Closing the year

Ah, the last day of the old year. I can’t say that I’m sorry to see it go- a lot of “stuff” I wouldn’t want to revisit this year . . . .  but I wouldn’t wish it away- all of it has brought us here- right on the cusp of a new year—a year that I believe God will bring the rain He has been preparing us for. It isn’t always easy for me to not worry- lately it seems I have been doing more than my fair share of worrying over the financial crisis again- each time it grips me- I pray and I say to myself, “No matter what I will praise you. We can face the storm because God is bigger than the storm.” I cannot let the fear get a tighter grip on me.
And so I am closing the door on 2007 and heading into 2008 prepared for God to bless me and mine.
To God be the Glory!

God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you may abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8

The Lord will guide you always. He will satisfy your needs and strengthen you . . . Isaiah 58:11a

Amy,
I loved the New Year Breakfast centerpiece.
You must have some great Good Will store up there. I rarely find good things like that tablecloth here.
My New Year's resolution was to worry less and have more fun in 2008...I wish the same to you.

Hello, Amy.... It has been WAY too long since I stopped by your site for a good visit..... I haven't been visiting other blogs as much as I used to.... I miss It! Anyway, I printed off some recipes and I LOVE your 3 gift idea for Christmas. In fact I just posted you article on my blog (with a link). God is FAITHFUL!!!!! Our motto for 2008 is "Live SOLUTION focused rather than PROBLEM focused". God always has the solution... we need to trust him, obey him and walk it out!!!
For some reason the comment section wont let me "login"..... I am Heather from www.homesteadblogger.com/borncountry

Have a great day!

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.

DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
