Holding...

I have to thank so many of you. So many of you let me know that I was in your thoughts and prayers today and believe me, I felt it. SO THANK YOU!

Today was a much better day. But I woke up today deciding that it was going to me. I woke up and decided that I'd change my perspective on the things that happened yesterday and that I was going in to today with a different attitude than I had yesterday. I was a little unsure if this was going to work...considering my run in with a centipede this morning (if you know me, you know that those things SCARE ME TO DEATH! I'd rather be near a spider!!)...but it ended up being a pretty good day.

I know my perspective had to change. I know I had to move on past the hurt. And I'll be the first to admit that there is still some hurt but I feel differently. God gave me a peace today...an understanding really. But it's not like God did anything differently. That was there before...I just wasn't really holding on to it. And yesterday, I wasn't listening to it at all! (I can be stubborn from time to time.)

God has a plan for me (my favorite verse Jeremiah 29:11). He has a plan for me that I can't even imagine. I still have some things that are really on my mind....things that I can't seem to really get my head around...but God has something for me. No, God has somethingS for me!!! And He knows the desires of my heart. But He also knows what I'm ready for. So I just need to sit back and relax (harder to do than say most times).

There were times today when certain things came up, and I felt hurt all over again. But I know I had to take a few seconds and change how I felt...change my thoughts on it. Once I did that, I was ok. I had to tune some things out. And I imagine I was a little more quiet than I normally am (I am a talker). But I had to do what I needed to do to keep my eyes where they belonged...God's plan for me.

Like I said, I'm still hurt. I'm not "over it." And I imagine that from time to time, it's going to creep itself back up. And I'm going to need a little reminding from friends...well, probably some friends yelling at me...to get my head on straight.
It felt good today. God gave me a peace...and an understanding. And that understanding as always been there...I just haven't always taken it to heart. But God is holding me...holding me tight. And He has made promises to me that I know He will keep. He is a man of His Word! :-)
What a great feeling though...not only do I know that I am loved, adored and He believes in me, but now I feel Him holding me. Makes me speechless

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
