An Angel's Story - Jeremiah 29:11

**I actually just sent this out to my Good Morning Girls group (I know, it should be renamed Good Whenever Girls group) and decided I wanted to share it on here too.**

I'm a big fan of Max Lucado's writing. I discovered him in high school while at a Bible study that my friend used to have at his house every week. He read a story from one of Lucado's books and I instantly fell in love. I've been reading them since. And that includes his Christmas books. I used to read them every Christmas season. But I haven't read them for the last few years. I decided I wanted to read them this year. I'm sitting here reading An Angel's Story and Jeremiah 29:11 came to mind.


"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

It came to mind because I read this:

"I could not comprehend God's plan, but my understanding is not essential. My obedience was." (An Angel's Story)

Isn't that how most of God's plans work? We don't understand what God's doing. But that's not really the point. The point is that we obey Him so that His plans to be fulfilled. Because let's face it, His plans are WAY better than our own.

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?
