3/365

Spending time with Granny Sue, the kids & Nana!

With Love, Peace & Joy,

Happy Sunday

With Love, Peace & Joy,

More for 2010

Along with my Thirty for Thirty plan I have some other ideas in the works or rather other's ideas I'm running with.  

I plan to 'blog' a pic I snap every day for the next 364 days of 2010.  
That we will call Project 365. 

I also want to mark this year with a verse and word(s) that I commit to hold onto.  

My verse will be: 


Romans 12:12, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. "

My word(s) will be:
Peace & Joy!

I want my days to marked with PEACE to know the Lord walks before me, after me, with me & carries me.  I want to live a life that places Jesus first, Others second, Yourself (me) last.  


So here is a pic from New Years of Bella & one I shot today of Caleb.

With Love, Peace & Joy!

 

Thirty for Thirty

I turned THIRTY on Monday.  Whoa!  Not that thirty is this huge number...it's just that, this particular birthday crept up on me.  The past few years have been littered, sprinkled with a lot of maybes, eventually's & sometime soon's. So this will be THAT year.  That year that I stretch, grow & preserve because I will have a plan.  A thirty for thirty.  So here it is with all it's accountability glory!

starting January 1...today!

World Vision, once a month.
