Jan. 2012 / part 2

part 2 of January -

The projects are many for this year, focusing on "cleaning up my life".

To-do lists are not fun all the time,

and I just can't seem to get away from them. 

My mom bought me a little notepad, the cover has "gotta do" repeated all over.

Hmmm....I'm trying not to a be a "Martha" all the time.

Choosing the better part like "Mary" takes just as much effort I think though.

Back to the photos,

I voted in the SC presidential primaries.

Took some engagement photos that I will unlock soon.

Went to Florence with Kenlynn to eat - this dessert was super great!

Sunday 1/22 - thank you Jesus for mercy!

Allison and her four children walked away basically unharmed.

A few small scratches maybe from the exit through shattered glass.

Chloe's carseat came out of the seatbelt - she landed right side up on the van's top.

Levi turned 9!  Eating at Pizza Inn for his birthday before revival service.

A revival at McColl from 1/22 - 1/25 with the Cordles.

Words that brought life and hope.

And at the end of January - doctor appointments that I dreaded.

First times for a lot of things.

I survived.

A shot in my arm that was painful for days and days.

And then the "taking blood" part - oh my.

So many needle probes in my right arm, it was awful!

One prick in my left arm and it worked.

The mind is a terrible thing at times.

Enough agony/torment for a long time.

Thankfully, everything came back normal.

But, I still had something else to deal with later.

And then to end the month - we celebrated with Daniel for his birthday.

Life is fragile I've learned -

and a lot of times life seems like 1 Samuel 30:6.

Which makes me thankful for John 14:18.
