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.

  • What a great saying! Remember it.

    I read something yesterday that really spoke to me. I share it with you today so encourage you to adapt this for yourself. It reminds me of Psalm 46:10: So whatever ones your way today, remember: Choose stillness. It will serve you well. God bless and have a great day.

  • Some really adorable DIY pumpkins for you to copy.

    These first pumpkins are made with a fuzzy fabric. It’s fun to play around with different fabrics and materials, like yarn, beads, rhinestones, etc. The orange and black pumpkin above is made by covering a styrofoam pumpkin from Dollar Tree. I used a scarf from the Dollar Tree as well. Here is the tutorial. There Read more

    Becoming wise is what Jesus commands

    Becoming wise is what Jesus commands. I include a chapter from Proverbs every day in my Bible reading. Which means I get through the book once a month. That should make me really wise, right? Not so much. At least not all the time. Like most people I have my “wise” days and my “not Read more
