Alligator Clips + Live in the Liberty of God

As I was sitting here thinking about how to keep a seam together, and getting frustrated with how the tips of my fingers were starting to feel with being poked all the time while sending the seams through my sewing machine or ironing. I thought to myself, how can I do this and keep my sanity and the pain away? I don’t know why it came to me but why not alligator clips that go in you hair? They hold a bow perfectly in for hair for a good amount of time… They won’t snag your fabric and it will hold a thicknesses of fabric well depending on the strength of the clip. I always seem to have an abundance of these type thing hanging around from leftover projects. So here is a new use for a hair bow clip!! Use them to keep your seams together while crafting!!! Looking forward to using this technique tomorrow!!



Live in the Liberty of God

by Joyce Meyer - posted August 24, 2011

Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.
—Romans 14:13 NKJV

There are many things you cannot do, but there are also numerous things you can do, and do well. You don't have to compare yourself or your abilities and accomplishments with those of others. You are free to follow the God-given plan for your life.

Each of us must have the liberty to be led of God. We even have the right to make our own mistakes and learn from them.

If you allow other people to become a law to you, thinking you must be like them, it steals your freedom, and it's no one's fault but your own. Likewise you must not judge others or expect them to be like you.

Determine now that you will enjoy the liberty of living in God's will . . . and allow others to live in liberty as well.

Appreciate Correction

by Joyce Meyer - posted August 16, 2011

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's Word and life's experiences], for the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold.
—Proberbs 3:13-14

Ask God to reveal areas in which you need to apply self-control. You can even enjoy the journey to becoming all that He has in mind for you to be, if you learn to appreciate godly correction from others. Remember, God loves you just the way you are, but He corrects those He loves (see Proverbs 3:12).
Only mature Christians enjoy the meat of God's Word, and He has much to share with His grown-up sons and daughters. There will always be more to learn, so don't make excuses for your weak points.
Accepting the truth will set you free (see John 8:32), and God will give you strength to overcome in those areas in which you are weak.
