A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

    Acorns keep falling on my head

    We’re at “Teeney Tiny Red Cabin” today. Hubby is laid up due to a “bike ride gone sour” ( post by that name about two weeks ago if you want to read details). So I’m cleaning up the yard. Must’ve been a bad storm as the lawn was covered with branches, twigs, etc. Have you Read more

  • From my prayer chair

    Love this from Andrew Murray. Sometimes we get discouraged when we’ve prayed for someone for a long time. Hope this encourages you if you are there today. Take courage! Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to works. Prayer alone gives work it’s worth and success. Prayer opens the way for God Read more

  • addicted to Pinterest

    11,000 pins and still counting

    I’ve been “pinning” tonight. I pin at night while watching TV because I’m an obsessive multitasker. My daughter got me hooked on PInterest four years ago this October. I could just “bean” her because I am truly addicted. Here’s what I like about PInterest: It sparks my creativity It reminds me it’s OK to “collect” a lot Read more
