I wanted to pop on one more time before Christmas {Christmas is in ONE WEEK! eek!} and wish each of my readers {friends} a very blessed Christmas!! I’m going to be taking a blogging break through the holidays and didn’t want to disappear without wishing you a Merry Christmas!
I’m excited to come back in the New Year with a renewed vision and purpose for this little space on the web. I consider you friends and value your opinion! If you have thoughts on what you’d like to see MORE of {or LESS of} I’d love to hear from you!! Leave me a comment and we can discuss it there, I will reply back to you directly in the comments section! I’m thinking of doing a survey also, in the New Year, but thought I would see if I get any suggestions now too. I’m prayerfully considering the direction that God wants for His Mercy is New.
As you probably know, God has stretched me as a result of this blog. I’ve shared my heart, shared my worst moments and my best. I’ve asked you to pray and I’ve prayed for you…I consider this little space – and YOU – a ministry that we are in together. It is my heart to encourage other moms and especially moms that struggle, which is most of us from time to time. 🙂
At the same time, I won’t deny that I’ve been trying to earn a little bit of income from this space. I don’t want to change my blog for money, I want this space to be what God wants it to be. But, if I can earn a little bit to help my family, that is part of my goal. As most of you know, raising a family {that has to eat} is hard on one income these days. Every little bit truly does help.
That is why I wanted to say THANK YOU for stopping by when you do, for purchasing through my affiliate links, and for leaving me your encouraging comments.
Truly, it means the world to me!!
So, our family appreciates you greatly. And we wish you the best Christmas.
I pray for you, my readers!! You are a blessing to me!

Merry Christmas! It has been a pleasure reading your blog this past year. I’d love to see more post on homeschooling, especially how you are liking Winter Promise. This is a curriculum I’ve considered but haven’t make the leap because I can’t find a lot of positive reviews. It would be great to see how it is working for your family, what you like and dislike, etc.
Candace says
Stacy, thank you for stopping by and commenting!! Life has gotten away from me and I have NOT posted as much about Winter Promise as I had hoped! But, I do have quite a few ancient history posts already…we are LOVING ancients with WP!! I do need to post an update or two. 🙂
