Moving Day

-

 

It's moving day! But not the kind of move you think. 😉

I've made the decision to move my blog over to my website. I started this one way back in 2008 and it started as a way to just chat about my daily life. Way back then my children were little and it was a mixture of faith, family, food and all sorts of other tidbits. 

Since then my kids have grown into adults. My life has changed and this whole blog has kind of had an identity crisis as I figure things out. Blogger has served me well, but it's a new day and I need to do something new.

Rather than have two separate blogs (which is happening now), I'm moving my posting to the website. I will leave this blog up for a few months so that people coming here can find the link, but will doing all my blog posts on Encouraging Deep Roots.

You will still be able to read my blog posts, but just in a different location. You won't be able to leave a comment since it's different than blogger. But please feel free to send me an email through the contact form on the website. 

I'm paying for a website and feel like I should use it to the fullest which includes their blog site.

I wanted to let you know rather than just leaving a link. I'll "see" you over there!

Paper Crafting Wednesday

Kelli hosts this each week and I always enjoy the opportunity to sit down and make some cards. For those of you who have noticed an abundance of crafty posts on cards, I do have some sewing projects in the works and I'll share some of them soon! I wasn't thrilled with any of these cards this week. I really need to get some more supplies but I'm trying to use what I have first. I really feel like this one needs a ribbon or something. Anyway, I was not feeling particularly inspired last night but thought I'd share them anyway.

A Mindful Year

This year has been strange to say the least, and has not gone exactly the way I expected. A good chunk of the first part of 2025 was spent helping with my in-laws before my mother-in-law passed away the day after Easter. And as we are entering into the last part of 2025 I think the word, mindful, is an accurate description of how the year as gone so far. In fact, I was browsing in a local book store and found this book entited, A Mindful Year. It is a journal of daily writing prompts and I just started it the other day.  I've worked at being intentional in many of the areas of my life and I think "mindful" is a good word to use.  I've been mindful in taking time to pray, read, and hear what God is saying to me.  I've been mindful in getting in many days of exercise each week, especially getting out and walking and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. I've been intentional with family and taking time for them. I've been mindful in my other relationship...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
