Christmas and New Years EVE!!

Obviously my blog life has not TRULY started until now! Christmas time was wonderful and crazy all rolled into one! The family was over at our Lincoln City house, and because it was our first Christmas away from Hermiston it was different...but wonderful in it's own way! Bennett got a HUGE tree that fit in our vaulted ceiling living room and Mom decorated it beautifully with gold and silver balls! God reminded me how blessed i was and how wonderful his Spirit is in my life. The New Year started with Mom still in Hermiston visiting friends and Dad Bennett and I over at the beach house with the dogs. I watched the Time's Square ball drop ( as i do EVERY year VOWING to be in New York SOMEDAY on New Years Eve) and was refreshed and renewed as God covered me that night and early in the morning. Everyone was asleep and i went out onto our balcony overlooking the bay and was filled with renewal and excitement for what God holds for me this year. This is going to be a big year. I was reassured of that by God's presence and voice in my heart New Years night. Get ready world.....things are happening:)
