Ready or Not, Here I Go Blogging Again!

Happy weekend, blogger-land fans! How was everyone's week?  Mine definitely has been a roller-coaster ride and sometimes I think I am so nauseated by ups and downs that I would like to get off, please!! Ever feel like this?

But, I'm still hanging in there!
If you are new to this blog, you may want to read my story in the section above this post, named "More About My Poll."
I had been waiting till we had confirmed that our current house situation would go through to make a decision, but alas, it is not meant to be at this time. There have been more surprises in this house sale than what's under the tree at Christmastime! Currently, we are back to square one in waiting for a buyer.  Before this had happened, I got so excited at the thought of creating my new blog, because it will be mostly written with the lake cottage life in mind. And even though we aren't there yet, our current place of residence still has quite a 'cottage' feel to it. Also, being just a few short miles away from several lakes makes taking photos and writing about where I hope someday we will be, so I have decided to go ahead and start writing in my new blog. But first, the name...

Well, the votes were counted and it looks like we have a winner, not by far, though.  There was a wide variety of votes, with every name option, except 2, having at least 1 vote. First and second choices were close, though.

Do you want to know the name of my new blog?

Well, just hop on over to this link HERE.

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

Image
  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
