There are times, and I admit more times than I’d like to admit, that I feel like the devil is trying to bring me down. Trying to take away my energy to sew. Trying to tell me my work isn’t good enough or that no one wants to own a Gussy. Other times I don’t hear from the devil at all, but from God.

Showing me to keep doing what I’ve been doing. Blessing me with 299 sales {yeow!}. Blessing me with the funds to attend Blissdom 2010 in a blink of the eye.

But then, when it’s been too good for too long, it seems like I hear from the d. again. Yes. He’s so pitiful I couldn’t even type his name. That darn devil. Trying to sneak in and ruin my evening.

Telling me to be jealous of others achievements, and other ridiculous things that I don’t even want to think about anymore now that I am thinking about them :)

Be gone.

Shoo away.

You aint welcome here.

I don’t need to feel like that. I shouldn’t let those thoughts linger. I need to be reading my Bible more and feeding myself with the Word.
I need to let God into my Gussy head more so I can do what he wants me to do. Like cook, sew, and talk.

I feel a need to incorporate a good Bible verse into my Sweat Shop.


For now, this one is a good one to focus on:

Matthew 6:34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


…each day has a ton of blessings that I need to be seeing :)
