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.

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

    Pictures of my sweet cabin bedroom. Check them out!

    I told you I would show you pictures of our cabin bedroom. This is the only brand-new room I’ve ever had, except for the she-shed. The builder and I designed it, including the vaulted ceiling and the size and placement of the beams. The ceiling fan’s blades are beadboard. The items in the bedroom I… Read more

    Get rid of the naysayers in your life

    TABLE OF CONTENTS Naysayers should not have open access to your life. Naysayers Jesus kicked out “removed” the naysayers in Matt 10:23 because they didn’t believe He could perform a miracle. Even Jesus knew that surrounding Himself with disbelievers and skeptics could only cast a negative atmosphere here. Could He had healed the young girl… Read more

    How to manage envy and dissatisfaction, part 2.

    Envy and dissatisfaction can take the joy out of anyone’s life and make one miserable. Monday, I posted pictures of my cabin and she-shed and gave an example of how envy struck when I saw something bigger and better. Even as I write today, I am embarrassed to admit that. I have been truly blessed… Read more

  • Crying out for the children. A prayer.

    Crying out for the children. A prayer.

    Restore, rescue, revive, rekindle, words of hope and prayer. My husband and I worked in the yard all day yesterday and didn’t turn on the news till later. We were aghast as were many of you. I have no words, only a prayer. LORD, where are you? Have you hidden yourself? We cry out in… Read more

    Take a tour with me and know me better.

    Take a tour with me today. Many of you haven’t visited my home. Plus, I’ve changed things a lot since the last time I posted any pictures. Know a person best when you’ve been to their home. I’ve always thought you can’t really know a person until you visit them and see their home. Our… Read more

  • How to avoid envy and dissatisfaction

    THE CABIN My husband and I are at our “teeny-tiny red cabin”. We bought it eighteen years ago, move-in ready.  It’s adorable.  We love it.  But it was only about 500 square feet. That’s fine for the two of us but when family members come for a visit we need more space so two years ago… Read more
