Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy. Each evening I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.<br />
<br />
He is unfailing in His love for each and every one of us.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I had the privilege of watching my 28 year old daughter be baptized. Before she was baptized, she was asked if she wanted to share anything. Lo and behold ~ she gave her life to Christ a couple of weeks before.<br />
<br />
As a parent, I wonder where I failed through the years of her upbringing.<br />
<br />
As a Christian, I know that to have Christ as my Lord is a choice I have to make on my own.<br />
<br />
Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy. Each evening I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.<br />
<br />
I cry for joy that my daughter and I will have eternity together.<br />
<br />
I cry for despair that many of my loved ones (family and friends) haven't yet bowed down at the foot of our Lord.<br />
<br />
I pray for the lost and unreached. I pray for all of us as we go through trials and tribulations. Knowing the Lord is always by my side encourages me as nothing else!<br />
<br />

I enjoy crocheting, cross-stitch, card making/stamping, reading -- just to name a few.<br />
<br />
That got me to thinking about earning money outside of my current employment. Can I earn money by the simple things I craft? What about reading? OR even this blog. I'm still pondering but wonder if anyone out there has any input.<br />
<br />
I realize there aren't many people who actually read my blog so input from this venue may be a stretch -- I may add this as a FB post to see if I get any additional input.<br />
<br />

A great weekend was had by all as my dad celebrated his 75th birthday with his wife and four girls coming in to town as a surprise :-)<br />
<br />
It was a time of fun, laughter, family, love, deep conversations, a bit of outlet mall shopping and food.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625080605686833903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788700969303572959.post-91924001311272879612019-02-15T10:35:00.001-08:002019-02-15T10:35:55.771-08:00Winter Hasn't Left<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

SO grateful for our transit system here in Spokane,

changed my commute options.</div>

I was blessed to be able to carpool with a gal when I lived
closer to work. Now that I have moved, I
am taking advantage of the bus system. I
live close to a Park & Ride and am able to catch an express bus (5 stops
before I get off the bus).</div>

I'm just transitioning from driving to and from every day. The major adjustment is not having the freedom before and after work to stop somewhere, if I wanted.</div>
