Running

@Jynx my unit yes

@avant-garde gladness. Home is good.

You find music helpful to keep you tethered? Or you could tell me about what you might do tomorrow?

Got about halfa left just so you know, don't want my departure to be abrupt for you 💜

@Jynx

I have church tomorrow, I don't hate church, I find it frustrating but I don't hate it. We have communion tomorrow, means more people, but also more people who I get along with. I won't wear a dress, I'll wear my purple butterfly shirt, people comment on that shirt but I just like that it's purple.

We have a church meeting tomorrow too.

Then I get to go over to my elders house and talk through how I'm going and any theological issues I'm butting heads with.

Then another church service

Then home.

I find hymns help keep me tethered, @tyme and I talk hymns. My first go to hymn is typically 'be thou my vision'

@avant-garde a super busy day, but I hope it's a fulfilling one, sounds like it could just be!!

Aww cute! I love purple. I have a skirt that's a gorgeous UV purple, covered in little carnivorous plants (from Little Shop of Horrors!), but I just don't wear skirts anymore. Might have to harvest the fabric haha. I can show you some time if you like.

I don't know any hymns 🫣 but I do adore singing. But I've found the hymn you mentioned and have popped it on in the background. If you're singing it too, it's like another little resonance of connection in the universe, and that makes me happy 😊

@Jynx

Church is a bit hit and miss for me, communion is triggering, sermons can be triggering, being told how to feel, think or act is triggering (a number of people do that).

It's fairly simple to turn skirts into bags

• Sew the bottom together
• Either use the belt loops or a couple of grommets to make holes for handles

Mm I can imagine @avant-garde - hope tomorrow is an easier one. May god let your path stray downhill for a time 🤞

Oooooh that's such a good idea!! You got all my creative energy ignited, thank you!

I am off for tonight, I am sending you allllll da squishy hugs, and will catch you next week 💜

Hey @avant-garde ,

I attended a funeral last week. I requested the hymn, When peace like a river. This was the person's favourite song. He was in his 90s when he passed away. When I visited him in the nursing home, he didn't respond much, but when I sang him that song, the hummed along. It was pretty amazing.

@tyme

It is well with my soul... I like that one too... I've been finding that wherever I am when I get overwhelmed I just start softly singing hymns...

Yes, so that song is very close to my heart. It means a lot, especially when things are tough @avant-garde

My sister wants me to make a few texts using the cricut I have. I haven't decided on the verses thought. These are to give away a gifts.

*gives @tyme a big squishy hug*

I personally like verse 3, my sin being nailed to the cross, but I like the whole song!
