The Holy Spirit spoke...but I missed it.

I took the second day off of work to just rest and get well. I have no voice. NO VOICE. I got up in the middle of the night and was running a slight fever so I called in for a sub and went back to bed.

Around noon, I went up to my craft room and attempted to clean it up a little. I have been working like crazy on the weekends finishing the 8 swaps for the paper workshops/Mary Engelbreit/Vendor Faire/Silver Bella 2008! Oh...the money, I've spent, the glue I've poured, the glitter I've thrown.

Anyway...something caught my eye on the board that I work on. I am not even believing this.......look for yourself.






These dots were put here by me about 3 weeks ago. I was using a 6" border stamp on some cards I was working on and these are the excess dots. Is it just a little creepy that there are 3?


I wonder if the Holy Spirit had flown by me saying, "Look my child. This is what you will see everytime you see your son. Grow to love these. Nurture them because oh, they are a part of him. A very permanent part of him."

Only did you read the part about 3 WEEKS AGO? Of course, 3 weeks ago, they were just 3 dots from a stamp. You don't think that's where Will got the idea, do you? He does come in to visit me when I'm crafting as I'm just across the hall from his room. I better be careful what I stamp.

By the way, I just finished reading this book....



Without ruining it for you, a man is visited by God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They came to visit him in the form of human beings...even a female or two. Not ruining it for you. While parts are a little unbelievable, it was well written and kept my interest. I would love to believe that the heaven they describe is the real deal. In fact, I am going to believe it. The part I love is the way God talks about loving his children...all of his children...no mattter what they have done. Works for me in more ways than one. I hope God loves me no matter what I have done as I love my children with or without tatoos.

And the Holy Spirit really does speak to us. But we don't hear it with our human ears. Rather he speaks to us on craft boards and such.
