows God's own heart. I pray for her parents; that they will enjoy each and every moment that they are blessed to spend with Annabelle. I pray that they raise her up, knowing that there are loving friends praying for them along the way.

Why "Getting Out of the Box"?

I've been a stay-at-home-mom, a home-school-mom, a working-mom, and I am a wife. I am now offically an empty-nester. None of these define who I am, only the season of life I am in. 

Now that I have more time to devote to learning more about God, doing more crafty things and keeping the laundry done, I find that I'm not sure where to start. Of course, the obvious choice is God. So you will join me in my walk with my Creator, God. He has given me a passion for art (painting, quilting, crafting, teaching). 

I am the Office Manager/Administrator for our family business (Louisiana Air Systems, Inc.), I am in ministry at Church of the Highlands, I am married to a video chef-blogger "Louisiana Cajun Recipes) on YouTube. He has inspired me to start my own blog. 

Since I have many interests, we will see where this journey takes us.
