Week 52!!!

I did it, I did it!!!! 

I made it through the year!  

It feels so good to accomplish a goal....a resolution.

I didn't make them all. I had planned to read my Bible through in a year, which I didn't complete, but I am not discouraged. I will continue pressing on. The point is I have been reading my Bible and I have gained so much from doing it.  I will finish this one - I'm not going to let a calendar stop me.

Stay tuned....the site for next year's 52 week project is in the works and I hope it is ready to roll by the week's end!

I do hope you will play along with me. :)

week 10

I am quite happy to make it to 10 weeks on one of my "resolutions".

I'm sticking with two things so far:  my 52 week self-potrait project and reading my Bible through.
I am a wee bit behind on my art journal project, but I'm not giving up - I plan to catch up on the prompts I've missed.

How are your resolutions going?

on my way home from work

I cannot possibly look at these pictures and not KNOW that God created every bit of it.

How fitting it goes with part of my Sunday School lesson last week:

Psalm 19:1
from The Message:
God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
and NIV:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

I love this site for reading so many different translations of the Bible.
My Bible is NLT (New Living Translation) which is easy to read and fairly simple (which I am!), but I also enjoy the King James, after I understand what it is trying to say of course!

With one of my new "resolutions" being really reading my Bible, meaning studying my Bible, this site comes in handy. I had signed up last year for it to read my Bible through in a year, but I fell off the wagon on that one and once you get behind it is discouraging and I always felt like I was catching up. When I was catching up I really wasn't taking in everything I was reading. So this year I have opted to simply read more & study more. :)

It ain't easy bein' green

that is my color in the ATC color swap I signed up for and I had fun making all 17 of those little green machines! I cannot wait to get all the colors back and look at everyone elses handiwork on these. This is the first swap like this I have done, so I hope my work halfway holds a candle to the others.

Here is the entire pile of cards. I am pretty happy with the way they turned out actually. My next endeavor is the ATC alphabet swap. My letter: Q. I am also doing a bible verse ATC swap. I am really looking forward to it. Which reminds me...

I have another goal for the new year: reading through the entire bible. My friend Suellen is also doing this and she had one of the bibles set up to read by date. She let me borrow it to bring home over the weekend to catch up. Then I will be following along on through Bible Study Tools (BST) which I found through an online ad on one of my emailed devotionals. I am really excited about tackling this and really think it will be something good to do at this phase of my life. I am going to read the New Living Translation because I can follow it pretty well and understand it.

Happy Weekend!
