Happy New Year 2013

Well looking back over the last year, we have a lot to be thankful for. The earth didn't disappear on either predicative date, God showed everyone. We have lived through several storms and fires.
For me personally, when I look back I can see where God has been working in my life. I put in for a transfer at work, the position I originally interviewed for. Within a matter of weeks, we interviewed and hired a great nurse to replace me. I still wonder everyday when she sleeps. Then my first day of a 3 week vacation the storm hit. We were without electric for a week,spent most of the vacation money on a hotel. When the electric came back on the water heater went out. There goes more vacation money. We did go to Ohio to visit family, and had a good time. In sept the new nurse started, and I took my new position, float nurse, I floated straight to another area where a nurse left. I have been there since. God has been working on my impatience. A nurse has finally been hired and starts next monday.
I have been working on my prayer life. I pray every morning on my way to work. For the past several months I have ask God to take the desire for alcohol away from hubby. This has been done. Thank you God. During this past year we have had some bad and good times. We worked through the bad, rejoiced in the good, and Praised God through both.
This month me and hubby will be married 26 years. We are happy, and have come a long way. I thank God for giving the wisdom to not walk away. Today it is too easy to give up. We may not do much to celebrate, but that's ok. Just knowing we have beat the odds, and love each other, is enough.
Looking forward into a new year. I'm going to quit smoking and I know God will be there to help me. I am going to try to live my life more pleasing to God. I feel lead to start my next career move, but somethings have to be put in place. We have to either remodel this home, or buy another one. Then set up a nursery. What is this career move you ask. I want to become a foster mother to drug born babies. Please pray with me concerning this.
Hope all have many blessings in 2013.

sweater finished

I have finished the sweater. It looks great. It only took 4.25 skeins of yarn, so I have almost 2 skeins leftover. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.
On to my next project. I'm going to start the wedding present. I have a feeling it's going to take some time. I will start it today. I'm hoping for the best.
Well it's sunday morning, and I just finished fixing breakfast. I have to get dinner on soon. Not sure what is going to happen today. God is Good, so I'm sure it will be good.

Happy Easter

Easter 2012, woke up at 6am. I really want to get back to church, but I'm having a hard time moving. I still have to go to the store, and I'll be cleaning house this afternoon.
I hope that everyone remembers the true meaning of today. Jesus rose from the grave, to give us hope for a future beyond our comprehension. Remember what Jesus did for all of us, He loves us even if we ignore Him. I LOVE HIM.

I have been working on my sweater, it's over half done, will probably finish this week. Will post a picture when it's complete.

sunday morning

Up early today. Devotion was Realize: 3 steps to sin. 1)Contemplation, 2) Rationalization,3) Consent. PS Sin always affects others---Ruth Bell Graham.   Gen.3:1-19, and Gen.6:5.
The serpent will tempt you to contemplate doing something you know God said NOT to do. You must rationalize what you are doing, and give consent to do it. The serpent can not make you do anything you don't want to do. He can only make it looking pleasing. Remember sin always looks pleasing, but you have to look beyond to the consequences. The consequences of sin is death. God said when you are born again, you take on a new form, the old is washed away. You are turn away from your old life, stop the things you did, and strive to live like Jesus which was sinfree. Now I know we can not live totally sinfree, and God knows that. We are humans therefore sinful, however we can turn from things we know is sinful. We must remember others are watching us, we must live to show God's love. Just because we are christians and washed in the blood, does not mean we are free to do as we please. We are to bring other to God, not shun them, or make them question what is so different. We need to show the world why we are different, and why they want to be in our family.
I have made one new years resolution, and that is to fast and grow closer to God. I hope that through this people will see God's love through me.

Concerning my projects. I have the bottom complete for the bag, and I ripped out the sweater. Ready to start over on it. Not sure how much crocheting I will get accomplished today. I really need to clean house and take care of some things I have neglected recently. I hope that doesn't take all day, and I can get a little crocheting in.
