What I learned in 2013

I had  a lot of thoughts about what I wanted today's blog to look like but as I was out walking my little friend Phoenix - God gave me a different story to tell. Sort of a year in review!


I have so much to be thankful for - a wonderful family - husband, children and grandchildren. This year we were blessed with a new addition to our family! God has truly blessed us, sometimes I have to pinch myself.


In 2013...
  • I started this blog not really knowing where to start but here I am. Then I discovered there are a lot of great blogs. You will find some of my favorites listed below.
  • I participated in my first online Bible Study with Proverbs 31 ministries and I'm signed up to participate in another - "Made to Crave". Just follow the link above to sign up & join me. I love the blog hops and the Twitter Parties!
  • I learned how to do "verse mapping" a neat little tool to help you dig deeper into the bible verses and also with your quiet time. Here's on of my verses
  • Then a few of my sister friends from church took on the 31 day blogging challenge! In the picture is my topic for the 31 days.

  • I learned a few new photography techniques
                          Creating Orbs

 
  • I took some pretty neat pictures!




 
  • And some you wish for a do over...but I have discovered these so, so pictures make great ORBS!

 
 
As we get ready to close out 2013 and welcome in 2014 - get ready to soar to new heights on eagles wings! I'm praying for God to do unbelievable and amazing things in this New Year. God is able to do abundantly more than we can ever think or imagine!  I'm believing God in 2014...How great is our God!
 
 
May you be blessed is all of God's amazing blessings and promises. His Word never fails.

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach.  Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
