More time coming!

Well, not really MORE but MORE free time, since this is my last crazy work week! Yippee! I cannot hardly wait to get my quilting UFO's out and start working on those daily, one motif daily ( I think) on the D*#m tablecloth, and work for 15-30 minutes daily on a sweater (only one at a time so I do not create UFO's in my new hobby. It is hard to believe but once you try it you will see that just 20 minutes daily really does add up to a finished project! It is incredible and God is great to give me these gifts and the time to do them.

Also, which will be a priority, I will start walking each AM and PM, only 20 minutes each time but that will help me (heath wise) and the dog (who loves walking but will only get to go on the evening walk). This week, so far, has been a preview of what's to come, since we have not had to leave the house till 8:30 each day I have 2-3 hours from the time I get up before we have to leave to do things! Wow! I love that and plan to make the most of it. May actually get to finish the Bible in a year plan I have started several times but gave up... Anyone want to do that with me?

Well, onto work.

Keep stitchin', walkin', prayin', and lovin' others,

Shannon

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Down!

We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you’ve known.

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Let’s be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
We’ll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we’ve lost,
And the lives we’ve reclaimed.

Go!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me down, down, down, down, down!
