Reflections of 2012

Can't believe that 2013 is almost here.  Have been thinking off and on today about this past year.  The plans we had, the events that happened that we had no clue were going to happen, watching how God continued to provide for us, wondering what was going to happen next and through it all continuing to trust Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The High's and Low's of 2012

Ringing in the New Year with friends at the Lone Star Corral

A long awaited trip home to meet our youngest grandson, Treyson
Seeing friends
Lots of shared hugs & kisses with our boys and their families

Losing our jobs at Lone Star Corral ~ just wondering what the heck happened and what happened to open and honest communication between a boss or in our cases bosses
Seeking God and asking for clarity on what to do
A new job opportunity in Branson, MO

Eagerly anticipating seeing what the Lord has in his plans for us in 2013!
Claiming his promise as shared in 

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Happy New Year to all our friends & family!!!
