January 18

After the sermon at church this morning, our pastor invited a woman from a local pregnancy resource center up to share about her ministry.

And I actually got excited hearing about the organization's mission to support pregnant mothers and new parents in our area. 

I visited their table following the service and chatted some with the representatives. I felt bubbles of inspiration floating to the surface of my chest as I learned that yes, they need baby blankets. It felt like God was telling me "your talent is not without purpose; what you create can and will be used if you provide it to them!"

Now I didn't rush home and start a baby blanket (because I'm still wrestling with the strawberry sweater's sleeves and know that if I put it down, it'll stay down for months), but I'll get to it soon because I can feel the call to do so. And given that I find myself with significantly more time on my hands than was the case for a long while, I am grateful for that call.
