Make it Pretty Monday - Week 163

Hello World!  Well, here we are at the beginning of a new year.  A fresh start.  A time to make things right.  A time to think with a purpose.  I love the new year.  I love the possibilities that present themselves on the horizon.  Do you make resolutions or put some goals to paper?  This year, I made a resolution.  To become more like Jesus. To know Him in a way I've yet to experience.  To see his beauty and love more afresh every day.  

Are you tired?  Could you used a soft place to rest?  I'm a strong gal, but this girl is nothing without Him!  I cannot begin to think what my life would be like if I had never said yes to Him.  Oh, he is so sweet!  He cares immensely for us.  He cares about our lives, families, houses and yes, even our blogs.   In Him, we find everything we could possibly need.  So, my loves, let's follow Him with our whole hearts and lives.  Give it all to Him and watch what He does with it.  Two things I know, He loves me and you, and the ride with Him is amazing!

Happy New Year!  We welcome 2016 with open arms!  Now, let's get to the first Make it Pretty of the New Year!
