About Morning Knits

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody. I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats. Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties. I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.

what to keep and what to share…

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Morning Knits

Another Holiday under our belts. Family, check. Good times, check. Disappointment, oh yeah. Excitement, wrapped in something personal, check there too. Sometimes I wonder if we will ever celebrate this season without tears. Will we ever just let it be, … Continue reading →

blessings on this new day

Posted on December 16, 2011 by Morning Knits

Such a strange feel to the morning. I woke up from the same dreams I’ve had for 2 weeks. Came downstairs and started to turn on the tv but didn’t – instead, I made coffee, then went out on the … Continue reading →

keeping on

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Morning Knits

Well, I thought I should update this. We sealed our fate for what WE can do when we paid the dentist for my teeth. No chance to make up past house payments. That’s so hard for me to know. Can’t … Continue reading →

Sometimes I think I must be very wicked

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Morning Knits

I know that’s not true, but the thought still comes. I don’t understand how we can try so very hard and nothing works out for us. Friends have sweet words about how everyone is struggling and it will work out … Continue reading →

Framing

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Morning Knits

It’s turned into a tough month. Who could have known that 3 days of work would cancel? Or that my tooth would act up? Why do all the things I love about the fall have to feel framed in this … Continue reading →

Yesterday was our trivia tournament. We did well, had a good team, but didn’t pull out THE win. The last question was tricky. Put down up to 20 answers, 2 pts for each right answer, 2 points subtracted for each … Continue reading →
