It was inevitable

The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed,
  a stronghold in times of trouble.
And those who know your name put their trust in you,
  for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

 Psalm 9 :9-10

So I officially fail at routine. which is only to be expected, really. Hit snooze this morning and slept till 8. And I'm fully aware that I'm going to continue to fail at being disciplined, especially when tired and unmotivated. What a great comfort that we trust in God who is never exhausted and who never fails in his grace and mercy. 

Tidying up

Ok, so Christmas is over. And as my digestive system finishes dealing with the remains of a quite extravagant influx of food, I'm looking forward to getting back into some semblance of routine. I know the week between Christmas and new year is hardly the best time to get a routine established but I just can't stand another day of things being all over the place. Life will continue to be messy but I'd like to at least get one corner of it tidied up, even if it's only for a short time. So I've begun with blogging. Obviously. And Lord willing, tomorrow morning I'll be rejoining the 6am club as it's sole member and getting up early to read my Bible. My sugar-induced headache just throbbed angrily at the thought. 

I'm leaving you with some photos as requested by Chlotaire. First sewing mission accomplished. Voila!
