The Next Chapter

A whole life, two actually, has happened since I last wrote. When I last wrote I was single, in my wee 30’s, with no kids. I’ve blinked, and somehow I am in my late 30’s, have two darling boys, a handsome hubby, and all the other things that go with my version of growing older.

I’ve looked back over the blog and was filled with joyful remembrance of all the fun I have had. Life has no doubt been….well, very traumatic, but Lord, it has also been fun. This blog reminded me that despite the hardships, I am blessed! Deeply blessed.

I’m going to attempt** key word here, to blog more. And seeing as I have perhaps only a handful of followers, I am doing it for me. This will be my gratitude blog. I’ve been reminded that when you are focusing on gratitude, you can’t actually be anxious. So, off we go, onto a gratitude journey!

Also, I started a home bakery. Baking for people brings me deep joy. Baking is my hobby, my love, my passion, and this is my attempt at believing in myself. I deeply lack confidence in all areas of my life, AND, I know that I can bake good things. My prayer is there is healing in this sweet hobby of mine, with the added bonus of treats for my friends.

God is good friends. God is GOOD.

May you…

May you wear polka dotted dresses, and dance through the wildflowers.
May you never stop seeking joy.
May you understand, it’s only temporary.
May you stop and take in your glorious surroundings – wherever you are.
May you have peace knowing you were uniquely made to be you.
May you feel God’s indescribable peace, in the midst of war.
May you trust there is something bigger than you, that loves you.  Yes, you.
May you feel peace when you’re alone, and rejoice that you will be just fine.
May you grasp, though beyond understanding, it is how it is meant to be.
May you realize you command your destiny through your words.
May you smile, even through the heartbreak.
May you know it will get better when you decide it will.
May you know, this is the day the Lord had made, rejoice and be glad in it.
