Happy New Year 2013

-
Today starts a brand new year.  Can you believe that it's already 2013?  2012 really flew by for me.  As a rule, I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but this year I decided to set some goals.  The last month has shown me how much I need to make some new goals.  Among these are to grow closer to my God, work a little less, spend more time with my family, and a few others.


Another goal is to post more "reflections" posts.  As I go through day to day, I see so many people who are hurting or simply struggling.  Friend, there is hope.  That hope can be found in Jesus Christ.  He loves us so much and wants to be your hope, your strength, and your all.  I plan to share that hope with you through the reflections posts this year.




How about you?  Are you setting some new goals this year?


I have decided to adopt a Scripture verse for my blog and my life for 2013.  Here it is:

"And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Romans 12:2

Remember to take the time to enjoy the little things today.

Hi Cheri and Happy New Year to you and your sweet family. This year, I've resolved not to make any resolutions that I'm incapable of keeping. I'm starting out this New Year with a "Lord Willing" attitude and trusting that He will accomplish all that needs to be accomplished in me an through me. I'm also, leaving all expectations in His capable hands. That doesn't mean I plan to be lazy. There is a lot of pain in the world and everyone needs, Jesus. I know we both have a bright future in Him. God bless you, Cherie and tell Daniel 'hello' for Pete and I. God bless. Love, Pam

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a
