"Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high. Who humbleth himself to behold
the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord." - Psalm 113:5,6,9

Homemade, Handmade

We are doing well here in the Johnson household. I praise the Lord for His blessings. Malachi is now walking quickly from room to room at our house. I'm sure he'll be running before long. One of our greatest delights these days is when he brings us a book to read him. Who can resist stopping right there to grant his request? We also love to see him spontaneously copy our actions. You should have seen him today pretend that he was sneezing. So funny!

Recently I reviewed the passage about the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31. For a long time I have thought that I would like to learn how to crochet so that I, like the virtuous woman, could keep my hands busy making something useful. My friend Lisa agreed to teach me the other day and then I picked up a beginner's book at a thrift store today. I look forward to seeing what I can create! Ally, if you're reading this, thanks again for the crocheted bibs you made Malachi. I love them and hope that sometime I can make something as useful and nice as them. :)

I have sold some more of my soap lately. Soon I plan to post some pictures and descriptions of what bars I have to offer. For now, I think that I have pretty much settled on the name Simply Soap by Shannon. If you have any ideas for a better name, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!

"Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."

Snowing Again!




Our New Year has gotten off to a great start. Today it is snowing so beautifully. This makes the second time already this winter for us to have snow accumulation, which is a big deal here! I'm looking forward to seeing Mike in a few minutes because they he is coming home from work. They decided to close Chick-fil-A today due to the snow. Maybe we will build a snowman! I can't wait to take Malachi out to play in it. If it is snowing where you are today, I hope you enjoy it too!

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." - Isaiah 1:18
