I love that your word for the year is "abide." It is perfect as inspiration that we can only fulfill God's plans for us if we are completely dwelling in Him.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-26770725078903596332016-01-13T12:17:45.517-08:002016-01-13T12:17:45.517-08:00Thank you, Jean!

I have to be willing to slow down and make more time for Him which is on the daily habits list for 2016:) Thank you for your blessings and adorable photos.Vishnuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170477648908809386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-41179796609995222292016-01-12T15:56:34.987-08:002016-01-12T15:56:34.987-08:00What a cutie.

Those "growth spurts"--physical,emotional, spiritual--take an amazing amount of energy. However, the end results are worth it.<br /><br />This year, I've sort of decided to focus in on the word "abide". Abiding in Christ...I can do nothing without Him. I desire to draw closer to Him and truly live supernaturally.<br /><br />How exciting for Virginia that she has lost her first baby tooth!<br /><br />Love and blessings! <br />Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-13910834643842070302016-01-12T08:55:22.515-08:002016-01-12T08:55:22.515-08:00Sharon, I have to agree with you here.

It's an amazing journey, this walk with the Lord, isn't it? And may we all change for the better in His eyes.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-2856590869628211072016-01-12T08:53:17.165-08:002016-01-12T08:53:17.165-08:00Thank you once again, Ceil, for your kind and thou...Thank you once again, Ceil, for your kind and thoughtful words here. So gratified to know this post lifted your spirits as you read it.<br />And I certainly hear you about our faith walks; sometimes it is two steps forward and one step back. The important thing is to keep our eyes focused on the Lord and to keep moving. :)<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-91381809311076278332016-01-12T08:51:21.989-08:002016-01-12T08:51:21.989-08:00Thank you, Bill.

But that's okay, because at least I'm still trying.<br />Thank you for your wonderful words that just lifted me up this morning! And yes, seeing your little Virginia grow up before your eyes (and now mine!) is such a wonder. I totally understand that you want to slow things down...savor it all on a slow speed. What a joy though, that you are so closely in her life. She is a blessed little one!<br /><br />Happy Tuesday!<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-65193462993727010852016-01-12T07:39:05.759-08:002016-01-12T07:39:05.759-08:00Fun watching kids grow up.
