You're More Courageous Than You Know...

**My devotion for today.**

You've got courage.

I know, it sounds like the stuff that happens in battles, on mountains, to someone else.

But then Paul says,

"Take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as He said." (Acts 27:25)

I think of you staring at the ceiling in the night whispering a prayer.

I think of you walking down the hospital corridor holding on to hope.

I think of you in the middle of the everyday...raising kids, going to work, pressing on when you want to give up.

The reason you do?

Because somehow you find a way to keep believing God too.

That's courage.

And that is enough.

So lean in and listen to this...

You're more courageous than you know...

and the One Who Loves You truly does know.

He sees, understands, and will be with you all the way

(and I'll be praying you through too).

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?
