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?

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him! I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday. And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots. It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25. I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small. BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find. Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29. The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00. So looks like I spent under 3.00! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Woo Hoo!

So excited that Christmas is coming! I love the atmosphere of all the love and giving. I'm in the painting mode for a Christmas craft sale I'm a part of with my new friends. (We have moved to Georgia this past summer.) Here is just the beginning.....for some reason I am all about the Snowfriends. I've made small ones and large porch sitters. The small signs and Snowfriends will look cute on your three tiered tray or on a shelf.
