Welcome, and thank you for visiting my site. I'm Callie, the maker of KNOT ALONE Yarn Creations.  I really enjoy creativity and all things yarn, so I've created this space to share some of my creations and why I love them.  I am a follower of Jesus, servant in ministry, and mom of two incredible young men.  The journey of my life has been much different than I dreamed or expected it to be.  I've experienced moments of extreme joy, but I've also experienced moments of devastating heartache and loss.  Building a life as a single mom can often times leave you feeling disoriented and alone. It's a road that NO ONE chooses to travel, but it's a road where you discover reality, your true self, and what's really important in life. Amidst the crisis-trauma-uncertainty-confusion-fear-adversity-exhaustion-dysfunction-pain-loneliness-tears-anxiety ... there's one Truth that has kept me breathing each day ... God is still with me.  No matter what happens, I'm not alone. Now don't get me wrong, there are many days I feel very alone.  But even when I feel alone, the Truth is I'm not.  Because Jesus is my Savior, then Psalm 23:4 is true for me: "I will fear no evil, for you are with me."  That reminds me I have hope.  It's comfort in the middle of the storm. I am very fortunate to have a strong support system of safe people who love and accept me and point me to God's promises, like this, continually. Nevertheless, I sometimes forget and spiral down the dizzy staircase of negative thoughts and emotions.  When I'm by myself or get in my head, I get overwhelmed with circumstances and suddenly forget it all. I know that might sound ridiculous, but it happens. So I need self-reminders, frequently. Cue -- KNOT ALONE.  I decided to make and use these poms as reminders to myself that Psalm 23:4 is absolute Truth and it's true for me. I am NOT alone. Fact. Reality. God promises to be with me so I don't have to fear evil, the future, or anything else. I have lived through many situations that I thought would be impossible to survive.  I thought they would literally end my life.  But I'm still breathing.  And I believe that is solely because God is with me and keeps providing a path for me each day.  These little fuzzy poms are a way for me to speak that Truth back to myself.  "You are not alone, Callie...God is still with you".  I've learned that speaking Truth to myself is necessary - in addition to leaning on my faithful support system - in order for me to be healthy. I haven't mastered this, but I'm working on it and want to share what I've learned. So.....if you, or someone you know, needs to be reminded of this Truth this Christmas, it would be my honor to make you a pom. Then, as well as making your tree or gifts more festive, I pray it will remind you that you are not alone. Whatever you are facing, God knows you best, He loves you most, and He wants to walk with you through each joy and heartache.  Let it also remind you that you aren't the only one who feels alone sometimes.  I get it, and many others get it. But we have choices....continue to waller in the dark pit of loneliness or choose to recognize there's bright hope in God's promise to "be with us".  I choose hope. Even when I can't feel it. God hasn't exited the building, even if everyone else in your life has. God still has good plans for your life, even if the plans you dreamed have all fallen apart. God can take broken shattered ashes and make them into something beautiful. My best friend recently reminded me of the saying, "Sometimes in the winds of change you find your true direction."  When I stop to look back at all the changes and all that God has brought my boys and I through on this road, I'm overwhelmed with thankfulness. We are stronger and healthier having walked this hard road, and we are finding our "true direction". If you are walking a similar road and need someone to talk with about it, I'm in. Please send me a message on the contact page. Thank you again for visiting my little corner of the world. And please remember --- you're KNOT ALONE.
