My God is beyond Awesome! I have a sewing machine in the States, but could not bring it with us. In the states I did not sew many clothes (except some skirts and bloomers for the girls)for we had a nice, cheap thrift store on every corner. But, here, there are no places to get clothes for really cheap. We've been needing and wanting a sewing machine, and the girls are at the age to want to learn to sew, but we didn't have the money to buy a sewing machine for us here. Then one day I got an email saying that Missions Flight International (MFI) was wanting to donate a sewing machine to me for FREE!!! Now, this is not just any sewing machine...this one is made by "VIKING HUSQVARNA" and normally costs TONS OF MONEY and does everything but wash dishes....but it may do that if I can find the right button. =) It is soooo fancy and advanced, I'm going to have to read the instruction booklet to learn how to turn it on. ;-) It is one AMAZING sewing machine! (This is one of the things that the TLC team brought me from Florida!) It embroiders things too. The girls and I are really looking forward to buying some material and making some clothes, doll clothes, etc. I would have been happy to have a simple sewing machine, but God gave me a CADILLAC. PRAISE THE LORD for giving me MORE THAN THE DESIRES of my heart...and may He richly bless MFI (and Harold and Kayla =) for their kindness to me.
~The thing I'm leaning my arm on has all of the attachments to embroidery with. Kimberly is holding a big hoop that you can put around your material to keep it in place, while the machine embroiderys in the middle of the material. The sewing machine is behind Sarah to the right, it's cover is to the left! The sewing machine has a computer on it too. WOW!!!~

Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart-Thank the Lord & Harold & Kayla. What a wonderful gift for you girls. Mom Dickinson-with love.
WOW that looks awesome! So glad that you can teach your girls to sew. I wish I could, maybe I can get Grandma Jowers to teach Kiana. :-) Happy Sewing! Waiting to see some finished products. Love you all!
That awesome Heather. I’m so glad you got a sewing machine. Your the best.

That is so wonderful for you! The Lord takes care of you in many ways! I love to hear these testimonies of God's faithfullness!
Isn't it wonderful that God sees and knows your needs no matter where you are in the world? Like the song says, "If you're faithful to the faith, God is faithful to the Faithful." You all are definately faithful people.
Blessings

Heather, what a WONDERFUL gift the Father has lavished on you and your family today! My dad runs a sew & vac store, and you are right...that's a very exspensive machine. Have a ball using it and we look forward to seeing your first completed project!

Heather that is so cool, you are going to have so much fun learning to sew on your new machine. It looks really cool would love to come and help you figure it out.
I have to work this weekend so that will not work, but maybe next week end I could come over and help lol. ;)
Have fun with it!
love amy
Heather, I am so happy for you! It's funny how different people are! I look at the little simple machine we have and stand back in wonder as my HUSBAND operates it!! He has done way more with those machines than I have since he used to work in a waterbed sheet factory! I just try not to catch my fingers under the needle!!!
OH! How awesome is our God! That is great to see you being so blessed! You are wonderful and I am very happy for you!!! Praise the Lord for his abundant blessings! I had lots of people (my mom, Grandma, Aunt) try to teach me to sew growing up. I never had the want to sit there long enough to do it. But, DeAnna has Granny Jowers to teach her and she loves it! And has a very natural ability for it. It is so nice that you will be able to teach your girls!!! Lots of Love and Prayers, Michelle J
I wish I could sew! I will learn one of these days, Lord willing! God is so good!
PRAISE THE LORD! I'm so glad that Jesus gave you a sewing machine. I love to sew and have sewed a lot, but give me a machine that just goes forward and backwards these days. My sewing machine does a bunch of neat things, but I've never tried them, not even when I was making my daughter's wedding dress, her 2 bridesmaids dresses and the 2 flower girls dresses. Each one of those dresses was fully lined, too. God surely helped me because I did it while working full time. I'm not bragging, just shaking my head in amazement myself. I did take 2 days off work as the wedding got nearer--called my boss and told him I had sewing to do! :) He was great about it. I've been retired for 4 years now, and haven't sewed a thing, but thinking about it inspires me to want to sew again...maybe something for my two granddaughters.
