a new year, pictures and some small goals...

 "And the Lord, He it is that doth goeth before thee: He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."

~Deuteronomy 31:8~ 


"sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory."
~Dr Seuss~

All of Nicholas's Aunties, {and Uncle Caleb} adore him...

Hello dear friends, and a very happy new year to you all!
How strange it is to think that we are already halfway through January 2023...I wonder what this next year holds for us all?
But I know that, no matter what trials and difficulties lie just ahead of us, our gracious Lord and Saviour holds us in His hands. He alone knows what our futures hold, and will never leave us. We have no need to be concerned, when we believe that God is in control of our lives.

May this year be a blessed and beautiful one for you all, may our Heavenly Father grant you peace, joy and strength to endure whatever befalls you

~ten little goals for this year~

spend more time with my heavenly Father

capture special moments with my camera

take time to interact one on one with my six siblings 

write and post more regularly

try harder to cultivate a quiet and gentle spirit

take things a little slower, and not rush through the day

enjoy the little things in daily life

practice keeping silent, and not voicing negative thoughts and criticism

keep a daily journal

practice having a grateful heart

~Blessings to you all~Gabrielle~

  6. Have greatly enjoyed catching up on your latest two posts! I loved reading your list of goals for this year...and your thoughts at the end of the post brought tears to my eyes - it was just what I needed as I am currently going through a trial in my life that has been very painful and difficult. Your post helped point me back to look to the Lord Who has me and all my troubles and trials in His hands. Thank you.
