Happy New Year!

I have spent a little time tonight reflecting on testimonies of my daughter, my husband, and my own.  God has done very real, and very powerful things in my home.  I have made a practice of writing them down in detail.  I also write a shorter version of them in my Bible.  I am so glad that I have, because I really need reminders.  I love seeing the writing and marks all over my Bible.


2010 was one of the most intense years of my life.  2011 was a rest from that.  Of course I have no idea what 2012 will hold, but I know the God who holds me. He is good!  I know that the ground that was tilled in 2010, allowed for the planting of seeds in 2011, that will spring forth growth in 2012.

I will be thankful for His presence, and keep trusting Him.  Happy New Year!

My Mom's Birthday

Yesterday would have been my mom's 57th birthday.  In April it will be 12 years since she passed away. SweetHeart wore beautiful blue butterfly earrings for the special day.  I find it so sweet that she likes to remember her Grandma who she has never met.  I look forward to their meeting.
