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.

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
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

Spiritual Fervor

  We go through our daily routines,  but something is missing. Maybe d uring a crisis or a major life change....            or simply spending less and less time on spiritual pursuits. ...these c an cause us to enter a time in life                          when there's just no enthusiasm or spark. Ha ve you ever been the re before? I have!! There are days when it is difficult to find the drive and zest, even when I know I have the greatest reason to be zealous . Lacking zeal or losing spiritual fervor is som ething that the believer needs to be aware of as he /she progresses in one's spiritual life.  As we grow in our knowledge of Biblical truths and the things of God it becomes quite familiar and the wonder of first discovery can diminish over the years. It is here that spiritual boredom can set in.  Zeal is a fruit of deeply abiding in the One Who is Life! It is different than mere excitement, which happens mostly outwardly and at the surfa
