HAPPY NEW YEAR!

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! — 2 Corinthians 5:17

Starting to reflect on last year, on what is happening today, and what the rest of this new year will bring!I am off on a journey to discover what God has in store for me, how it will affect my daily life, my endeavors such as my ETSY shops, my social media, my family, etc.  Come along and see what is in store.....

2014 - I Am Going To Ratchet Up!

I get a daily devotional from Heartlight in my email every day - it is a great way to start my computer morning!  Today Phil Ware shared on New Year's Resolutions - Do we Count Down or Ratchet Up.  Well I am going to ratchet up to discover what is God's Urgency for my life and me personally.  What does he want me to do?  Phil gave us three principals to follow to discover what God has planned for us in 2014.

1.  ASK        "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you "(Matthew 7:7).

2.  REST      Honor the Sabbath, or choose another day in your week to rest and honor God, to be with family and friends.

3.  SEEK       Seek Jesus thru the Word, pray , know Him and follow Him.

Blessings to all!

I AM BACK

Well it has been almost two years since my last post and I have been trying to decide what my blog is all about.  I want my blog to reflect who I am -- what I am all about. First I want to share my love for Jesus, my family, and my love of art and creating pottery and jewelry, sewing, and the outdoors.  I also want to help promote my other fellow ETSY artists.  Well, that is a start on a mission for my blog and I will continue to work  expanding on it as time goes on.

MY FAMILY

MY FAMILY

I am going to introduce my family to you!  This post is sharing my son David, his wife Jess, and their son JP (John Patrick—after both grandpas).  David is our oldest and he always wanted to be a cowboy.  He received is BS and Masters Degree at Colorado State University.  David and Jess love the Lord. 

 

The Oscar Myer Hot Dog van recently visited the Ranch – JP had a great time checking it out.  He got a whistle and a stuffed Oscar Meyer Van

 

David and family live on a dude ranch near Burnsville, NC where David is the barn manager.  Jp loves the outdoors and especially the horses but wants Dad to get some chickens too. 

David and Jess were married at the dude ranch David had in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado a few years ago

Due to the poor economy they gave up being in the dude ranch business on their own and went to work at Clear Creek Ranch.

 

One of the fun things they enjoy doing is reenactments or shows for the guests

 

And the whole family participates.

David and Jess are expecting a new addition to the family in June.  Guess I need to visit North Carolina this summer!
