Word of the Year: 2017 {Thoughts From Me}

January 5, 2017 by Dana

lens-1209823_1280FOCUS
It’s been a while since I chose a word of the year for us.  Last year we weren’t really online due to not having internet so I wasn’t really able to chose one.  This year we do have internet so I’ll be picking our word of the year.

As I’ve thought and prayed over our Word of the Year, I was really torn between two words:  Balance and Focus.  Balance was my first choice but the more I prayed, the more Focus presented itself.  I began to understand that our word of the year should be Focus.

Dictionary.com defines Focus as a noun meaning a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.  Focus is also described as the clear and sharply defined condition of an image.  It can also be a verb meaning to concentrate: to focus one’s thoughts and to direct one’s attention or efforts.  Synonyms for Focus are: heart, center, core, nucleus.

Our focus this year will be upon each other as a family.  As a Mother, I wish to focus more on my children, enjoying the years we have left before they are grown.  I wish to focus on each of their relationships with me and Donald, with each other, allowing them to strengthen these relationships in order to better our family. 

I plan to focus on finding a way to sustain our family financially as well.  I’m not sure where we are being led yet, but I know that God has a plan and my focus will be on allowing God to put us on the path he wishes for us to be.

As a family, we will also focus on strengthening our relationship with God as well.  We will continue to pray together, and for others.  We will learn more about God’s plan for our family through prayer, and through building our relationship with Him and with one another as well.

Focus is our main goal for this year and Focus we will do!

Creation Illustrated {Crew Review}

June 20, 2012 by Dana


 19 Years Strong as the Leading Bible-based Nature Journal


Readers call it, “The Christian answer to National Geographic” — EVERY ISSUE A KEEPSAKE! (from www.CreationIllustrated.com)


     Creation Illustrated is a magazine provided by the wonderful Tom and Jennifer Ish, as a private, non-profit, non-denominationally owned ministry.  Through their ministry and magazine they share the love of God’s Creations and His Biblical Truths.  Creation Illustrated strives to provide a balance of physical, mental and spiritual enrichment with each edition printed.  


From the Creation Illustrated Blog:


Mission Statement:
Our purpose is to share the wonders of God’s creation. By revealing fresh insights of His infinite wisdom, gentle touch, undeniable justice, redeeming love, and flawless design, pure truth shall bring renewed peace. Each part of this publication is offered as a reprieve from the daily rigors of life so that all can look to the future with unbridled gratitude and hope.



     For this review, I was sent a full year subscription of four magazines to look through and use with my family.  The magazine is printed four times a year in the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter months.  Each edition includes beautiful images of God’s extraordinary creations, facts about each creation shared, biblical insights and verses throughout and much, much more.  The pages are glossy and filled with color to show the beauty of God’s world.  Providing a non-denominational take on God’s creations, Creation Illustrated is a magazine that can be used with almost any Christian religion without interfering with the beliefs provided by that denomination.
   


     This magazine was an exciting addition for our homeschooling.  My children greatly enjoyed browsing the photos and discussing the images inside.  I personally read through the articles and shared them by reading aloud throughout the review time period.  Each magazine provided insight into different aspects of God’s creations and gave thought from His viewpoint on these animals and places.  My children also enjoyed having these wonderful magazines on hand to go through as they wanted to.



     A subscription to Creation Illustrated is available online through the website for:
                                     One Year, Four Issues: $19.95
                                     Two Years, Eight Issues: $37.95
                                     Three Years, Twelve Issues: $53.95



      Gift subscriptions are also available through the Creation Illustrated website:                      
                                            www.creationillustrated.com
