Where Do I Start?

I've got so many to do projects I can't decide on where to start. I want to start a new quilt. The problem is -- it's a creative process for me. I have to create it in my head first and sometimes that just takes awhile. I'm not your ordinary quilter in that I don't do patterns and such. My mother does those, but me I'm a creative quilter. You see a quilt has to have a theme and a meaning for me. I wish I had a photo of the quilt I made for Zachary when he graduated from high school. It was photos of his life, friends, family and these letters from God with wisdom and advice. He's got it on his bed now and he treasures it. I finished one for Jacob about a year ago. It's all about sharks and marine life. He loves sharks and fish. So, the dilemma for me is what do I want this quilt to say. I want to do one for me and my husband simply because I never make them for us.

My other to do item is the wedding of course. Being the mother of the groom is not near as hectic as mother of the bride. Lately, I'm a sounding board -- what do you think of this? how about here? do you know anyone who can? I'm trying my best to keep my mouth shut unless asked and even then be as diplomatic as possible and never ever push a suggestion. I'm beginning to be very thankful that I have boys! I hope they find everything they want and that they have the wedding THEY dreamed of. (Keep repeating this mantra!)

This weekend we are hosting our daughter in law to be's parents. A sorta get to know you and who is going to pay for what weekend. We've met once before so we're not totally unfamiliar with them. I hope and pray that the weekend goes smoothly and that we all can agree on things.

Lord, as busy as everything seems around me and as chaotic as our life is right now, help me to remain focused on you and allow you to be present in all that I do and say.
