Celebrating 74 subscribers
to my
Never Give Up Stories Newsletter
in only three months!
Happy New Year!
How are those New Year's resolutions coming? I didn't even try this year. Doesn't mean I don't have tasks I'd like to get done...I just have chosen a different way to set this goal. I will be selecting One-Word. Scroll down to the last post to see how this works.
Starting a new year is like opening a gift. Yah never know what is going to be inside. I always hope for something amazing. Don't you?
This year is no different.
Top. Top. Top on my to-do list is seeing God's world.
What travels are on my docket for this year? Eeeeeee, I am excited to say:
San Jose, California (I have never been to California! I'm attending a writer's conference),
Italy (oh, this is going to be a-mazing), and
Florida (my daughter is getting married).
If God wants to squeeze in a few more places--I am totally on board!

Father gave me a word for 2015: FORWARD. and boy-o-boy did i move forward. shift, change—growth! my word for 2016 is INHABIT, and as i stood on my porch last night, shortlyy after midnight (wrapped in a fuzzy blanket) i tangibly felt the crackle of newness in my spirit.
looks like you've got a fanTAStic year this year, Mary!! enjoy and savor every minute of it!

Also if I were to choose one word for the year it would be Faith. I've had that whispered in my ears for a few days so I think God is telling me something :-) Now to have Him show me what this will mean over the course of the year, I'm excited!

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Truly these were special people in your life. May God grant yu peace and joy filled memories
You've chosen a wonderful word for your one-word. I can't wait to see how this word will impact your life the year.
AND congrats to hubby for his new job!!
I had quite a learning curve in tackling the God Loves Kids link. Kinda had to invent the wheel..but it works now. You can put your name in again and add this to your rafflecopter count. I've also set it up so you can enter more than once in this category.

Also, when I mentioned my hubbies job, it isn't as if he didn't have one....it's just the one he was in for 6 years was becoming quite unbearable. So glad God answered our prayers for a new one in the right timing & with the perfect job. God is so good at providing what we need & when we need it the most. But I can tell you, it really tested my faith. Maybe that's why He whispered that in my ear, I need to stretch my faith more. Scary thought, though, at least for me. :-\ Almost like praying for patience (which I've learned NOT to do, lol), seems He'll put you in situations where it will stretch you in that area. I have to remember it's for my good & builds Godly character! Which is always my prayer for a new year, to be open to God's will and way in my life everyday. If that means He will stretch me beyond my comfort zone, so be it. I just have to trust that He has it all under control :-)
Blessings on the New Year, Mary, may you let the light of Christ shine in your heart to others always!
Blessings on you, too, Trixi.
I am so thankful for my new husband, I married for the first time in April at the age of 41!

After the past few years, I just want to really focus on remembering that everything (especially me and my circumstances) is held in God's hands. I don't have to be in control and I don't have to understand everything that's going on and why it's happening. He's holding me and it's going to be okay.
Thank you! I shall spoil him to the best of my abilities. Lol!
