The Blue of the Sky is Bigger than the Clouds.

Its almost Valentines Day. What another week it has been. The company my husband worked for was sold to a competitor. This week was the week when they tell you if you made the cut. Ron did, thankfully.  I have to tell you my little story about how the Lord works when you don't even know.

    Two years ago, the company Ron worked for was bought by a bigger company. During the merger process he watched a lot of people be let go. He had applied for a job with the bigger company and a smaller one, and got offers from both. He actually worked for the bigger company for a week before he got the final offer from the smaller company, a better offer, which he took. Last year, the bigger company bought the smaller company and he had to go through it again. Yesterday, the bigger company called to tell him he had a job. They had never filled the position he had for that week, and he back-filled that same position. The position he left was still open all that time. Just writing it out makes my head still feel weird.

There is this verse in Habakkuk 1:5. I know most people don't read much devotional stuff from there but it happens to be one of my favorite books. Because Habakkuk asks God three questions and God answers him. So I love that. Here is my verse.

 "The Lord replied, Look around at the nations; Look and be amazed!For I am doing something in your own day something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it"
 

Lots of very hard things have gone on, but I am still amazed at how God continues to work in our lives.

I wanted to share this latest thing that happened. Really, if I posted the stuff that goes on every day or week, I don't know if my blogger friends would believe it either. 

So the reason for this post is its almost Valentines Day and I love making Valentines rugs and I wanted to post some. 

When I was going to do our challenge rug, which I think today was the day. I thought I was going to use these reds for that. Not remembering I had used the reds for this rug. It wasn't till I dug this out, I thought, oh, that is where all of my red went.
 

I had to dig through my stash to find different reds. Its okay though, it was good to see how well my de-stashing is going. I still have to many worms but its as not as bad as it used to be. Though I don't think I will ever win that battle. 

This one is on my coffee table now. I made it one year when I wanted a rectangle for said rug. It always makes me happy when I can get my heart rugs out. 

This is a Cammie Bruce rug. I think I have done this rug twice. I also did it in blue. I enjoy this size rug. I can hook them really fast. Or at least I used to be able to until you know, my life for the last six years has been nuts. 

 We are going to finish up working in our last flowerbed and trim trees tomorrow. To me that is my favorite kind of romance. Working together and getting things done. 

I really like this verse when it comes to Valentines Day, "Love suffers long and is kind." 1 Corinthians 13:4 It always says it best for me. I hope your day is lovely, we will have our Presidents Day storm starting on Monday. We always get one big storm this time of year. Roads get closed, the mountains are covered in snow, the wind blows and its just lovely. Then March comes and its spring for us. 

Have a lovely week,
