BE grateFUL...

It has been over 3 months since I have written on this blog! I have done some writing on Coffee Cup Corner, but not too much there either! Life happens! The busyness eats up time & then when I am not busy, I get so lazy... not wanting to do anything!

I've been thinking a lot lately about where I was a year ago... our house was sold, we were living in temporary housing, not knowing where our next move would be, but believing God did & He was faithful to complete what He had started!

As I sit here in our home, watching the birds eat on the feeder outside the window, overlooking the snow covered 10 acres of woods, snow gently falling... my HEART is so full of grateFULness!

I did get a little creative project done over the weekend...

I found these banner kits at Merchandise Outlet. They came with 5 chip board pieces for $1... I added my own letters, DSP, & embellishments!

A year ago was one of the hardest times of my life, but I am so thankful for it, because it brought us to where we are now... God has done abundantly, greater than we could have imagined! And He still is! I am overwhelmed by the doors He has opened & the people He has brought into our life! I know I still limit Him in my life so much, but each day I am growing & learning... and His mercies are new every day! (Lamentations 3:23)

"Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. By this power He can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine." ~ Ephesians 3:20

The Best Things in Life...

It is Friday!!! It has been a productive week... I stayed home all week! No road running... that is until today! Going with my hubby to Ludington to the county fair! WooHoo! And then to a concert/outreach some friends of ours are doing at "Friday Night Live" in Ludington!

I just had a small melt-down... when those ghosts from your past try to make you feel less than!  I am thankful I have my best friend, aka my hubby, who will listen to me & help me see the truth!  It was a great reminder that I am called to do my assignment... not envy someone else's assignment!  We all have those things we are called to by God... we are all different, so our assignments are all different too! I just need to soak in the place God has me right now! Patience... Preparation... Perseverance... which all is a part of Purpose!

So I will share a card I was inspired to make by a store bought card I got for my birthday:

I am going to spend my day being grateFUL for the best "things" in life that God has placed before me today!
