It's so good to hear from you :) Thanks for sharing your heart with us and I'm so glad you took the opportunity to recap, allowing God to remind you just how perfectly He works in ALL THINGS. I think back through all you and your family have been through and I KNOW God's hand has been at work the whole way. Thank you, Staci for your obedience to Him, your unstoppable desire to serve, and your encouraging Love for the Savior, His people, and the lost. <br />I am blessed to know you and your family and I anticipate seeing what HE does in the future in and through you guys.~Stephanie Waferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150778217259431061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658459903386219997.post-60482896811898298122012-01-05T14:26:25.852-08:002012-01-05T14:26:25.852-08:00I've been thinking on what 3 words I would use...I've been thinking on what 3 words I would use to characterize this last year for me. It was really good to kind of recap and refresh for a new year, thanks for passing on the idea. My 3 words would be Failure, faithfulness & fruitfulness. Failure because it has been a year with death of some dreams, relationships, etc and it has left us searching for a lot of answers and asking the question did we fail, did God's plan fail... I don't have answers to all the questions. But all this searching has been beautifully hard and we are left with the second word. God is faithful, His faithfulness has shown through again and again through all the "failure" and change. And He is continuing to call us to keep up the faith and strive toward greater faithfulness in our lives. And lastly the word fruitfulness. Through the feelings of failure we ask questions about where's the fruit, what does/should the fruit look like... And through it all I am learning not to look through my own eyes to judge fruit, but to be patient and all God to be the judge of the Fruit, for He is faithful.Stacinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658459903386219997.post-65417587220189018152012-01-01T20:25:06.208-08:002012-01-01T20:25:06.208-08:00Well said, Bianca.

In every situation, both good and bad, there is always the hand of God working all things out for His good. Thank you so much for sharing! I too have a rare, godly man to follow and learn from.<br />Thanks so much for stopping by, and for the wonderful, person gift of honey you sent us! I also really enjoyed the card. I hope your family had a great Christmas. May God bless you abundantly!~Stephanie Waferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150778217259431061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658459903386219997.post-63384232149738935482012-01-01T18:03:18.548-08:002012-01-01T18:03:18.548-08:00Hi Stephanie,
I enjoy reading your blog and I am e...Hi Stephanie,<br />I enjoy reading your blog and I am encouraged by your thoughts. As I look back on 2011 I have one word in 3 circumstances...just to keep up with the 3's...lol. GRATITUDE for God's JEALOUS LOVE. It is so humbling for me to know that God, creator of the universe and king of kings ( and many more titles I don't have room to write) has such an immense love for me, a simple human. GRATITUDE for the FAMILY he has blessed me with. I have a godly man to follow, a rare think I might add, and 3 amazing children that God has saw fit for me to train...wow what a privilege to be entrusted with God's amazing people...and speaking of God's people, GRATITUDE for BROTHERS AND SISTERS in Christ. I have learned to cherish them this year more than ever. They were there when I needed to be stirred up in my faith and challenged to get up and run the race. What a blessing to have people that are leaving their life with one goal in their hearts and in their minds...to glorify GOD in whatever circumstances keeping their eyes on the things above. New year, new challenges, new circumstances...one UNCHANGING GOD.<br />Happy New Year.<br />Bianca OlarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
