Happy Holidays

Praise God, we had a wonderful holiday. We were very blessed and we gave more than we got. I ended up giving away a lot of my crafts I had made. That is ok. God blessed me with a few sales and it was more than I would have had if I had not even made the effort. I love to give anyways. It was nice to be able to give something I had worked on to make really nice.

Ivory got a lot more presents for her birthday than Christmas. I do not think she was bothered though. At the age she is at, she just loved opening the presents. We even let her unwrap ours. We got her 2 more stuffed Backyardigans to add to her collection and a Strawberry Shortcake video. Shs loves the stuffed toys and we have watched the video at least 4 times already. We had a family picture made and I was able to send out some cards for Christmas, although most people did not get them till today. (better late than never....)

I am looking forward to the changes that God has for us this next year. We are still in prayer for where He wants us to go, but we know we will move on at some point. Some people will miss us but I think they will end up forgetting us after awhile cause we seem to be easily in the background. Let's just say that we don't have enough strong bonds here to fullfill our desire to be connected to other Christian families. In the end, this will make it easier to move on to wherever God wants us to be. No matter what though, we are not going anywhere without our Lord's blessings.

I pray that you had a good holiday. I understand missing loved ones at this time, but I can also rejoice in the fact that we shall be together again soon. I know my mom and father in law are in heaven for sure. I have other relatives there also. I look forward to our great reunion some day.

God Bless You all.
Happy New Year!
