God Made A Farmer

This commerical was my favorite of the Super Bowl. You all know farming very near and dear to my heart. It is one of the hardest jobs out there. It is a profession of faith. God truly knew what HE was doing when HE made a farmer! Watch the commerical.....it will give you a new perspective! Blessings!

Attitude

It seems that since life has taken a hard road for me of late I have  a rotten attitude. I seemd to be short with my husband and boys and well just be miserable to be around. I have asked God to heal my heart and HE has told me HE will in time, HIS time but in the meantime I have to find a way to deal with myself, to be me again. Sickness, death, tragedy......they all do something to a person. Life is hard without having to deal with those things. I am trying to make conscious effect each morning to get up and be me again. I also am going to see the doctor in a couple of weeks for "my feelings".

I have a lot going on right now. Daddy is down with his knee again. He went back to the doctor yesterday. I am fighting staph infection in my sinuses...it seems that is an ongoing thing. I am trying to get Momma's cookbook finished and in publication by February 1. We are very excited about this, just wish she were her to see it finished. The boys are still playing basketball. Big John is loving the farmlife yet still (praise the Lord!)!

I am trudging on and God walks with me, although HE sometimes has to carry me. I am blessed and HE is so good! Blessings!

One Word

I have seen many friends and bloggers post their "one word". You know the one thing you wish to keep close to your heart and achieve for this year. I have seen "intentional", "treasure" and "focus". I thought about  "joy", then about "direction", then about "family". 

I finally settled on "faithful".  This means that I will stay true to myself completeing the tasks at hand and doing what I say in a productive way with a successful will. It means I will faithfully spend time with my family and less time buried in the laptop screen. I made my Momma a promise on her death bed and it will come to fruition and hopefully a publisher later this year.

Faithful, that is what God is to me and what I want to be to HIM and everyone around me. So, do you have "just one word" this year?

New Year Blessings, my friends!

Mudbound by Hilary Jordan for me. I am currently reading The Hardy Boys: The Missing Chums to the boys. We are doing Jesus Calling devotion with the boys. I am doing the  Made to Crave Devotional.

My Daddy not to be so sad. Also for him to have good health.

Still dealing with Momma's death with the Lord's help but beginning to think about medication. I am short and snappy and I do not like being that way.
