New Year- New Paths Ahead

New Year, New Paths ahead...The pics below are a few paths I walked this past year and am excited about the new ones ahead. I guess I have a theme here. Never knew how much the paths are evident in my life. Paths to faith, family,  fun, adventure, solitude, home, work and rest. What Path will I take today?

where to next?

Make your dream reality!

Lovely lady wrapped in her world of color

Little village built near her heart of loved ones far and near..if only they all were closer.

You have to live in the reality that is right in front of you and make it your dream!

Lots of thoughts ,,,,happy thoughts that life is good and things do work out!

Color!

I do not play with color enough..tonight I shall again! This is a post of
 my journal page for my love..and forever is not enough! We have been together since we were 15..and married 35.

TRUST! just trust, stand still , listen

She was in love with a bird ( The Holy Sprit) TRUSTthat always told her the truth whether she wanted to hear it or not, at least it was always told to her in song!

TRUST! DO NOT MOVE! My very own lesson in trying to not make things happen but allowing God to move...and having the courage to await the outcome...it was all good!
