{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 01/20/2025 }

 
Good morning dear friends and Happy Inauguration Day!!!

I am so thrilled to be here, to have been able to have voted for the first time this year, and to witness this miracle from God, take place.  We have had a very difficult past four years, we've had so much loss, so much grief, so many trials thrown our way.  There were times that I walked around with my Bible in hand, crying, not knowing how to move from one obstacle to the next.  It just felt like we were being bombarded by the enemy.

But, through it, God held our hand, and for me at least, he taught me how to pull closer, how to grow in my relationship with Him and how to become a bigger warrior for the Kingdom.  It makes everything we went through, worth it.

So Happy Inauguration Day to all!!!

Now, let's get on with our post for today.  I have to say, I am really enjoying posting daily.  Although, there will be days that the posts will be a day late, but that's because as I've done in the past, I prefer to live that day, document and take pictures, and then the next day I sit and put it all together and post it for the previous day.  It's still daily, and there will be a post every day on the blog, some on the actual day, some a day late.  I'm just thrilled that I have a post each and every day.  Feels like old blogging days.

Alright, enough babbling, have a blessed week my friends!
