Did I Pick Those Words?
I glanced back at my post for January of 2013. ( http://janettessage.blogspot.com/2013/01/reflections-in-rear-view-mirror.html ) I was stunned. Did I really pick those words for the new year and that accessory? I sure did! God must have been smiling when He saw me type out the words - Transition and Joy, with shoes for my accessory. My mind went off with how those words were literally walked out in 2013. I will be back to ponder the manifestations of those words, while looking forward to the word God has already given me for 2014. After last year, I know I will not be able to comprehend how my new word will play out in 2014. So this week I put away all my business supplies, stop and grab my cooking supplies, to go enjoy making cookies with Benjamin. This Christmas season, with all my jobs, has been very short and I am determined to not short change my last born child.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! That picture kind of says it all (well, not "all", I'm sure).
ReplyDeleteI'm busy listing 65 blessings of the past year - which I do each birthday - one to match each year.....
THEN I'll be selecting a "word" for 2014. I'll be interested to know what yours is :)
What a lovely, lovely family Janette. You are such an inspiration and I pray God's richest blessings on you during 2014. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteIt is funny the words we think we know will be about and the Lord knows so much better.
