I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
Well what do you know? Two blog posts in a week! LOL! I just want to say thank you to those of you that sent prayers and well wishes for Marty. He has some recuperating to do but he is doing good.
We had a great beginning to a New Year with my family. We listened to our church service this morning as Marty is getting over a head cold so we decided it best not to venture out. But, we sure enjoyed a great lunch with the kids.
Grilled pork chops, fried cabbage, green beans, blackeye peas, rice, corn bread, biscuits, desserts galore and well...If this is a sign of how we will be eating the rest of the year then we have issues! LOL!
I've decided to carry on with my monthly focus board since doing that in 2022 brought me joy, focus, and peace of mind most days. My focus for January is "GOD IS ABLE".
I hope that you all have a healthy, prosperous and beautiful New Year.
I have promised myself that with this New Year, that I will try with all my might to TRUST an unknown future to a known God...Corrie ten boom. My verse for this year is Eph. 3:20 and though I "almost" vowed to not choose a WORD for this year I knew when God gave me that scripture that "Trust" was to be my word. Lord, Help me to trust You!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Happy New Year Cindy! Trust is a good word, I have chosen focus. I heard that word at church and it just touched my heart. To focus first on God. God bless you and your family is 2023!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOne of my very favorite verses. Blessings in this New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
DeleteI love your word "Trust"...and I know God will be helping you to learn to trust Him even more and more each day. We know He is faithful, and that we can trust Him to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ever ask or think...yeah, that's one of my favorite verses too! My new word for 2023 is Listen. I am trying to pay better attention to what He is saying to me through His Word and from what is happening around me. It will be a good discipline for me to attune my ears to Him and truly LISTEN. Glad Marty is doing better, and we will continue to pray. Have a blessed and happy and healthy New Year!
ReplyDeleteListen is a great word as it is a reminder for us to listen to His Still Small Voice. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Focus for January and I LOVE your Word for the year...Glad to hear Marty is doing better and sending prayers for his continued recovery. I am happy to say that we are back to attending Mass in person at our church and we have a wonderful new young priest which makes us happy..I hope to get more involved with our parish and do some volunteering in the coming year...
It was so wonderful to stop by and visit with you tonight! I am still not being notified when you post. So frustrating! May the Lord bless you, dear friend.
