You have such a sweet spirit and your love for your husband & kids is a joy to behold.<br /><br />My year changed in that my homeschooled kids went to public school and I went to work at a school.<br /><br />My care free schedule of doing laundry at anytime and cooking a good meal every day at lunchtime got flipped around. I rarely see my husband because he works swing shift & we rarely all eat together.<br /><br />Thankfully my husband cooks and we get a good meal when we get home most days, barring something doesn't have to be fixed instead of him cooking.<br /><br />Just missing our family times together. We have to make an effort now to do this. It used to just happen every day.<br /><br />I guess I'm celebrating change, but since I don't like change much it's hard, but God is good and He knows what is best for us. Things will fall back into place as He would have them.<br /><br />I'm wearing "Joy" because I've learned so much at my new job this year and I've had fantastic people to teach me and be at my side when things have gotten tough. Joy in God's journey.<br /><br />Have a great second year my blogging friend.<br />NannetteMocha Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133819622642150044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674863270172495413.post-10045859104736301532010-05-01T16:25:14.740-07:002010-05-01T16:25:14.740-07:00Sara, I can't say that I recall just how I hap...Sara, I can't say that I recall just how I happened upon your blog but other than LPM Blog you were my first to begin to read. And when you visited mine and left me a comment I was SO excited. It has been such an encouragement to me to discover a world of women out there in blog land who love Jesus. It gives me hope in this sad, corrupt world in which we live. Lets keep spreading the Gospel and love of Jesus into every cell of cyberspace we can.

If you would like to see <a href="http://expectationofheaven.blogspot.com/2010/04/party-at-splashin-glory.html" rel="nofollow">what I am wearing</a> to this delightful party, pop on over…☺<br /><br />You are such a sweetheart. You stopping by my blog to visit with me has been one of the joys of this past year. I am blessed by your gently ways and loving heart. Thank you for caring and sharing God’s love. <br /><br />I have been blessed this year in God’s loving provisions for my family, for our health, and for His protection over us as we go about our daily lives. I am thankful for His mercy and compassion, grateful that He remembers my frailties and is patient with me. <br /><br />Psalm 103:13, 14<br /> 13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. <br />14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. <br /><br />Psalm 145:8,9<br /> 8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. <br /> 9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.<br /><br />God bless and keep you and your family close to Him in the coming year.<br /><br />Much love!<br />♥HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674863270172495413.post-35313997554247503702010-04-29T08:54:18.147-07:002010-04-29T08:54:18.147-07:00Happy Anniversary to Blogging!

You are such a bright light in our cyber world :-) It has been a joy to come visit and get to know you this past year, although of late I've been a bad blog-hopping buddy :-(<br /><br />The highlight of my year has been the birth of my niece's triplets. Teddy, Josh and Emma are three little miracles that I got to watch God perform. They arrived at 32-1/2 weeks PERFECT and were home in 3 weeks from their birth. They have taught me about faith and trusting God in prayer and watching Him do a modern-day miracle.<br /><br />Thanks for the party, celebrating you and your blog, as well as God's blessings in our own lives!<br /><br />Can't wait to read what God has in store for you this next year!<br /><br />Hugs :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468825001504482205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674863270172495413.post-91344050238599846702010-04-29T06:47:37.021-07:002010-04-29T06:47:37.021-07:00Celebrating with you!

You have been such a refreshing splash this year and have so much to share in your deep reflections on Scripture (you have such deep pools of wisdom! Thank you for sharing!) I celebrate the love of FAMLY today and how the beauty of that (even in it's crazy, and at times somewhat chaotic aspects) deepens my love for God and His love for me and in turn my love for orphans and wanting to provide for them a family. I'm still in my jammies this early morning before the boys wake up. Thank you for splashing this year!<br />Blessings!<br />ValerieValerie and Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262396189658326210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674863270172495413.post-47257556348638518972010-04-28T19:14:45.319-07:002010-04-28T19:14:45.319-07:00Hi Sara,

Thank you for sharing your heart here, even the tough things that come up. <br />This year I am exceedingly happy to celebrate the birth of my little Gavin. This means so much more to me today than it has in the last few months, as we have received some sad news on our friends' little girl today. So I definitely celebrate my husband and son today. I am truly a blessed woman.

Thank you for inviting me to the party, but I'm too far to meet you in person, however, I really enjoy your blog.<br /><br />It is so wonderful to see more people like you shining God's Love in Cyberspace. May The Lord continue His wonderful work in you and through you.<br /><br />I would like also to say hello to all of your friends. I'm most of all a follower of Jesus, passionate about our Father and life in general. I am also stay at home Mom and a writer, the author of two blogs here on blogspot and over 200 online articles published on various sites.<br /><br />Today I'm celebrating God's Love and the life He has blessed me with, as well as opportunity to meet online and in person so many of His children who became such an encouragement to me.<br /><br />Blessings to you all!Esther N.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03541770178007977923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674863270172495413.post-54396707272870586712010-04-28T15:22:52.627-07:002010-04-28T15:22:52.627-07:00Congrats on your first year sweet friend.

As I think back...Wow! A year? Is that possible? <br /><br />As I think back on what God has done in my life, and remember reading your amazing story---I thought...how hard it would be to leave "the here" and go to "there" wherever that "there" might be.<br /><br />But indeed, God did call me to perform an Abraham walk this year. Right out of my 8 to 5 perfect setting job. Perfect setting, perfect pay, kind hearted people. Out of that into His path.<br /><br />The unknown has yet to be completely unfolded--yes, like a rose after a splashing rain--- :)<br /><br />We'll see. I do know one small path--I take my very first plane ride this year in July to Honduras on a church mission project. Very first. Hopefully of many more. But that, dear friend, is entirely up to my "Scheduler".<br /><br />Have a super blessed week! Glad your heart is overflowing into all of ours! God is AWESOME!

You have already blessed me in just the few months of posts I have read. And I think it is so cool that I also live in Arizona! I live in Gilbert. Not sure what part you are in? <br /> This year has been an incredible one for our family. With 4 children, the oldest is in her fist year at ASU, God called us to adopt. Just as he tells EVERYONE to Care for the orphans and the widows, we finally realized he could see us when we closed our eyes and when we plugged our ears and we obeyed. It was a different journey than we expected it to be and we drew so very close to him through much sadness and grief, but after all of that I would do it over any time! It has been the greatest gift of all my life outside of our salvation and we are so blessed to have gone to China in November to bring home our darling daughter Lexi. Thanks for letting me stop in and share in the party. I am clothed in humility and gratefullness and I am going to wear it every single day!
