FAITH FRIDAY :: 31dec2021 - Happy New Year!

 It is a little past 6pm where I live, so the change of years has not happened here yet.  I have been busy doing more of my reorganizing, thinking about 2022, trying to find the best way forward for me.

I am always wondering what GOD will be doing as our time passes.  We want the best of everything, but that is not always what life brings us.  

I look for a future where I am safe and have what I need to live and grow and thrive.  I want everything to be good.  I wonder what I will do first.  I see the global problems and hope we can help a lot of people survive, especially Christians.  I look for GOD to protect His people from harm as times change.

I still don't have my ONE goal for 2022.  It is hard to decide what can be achievable in my life situations.  Personal, business, crafting - what kind of goal should I truly commit myself to?  My one resolution is a BIG thing for me.

Still working on my downsizing.  2022 will begin with an effort to sell what I can and use the money for other things I need.  

I guess I have a lot of projects already in process.  Maybe they are my 2022 goal.     :-)      I suppose they could be.  I will think on that tonight.

My GOAL book for 2022 is filling up fast.

I have my journal book for 2022 ready to start.  It's a 2013planner filled with recycling tips and environmental details.  I found it at a SCRAP store many years ago, but missed the next year with the same days.  So, I am just going to go by the dates and enter a review of the day with any special details included for the page.  This is another experiment of mine as I search for the best way for me to keep track of my days. 

Someday I might try a Bullet Journal (Bujo) format.  I like notebooks for most everything, so I make my own dotted pages with a program like Excel.  I haven't gotten to the designs yet, but want to.  I bought some of the little metal stencil awhile back.  When I find them again, I will try a few of the Bujo options to practice.

Have to go...

Hope your 2020 is the best year ever!  Mine too!

In Christ,  Deb  <3

2019 is finally here! - Thursday, 3 January

It has been a long transition to this new year... I have been busy thinking about goals, finishing up the details to end my 2018, and seeking GOD about my life.  I think of lots of great things to share, but never seem to get them down on the posts... maybe I can do better for this year.   :-)

I decided I want to enter prayers at the FB Prayer page.  I always feel a burden for people that come across my path... people I have already put on my prayer lists and new ones.  I recently started to write monthly letters to a man in Pakistan.  I think I shared about that here.  It is a new focus for me and I will have to start learning what you can send to international prisoners.  He was arrested just because he wants to believe in Jesus.  I wrote to him that I hope for the day when each person will be free to choose their eternity. We have issues in our own country about matters of faith, but not as bad as some other countries.  I wonder where the Antichrist will rise from... it will make a difference.

Today I have been reworking my budget record pages.  My computer doesn't seem to like my budget work... it develops problems now.  I am not sure how to deal with these computer problems -- I can't afford decent equipment, but that is not a guarantee about not having problems.

I am going to try to get a smartphone this year.  It is close to the least expensive goal I have.  I am hoping it will solve a lot of problems in my life... with photos, selling, etc.

I was able to buy some badly needed supplies with Christmas and Birthday gifts... storage shelves and a great file for my yearly records.  A little at a time.  I am reorganizing my space to fit them in as my body allows me to.  :-)   Aging has its down sides.

Back to the monthly letter routine.  I have 30 regular letters to write now, and still building up my family contact information.  Still praying for GOD to solve the problems of no replies.

I am going through my books and other possessions to reduce the overload in my small living space.  I decided I need to get brutal and will try to get my books down to one main bookshelf.  As I use my craft supplies I will be looking for better ways to organize them, too.

I guess I am finding a way to the future for me and my goals.

I hope you are doing that, too.
New beginnings are always a wonderful thing.

May GOD bless us all with His love and abundant provision for our needs and the needs of His Body in this world.

I will be getting back into my old routines and creating new ones.  Keep in touch, share your thoughts, and lets find a great way to use the time we have in this new year.


Until next time,
In Christ,
