Chapter 7

An electrician cracked Sarah’s office door and stuck his head in. “Miss, the other contractor is tied up and won’t make it out here until around six.”

Sarah sagged in her chair. It was the third time this week. She rubbed the bicep of her right arm, knowing that it wouldn’t relieve the symptoms. Six really meant seven, or not at all. On Wednesday night, she’d waited for a carpet person to come and measure the room. At seven, he’d finally called and canceled.

At least today she was smart enough to bring along her quilt blocks and a can of soup. She didn’t know if it was acceptable or not to work on her project in the office, but she had to have something to do.

Sarah shook out the sewing supplies from her tote onto her desk then dropped her bag to the floor. For the millionth time, she mulled over what Caroline had said in class. Sarah had ripped the sentence apart and sewn it together so many ways, but the end result always seemed the same—Caroline saw through her where Mark was concerned. Maybe Mark mentioned something to Caroline?

Tired from the long working hours of the last three days, Sarah wished she could rest her head on her desk while she waited, but that would be unprofessional. Yet she knew a quick nap would do her a world of good since her MS had deadened her right bicep just after noon.

As Sarah struggled to thread her needle, she reminded herself that, like Job, she must take the bad—in this case long hours and the effects from MS—from the Lord, as well as the good.

At least the construction project filled her working hours and then some. The last two days, she’d played intermediary between the building managers, the construction people, and the new tenants. It was impossible to keep everyone happy, but she was trying.

Sarah wiggled her fingers, attempting to remove the frozen feeling from her right arm. After several attempts she managed to push the thread through the small needle eye. Her hand sewing would be difficult tonight. She pushed the needle into the fabric, trying to use the fingers of her left hand to guide the implement back up and into the material.

“Ouch!” Having poked herself with the needle, Sarah rubbed the tip of her middle finger with her thumb. She glanced at the clock. She really wanted to stop at the quilt shop tonight to practice sewing and see Mark. She’d almost called him earlier to see if she could bring him something for dinner. However, because of her arm tingling, she doubted she could guide the fabric through the machine any better than she could hand sew.

Sarah tried another way to control the needle, but it was no use. She could barely feel it between her fingers, let alone guide it into her fabric.

Ashley breezed in from the hallway. “What are you still doing here?”

“Waiting on a construction person so they can give me a bid for the remodel.
