End of the year thoughts...

What a year! We have seen God's glorious provision, protection, and blessings on our family. I know this journey will not always be this green pasture of sweet goodness, but I am so thankful for it right now. I know the same Shepherd that leads us to the quiet waters also will lead us safely through the valleys.

"Follow me," I hear Him say.

"Oh, help, Lord, I am such a straying sheep! Please keep me close under your watchful eye. Thank you for being such a loving Shepherd."

Creation Evidence magazine for FREE!

We have loved getting this magazine and always look forward to receiving it in the mail. The articles are great and the pictures are beautiful. I am always interested in hearing about the latest discoveries that only continue to prove creation. It is also good for my kids to see scientists who believe and have the facts to prove it!

I would highly recommend this if you don't already receive it.

Acts and Facts

Serving my Creator,
