Story of my life...2014 Version "A New Start"

A friend told me I should blog... I looked back on things and realized I haven't actually "Blogged" since 2011! Time sure flies when you enter Facebook land. My facebook posts short and sweet have taken place of my blogs but when I looked back, Blogs are SOOOO much more fun, So, I decided to resume my blogs, they are fun and a great way to remember the goodness of this life given me.
Here we go again...

                                                                A New Start...
                                             
My new years resolution for 2014 is to thank God in advance for the blessings I will receive in the coming year... The Scripture Nehemiah 8:10 The JOY of the LORD is your STRENGTH is my motto and I am determined to live with the Joy of the Lord in all things I do...I expect my year to be amazing...

 

Last year,I made a blessings jar in a cute little Mason Jar like Pinterest showed me to, the jar was filled by January so that project was over...I guess I should be grateful of that but to me it felt like another unfinished thing added to my list. This year, I found this GIANT jar and decided to cute-ify (Troysie word) it up beginning with removing the label... Forget it, too frustrating, so here the jar sits waiting to be filled with blessings...

 

Next, I decide to take a picture of the super cool "Joy" themed birthday gifts my girlfriend Judy White gave me to use as the picture of my scripture of the year and love the results.

 

Took a few tries though...

 

Story of my life, it is a good, and Simple Blessed life indeed hope you enjoy the journey with me.

 

By the way, my Blessings Jar turned out cute and is ready to be filled with Troysies Joysies
