Happy New Year Everyone!  I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful December, and like I am, are looking forward to all that God will do in 2016!

As I look to the coming year, I realize I need to get back in the swing of things.  This poor little blog has been quite neglected for way too long and that needs to change.  I need a new start in 2016!  Right now I am mulling over a few ideas for updates to the site as well as what areas on which to focus. Then, tomorrow morning I'm planning on beginning the day in God's word, followed by heading back to this space to write down my thoughts and share what I've discovered as to why I haven't written any posts for almost a year.  Please pray that I will keep my focus and get back into a healthy routine of reading, writing and sharing.

And now, it's time for the Sharing His Beauty Blog Link Up!  Where has God shown you His beauty this week? Please join me to share the blessing that God is to you in your life. Write a post on your own blog and then simply click on the "You're Next" linky below and enter your blog information. You can find more information about Sharing His Beauty by clicking on the link in my sidebar or in the "Schedule" tab above.

You can also Tweet your participation by clicking here:#Sharinghisbeauty

I'd also love to hear from you in the comment section of my blog! You may leave a comment on this post to tell of the beauty you have found in His hands. Be sure to visit some of the other inspirational sites linked up and be encouraged today! Click below for the linky!
