Seek and Ye Shall Find

 I hate decision making. A lot. 

I'm not meaning simple decisions, like what to eat for lunch, or what to wear on any given day. I mean the big, life decisions. Like whether or not to take a certain job, for example. These kinds of decisions are so important, at least in my mind, and require so much wisdom and discernment as to know whether or not they are the right choice for your life. Not only that, as a Christian, I must determine whether or not a decision I make is the one that would be pleasing to God for my life. If you stop and think about it, it's a very daunting prospect. 

However!

It has been proven time and time again that those decisions are a lot easier to make when you seek guidance. And who better to seek guidance from than God Himself! I think sometimes we delude ourselves into thinking that God isn't concerned with our decisions (however small or large they may be). But that's not so. God is interested in every aspect of our lives, and I think it pleases Him when we seek His guidance on matters. As a matter of fact, Jesus said it fairly plainly in the book of Matthew:

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
 (Matthew 7:7-8)

How much simpler can it be? Ask for wisdom to make the right choices, and you'll receive it. Seek guidance, and it will be given to you. 

I suppose the main point I'm trying to get across with this is:
It's so comforting to know that when you know you have to make weighty decisions, that God is there, willing and waiting to offer His help and guidance. All you have to do is ask.

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

 (Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat.  I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it.  Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own.  And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here!

Winter Soldier Scarf & Semi-Pattern

Happy Friday! (And also Happy Pi Day, for those of you of the geeky persuasion!) This scarf began as one of those 'I want to make something for meeeeee' projects. I'd been buried under requests for things for others (which is nice, don't get me wrong), that it had been awhile since I was able to whip up something for myself. So one night I decided I'd stop at the store and buy myself some yarn to make myself a new scarf. Allllll for me.  I chose the colors originally thinking it would be a Thor-inspired color scheme, but once I started working I realized it was more Captain America-ish than anything. Which works just as well for me.  And so, I'm dubbing this my 'Winter Solider' scarf, in honor of the new Captain America move coming out in April! (And no, I'm not being paid to plug this movie by Marvel, I just love them is all!)   I used three colors of Caron Simply Soft Party yarn, which I'd never used before but ended up ...

Things You Can Sell to Make Some Extra Money

Are you attempting to de-clutter your home? I moved not long ago, and was amazed at the amount of "stuff" I had amassed. I donated a lot of items then, but over the past few months decided to do another round of de-cluttering. However, this time, I chose to try to sell some of my "stuff". In today's economy every little bit helps! My parents and I held a joint yard sale at their home, and we ended up doing fairly well. I f you want to get rid of clutter within your home, then selling some of your belongings is a great way for you to do this. You can make a lot of money by doing this too! Below are some items you can consider selling, in case you're in need of a starting point. Childhood Toys If you find it difficult to let go of some of your childhood toys then this is understandable. I have my own beloved keepsakes that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to part with! However, choosing to sell them could pay off. It’s always worth going through your chi...
