Happy New Year!
As I watched the last sunset of 2013, I was reminded of God's blessings and the grace he has shown me and mine over the past year. It was not without hardship by no means, but faith is what has brought us through and will continue to carry us through the coming year (and many more).
After standing in awe of the beauty of a simple sunset and watching as the darkness fell as the day slipped away, I was reminded by my daughter that we had plans to go see the midnight showing of The Hobbit. After working all day I definitely had to take a nap before going. I so wanted to back out of it but I made my daughter a promise that I had to keep. It would have been so very nice to have had the hubby go with us (he would have been doing the driving) but he was out of town for work so we just exchanged midnight text messages. Just another day as the wife of a lineman.
The movie was LONG but quite wonderful in our opinions. It does leave you with a cliff hanger and wishing the movie could continue on. That is the whole point I suppose, suck you in so that you will come to the third installment of the series of movies. Consider me "sucked in". LOL!
Of course after a 2 and half hour movie, what girl does not have to go to the rest room? Apparently we were the LAST ones still in the movies...my lonely little car was the only one still in the parking lot. It was freaky and a bit scary walking out. We did.....really fast and huddled up together and got into the car in Flash Gordon speed.
Breakfast was at the IHOP one block over and after the hour drive back home it was almost 4 a.m. It was all worth it to see my daughter smile and know that her Mama keeps her promises. My son was invited to go with us but he had his own plans and from the photos posted on FB, I see that he had a great time bringing in the new year.
And on that note, I will quit bending your ear and with the most sincerest wishes that you have a year filled with blessings.♥
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (ESV) Philippians 4:19

About Me
- Balinda (RebelChick)
- Just an everyday girl trying to find my way in the world to live life fiercely and passionately. I was a signature tagger for several years but art journaling has replaced that passion and it feeds my soul creativiely and spiritually. I also homeschool my DD, scrapbook, play around in photography, spoil my cats and drive my hubby insane on a daily basis. My faith in the Lord helps me juggle all these blessings. I keep this blog because it makes me happy. Sometimes I blog a lot and other times it collects a little dust. Thanks for visiting and being my friend.♥
