Whoa! I am so glad to be back to blogging
and am more than ready to
check in on all of you again.
I have missed my time with YOU...
You have all become such a big
part of me.
Whoever thinks when
they begin blogging for the first time,
such as I did in the fall of 2009,
that they will meet so many wonderful
and real friends through a computer screen?
I think the bond is because we all have
some what of a writer's heart ♥
or we wouldn't be drawn to this type of format.
“Impossible situations can become possible miracles.”
Robert H. Schuller
When changes come into our lives they can be disguised
as bad things when really they are good and
sometimes wonderful things.
This past summer I unexpectedly lost my job.
It was a job in a school system, which
fit my life perfectly and allowed
me to be off work in the summertime
which then allowed me more time to be
creative and pursue my love of art.
It also gave us time and money to travel
to go and visit our sweet little grandchildren
and their mommy (our oldest daughter ♥)
and daddy, who live nine hours away.
Even though I was off work
in the summertime,
we still counted on my paycheck
through the school months and stretched it out.
I began to fear, but pressed on and
created more and more
with my time instead.
God taught me
some very great lessons
about myself
and showed me how to dig deep within and
pull out more parts of ME
that I didn't know existed before.
But...........
HE knew they were there all along!

In times of crisis we often
become
more creative out of necessity and
new and great things can come
from that painful stretching and growing.
Things like the:
"We've been there" moments
that we get to share with our children and
grandchildren when we find them
going through something
painful and stretching later on in their lives.
♦
I even grew in the area of selling my creations
and my imagination seemed to expand
during this time.
It also gave me a deeper heart for
those who suddenly find themselves jobless.
Whenever we get
a deeper ♥ heart for others,
we really do become better people.
Don't you think so too?

Everyday,
no matter what YOU are going through,
I believe God is doing
little miracles
for YOU all along the way.
Just like he has
and will continue to do for me.
We just have to remember to watch for them.
Then you know what God
did for me next? Out of seemingly nowhere,
He provided for me the
most wonderful opportunity.
He gave me a new part-time job at a place
I have for many years wanted to
be a part of.
Since it is part-time, I will also have
time to continue on with
my dream
of creating my art.
My new job is at a very special place.
I believe it fits well
with the gifts God has placed
inside of me.
I am now working at a Hospice organization
called New Hope Hospice.
And what is even greater is I get to see this sweet face!
This is our youngest daughter Jaymie.
She is a Social Worker at New Hope Hospice.
Woo Hoo!
Even my sweet daughter wanted
her momma to come and work where she works!
That is a very special blessing to me.
Don't you love her eyes? ☺
I think she got the goofy gene naturally
from you know who.
Balanced of course with wisdom! (grin)
So to YOU my friends,
watch for your special miracles.
I just know that God
has them planned for YOU too!
♥
