My Quilting Journey

I categorize myself as a history & art enthusiast. I’ve always been intrigued with the beauty and design of quilts never imagining that I too would create fiber art that is eye catching and tells a story. As a retiree I have enthusiastically embraced this amazing art and love being expressive and creative with vibrant fabrics ( especially african fabrics, batiks, notions, photography, beads, cowrie shells, twine etc.) and whatever captures my imagination! I appreciate my friends, family and loved ones that have rallied around me-spurring my creative energy! I’ll happily share my creations with you hoping you’ll also feel inspired also!

BLESSED QUOTES

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller

“Once you choose hope, anything's possible.”
—Christopher Reeve (1952-2004), actor, producer, director, and writer; best known for his role as Superman.

ATTITUDE

"A positive attitude is perhaps more important at home than anywhere else. As spouses and parents, one of our most vital roles is to help those we love feel good about themselves." -- Keith Harrell"

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions." -- Stephen Covey"

…look at that word blame. It's just a coincidence that the last two letters spell the word me. But that coincidence is worth thinking about. Other people or unfortunate circumstances may have caused you to feel pain, but only you control whether you allow that pain to go on. If you want those feelings to go away, you have to say: 'It's up to me.'" -- Arthur Freeman"

Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be." -- Harvey Mackay

“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), American civil rights leader

An Outstanding Devotional!

Revel in the knowledge that you are secure in God’s hands.

The Blessedness of Believing
A Devotional Journey of Life’s Lesson’s and God’s Promises by Linda Mose Meadows (Tate Publishing 2007)

This outstanding devotional is expressly written with a heart that seeks after the righteousness of God with uplifting personal sentiments and prayers, referencing Holy Scripture, encouraging lyrics and deep expressions of faith. These reflections are written for your daily devotional time and to compliment your bible study.

On back page of book cover is written:

“There are occasions when you have the opportunity to stop for a moment, read a heartfelt devotional, ponder over the words, then reflect on your own personal spiritual and emotional journey, no matter how rugged and connect with the writer’s sentiments; that all along God never abandons his own! Linda Mose Meadows has written a series of devotionals: The Blessedness of Believing A Devotional Journey of Life’s Lesson’s and God’s Promises which allows you to embrace and own your life’s lessons and connect to the truth of God’s promises, as your soul relishes that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.”

SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGS

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8

This new great awakening is shaking up tradition, religion and stagnant thinking. It’s a new harvest, a new spiritual growth that is void of ecumenical and denominational alliances. It celebrates humanity, the divine in each of us and understands that our life’s call and purpose are bigger than material gain and self centeredness. It’s necessary and urgent and calls us to usher in the divine and seek God’s wisdom for making this world a better place-it’s an Awakening and it’s time to share our passions and live our best lives. The Blessedness of Believing Blog is celebrating trailblazers and pace setters who are passing the baton to you and me for creating better today’s and power filled tomorrows!

At any one time, we’re either in a trial, coming out of one or on our way into one. These are the wildernesses of life. Basically, they are those periods of time when we feel alone, discomforted, and without help or recourse. However, much can be learned from those wilderness experiences because they come to propel us into the place we are destined to go. Learning how to proceed through them and gleaning what is to be obtained can produce spiritual growth.

Lessons From the Wilderness is about the various trials and challenges everyone encounters in a lifetime. It teaches how to embrace them without undue stress and worry, but rather with courage, confidence, anticipation, and yes, even joy.

Dr. Barbara Huddleston-Mattai is an ordained Evangelist at the New Mt. Ararat Temple of Prayer in Buffalo, NY. She is also a Professor at Buffalo State. She is married to Dr. P. Rudy Mattai. They have three sons: David, Stephen and Joshua
