Hey Loves!
Do you have a gift or talent that your wondering about how it's supposed to be used? Then, you're not alone.
For a while, I struggled with how to use my sewing gift. One day while reading, I ran across this scripture:
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10 NIV
It immediately made me think about Shundra Powe Davis and Hands That Give.
Our gifts are meant to be used to bless others. Each year Shundra chooses a charity and asks the sewing community for handmade items for the charity. I missed the opportunity to participate last year, but wasn't going to miss it this year. This year we were asked to sew items for children in a group home.
Here's my contribution:
I had sew much fun searching for patterns for boys and my stash for the right fabrics. I felt so gratified when I was done. I really felt good about my makes. I felt even better knowing it was going to someone who needed it.
If you're getting burned out or just not sure what to do with your gift, use it to help someone. It'll give you purpose and rekindle your love for the gift.
Until next time, Smooches!
