Goodbye 2023…♥️

Here we are! The Eve of 2024. A new year is upon us! I sit here overwhelmed by all has taken place in this past year. 🙏🏼 To be honest, 2023 held unspeakable joys, extreme happiness, and so many answered prayers BUT it also held intense heartache and challenge. I have sat in front of my computer for the past 3 hours typing out and erasing small fragments of this post over a dozen times. I find myself, for the first time in all my blogging history, without words to share what is on my mind and flowing through my heart. But one thing I do know beyond a shadow of a doubt and can boldly say is… through it all The Lord God is 185% faithful. In good times and in the hard times, by His grace and strength, His faithfulness will be the theme of my life and my blog. If there is one truth I can leave you all with as we end 2023 and enter 2024 it would be “As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.”(Ps 18:30). The Lord God sits on His throne and is in control of all things. Even when things seem so confusing or wrong! As we commit our way to Him, He promises to direct our steps. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6. It is my hope that you find your confidence in Christ, trust His perfect plan, and keep your eyes steadfastly fixed on Him in the year to come. “For the LORD shall be thy confidence“(Prov 3:26) I do not know what 2024 holds but The Lord knows and and He remains faithful. In this truth I rejoice and move forward in faith! ✨ As I look back over the year, I see the Lord’s mercy and grace in so many ways. Memories were made that I will never forget and there is always so much to give thanks for! A year filled with dear family, sweet fellowship, new friends, tiny little life, good hard work, and His everlasting love. And I have a few dozen photos to prove it. ♥️ Happy New Year, my friends! May we seek the Lord and His face in 2024 and beyond. “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” Psalm 27:8

“Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.”
Acts 15:18

“This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:21-26
