Epic fail!

Wow! So I totally failed at the daily giving thanks blogging thing. Not because I'm not thankful but just because. I am so thankful for so many things! So let's see if I can list some here: (and in no particular order)
1. My life - waking up every day
2. Peace that passes all understanding
3. My fun family of five
4. My extended family and time with them
5. Coffee with my fave creamers
6. Holidays and decorating and all things Christmas
7. Warm blankets and fireplaces
8. My church family!
9. God's calling and anointing
10. Kid messes (I will miss them someday)
11. God's provision in every area
12. Lessons learned (some easier than others)
13. Technology
14. Healthy children
15. Ability to make choices
16. My home
17. My partner, husband, friend, and love
18. Shopping (shallow much?)
19. Friends who get me
20. The opportunity to paint/write/create
21. My washer and dryer
22. Reliable transportation
23. Freedom
24. Salvation and the promises that accompany
25. Memories
26. A little girl who loves her mommy
27. Boys that will unload the dishwasher and vacuum
28. Chocolate
29. The word of God
30. Second, third, fourth chances. . .

Here's to another year of many things to be thankful for!!

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms. They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby.

What in the world is going on?!

Ok, so I haven't written a blog post in forever.  And there have been a few things going on in my world, so I thought it was high time to catch you up. Where do I start? Highlights: - Church building is up for sale (lots of interested parties), any day now - Looking for acreage for church but most affordable in size we need are FAR away from Spring - Let's move the church 30 miles away! Willis, TX here we come! - Laid off from job of 15 years, to throw a kink in the mix - Let's move our family first so we can 'make it home'! - But first, Christmas holidays and all the fun! - Look for rentals, find a rental house, get approved and register kids for new schools in less than a week. - Move family into beautiful, weird rental house near the lake and start taxi mom life. - Work on painting and fixing up house to put on the market, done (multiple showings every day), also any day now - Kid #1 makes baseball team, kid #2 is playing golf and has already played in...
