Reflections of 2015

Can you believe that in a couple of days time it will be December already? How has your year been? Are you excited and ready for 2016. I love this time of year, I love to reflect, to sort and clean my home for Christmas and to have a good break after a hard year's work. As it gets colder it seems to get more magical.  Before the autumn leaves disappeared we had a family photo shoot and we had so much fun!


Daniel and Amy love to climb trees so we have several photos of them up in a tree or just hanging around like in the one below. They are such monkeys!


Can you see the little bump on Lorah below?  She is PREGNANT so I am going to be a grandma in January! It is so exciting and I can't wait to meet my first granddaughter.


Here is an amazing photo of Samuel, Lorah and the bump taken today.  Ooh I am so excited I could pop!


2016 has also given us two litters of kitten from our precious cats, Muffin and Poppy.


It could be so easy to reflect on the struggles and difficulties we have faced this year but equally we have the choice to focus on all the good times which is what we will do. The struggles have been many and I am always honest with you here on my blog and share them freely along with what God is teaching me.  But what a joy today to be able to post some of the amazing times that we have had this year.

How about you, what has brought you joy this year?  I would love to hear from you and see your photos too.

Love

Passion & Purity

"God made us girls for extravagant, wild, imaginative, adventurous, fantastic loving!"

For Such a Time As This

Hello King's Daughters, It's been a while since I've been in touch and King's Daughters has been very quiet, in fact totally dormant.  During this time of dormancy, a seed has been growing inside of me and it's so strong that I have to seriously consider if it's God saying "It's time".  Time to start taking back what the enemy has stolen from us. Time to fight for our families, schools, churches, communities and nation. Time to pray together and be proactive, not reactive to what is going on in the world today. Time to talk about the complex topics that our churches may not be ready to discuss openly such as gender confusion and mental health issues. Time to learn how to generate an income or second income by using what's in our hands and to have extra to be generous to the world around us as we face economic uncertainty.  Time to find balance when everyone else is consumed by busyness. I have a story to tell, a struggle I've been through t...
