2014-0101 - day one

Giraffes are beautiful!
Today is the first day of the rest of my blog...   OK, OK, OK!  It’s a little corny but it suits my personality; and it lets you know right away that this isn’t your typical blog.  I know it’s not your typical blog because I don’t know what a typical blog is supposed to look like.  I know it’s not your typical blog because I don’t have much experience with all things blog.

It’s not like I grew up thinking I want to be a blogger when I grow up; let’s face it when I was growing up who knew (except, of course, the sci-fi writers) that just about everybody would have access to a computer or a smartphone.  Who ever imagined that we would all be magically linked to some worldwide communications web?  When I was a kid, having a web in your house meant that you had spiders or that you didn’t dust often enough.  Just saying!

I really don’t know what a blogger is supposed to be, or do, or say; blogging is a brand new adventure for me.  That’s what life is all about, right?  Trying new things?  That keeps life exciting!  I hope you’ll find my blog interesting!

The wonderful world of cyberspace has many powerful tools to offer that provide useful information and it certainly makes life more interesting.  There are lots, and lots, and lots of things you can learn on the internet.  Some of them are good, and others not so good.

I know you have plenty of other cyber-places to spend your time.  I hope you will find my blog to be one of the good things in your life.

blog is a many splendored thing – I can’t tell you what this blog may become in the long run.  I expect that it will be a mixed up, many faceted, many themed, many splendored thing (much like me, hahaha).

There may be good days or bad; happy days or sad; we might laugh or share a few tears.  I might share my daily Bible Reading with you, or tell you about something I found on Pinterest, I might share a poem, or give you directions for my latest craft project.  I really can’t say what I will learn, or how much I’ll be able to share because today is just day one of this new adventure; but I hope you’ll visit my blog again…

Here are just a few reasons why – I am a Christian.  I love God because He first loved me.  Jesus Christ is my Lord and my Savior.  I want all that I think, say, or do to honor and glorify God!  I am not perfect; that’s why I need a savior.  I am a work in process; I have not arrived.  I’ve seen plenty of happiness in my life but some sorrow too.  Giraffes are beautiful.  I have lots to learn, and lots to share, and this is going to be fun.  Please join me again!

7 Ways To Make the Money Last - The Envelope System

Image
I can't be overdrawn; I still have checks left! Is there more month than money? My husband and I have a terrible time holding on to our money.  It seems like everything everywhere is on the upward trend, except our paychecks.  Those have remained steady for several years. Please don’t think I’m complaining about my job.  I am not!  I praise God every day that we have jobs, that we enjoy the work we do, and that we are able to meet our needs.  We can’t ask for more than that!  God has truly blessed us. We don’t have everything we ever wanted; but we have more than enough when it comes to basic needs.  And, if you’ve been following my blog, you know that I personally have WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH of most things (even if I can’t find all of them when I want to use them, hahaha!) Financial stress can really put a burden on us; it can make us act irrationally and do things we wouldn’t normally consider.  My husband and I spent years trying to figure out how to make e

2014-0119 - the harvest

Image
The farmer doesn’t plant the field, or endure the dog days of summer, because it is fun or because he needs some excitement in his life.  He makes his plans, plants the fields, and does his daily chores because he desires the harvest.  He desires the good part of farming…  Likewise, the good part of life, the abundance of God, is only available to us when we make our plans, do the work, and develop the good habits that lead to the desired result. Jesus Christ himself was the best teacher in The Word, and in the world, on finishing what He started.  Jesus’ example was to honor and glorify God; that was His lifes work; and He did it in all that He said and did.  John 17:4 (KJV) - I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. I would like to follow Jesus’ example. I want to honor and glorify God with my thoughts, words, and deeds.  That means that one day at a time, chore by chore, I must make the right choices to change my habits

2014-0102 - encouragement

Image
I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of my friends and family who have been so supportive.  I received many very kind words of encouragement in response to my very first ever blog post.  I do have to admit that it was fun to see those words in print knowing that they had been published to the internet!  So... now you know...  I am very easily amused , hahaha! I would like to talk to you about something God has placed on my heart today:  ENCOUR'AGEMENT , noun The act of giving courage, or confidence of success; incitement to action or to practice; incentive.   ( http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Home?word=Encourage ). Encouragement can take the form of the least little thing but it is so important to each of our lives.  A little Godly advice from a friend, a kind word from an acquaintance, or a cheerful attitude from someone we look up to helps to validate our feelings of worth, of accomplishment, and of belonging.  A smile, a touch, lifting an eyebrow, or even th
