2019 is Fast Approaching

Hello, friends!  I am absolutely ready for new beginnings. 2018 has really done a number on me!  There have been struggles on so many avenues. But God is good. He has walked beside me and with me every step of the way.
This picture does not really show the magnitude of the destruction we have from Hurricane Michael 
But our way of life has changed. It will be a long time before anything is normal here. 
SO......I have been thinking and praying about how I can focus where God wants me. The WORD I keeping “seeing” is SHINE !  2Corinthians 4:6 says
For God, who said “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 

I want His light to shine in my heart. So each day I am going to ask Him to allow me to shine for His glory. I know I have to be thoughtful and intentional as I strive to let His light shine in me and through me. 

Oh, and I’m not waiting for January 1 to start SHINING!  I’m going to begin this journey today. 
What about you? Are you going to pick a word or phrase or maybe a scripture to be your daily focus? Will you share your plan of action to encourage us?

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...
