This year has marked so many 'firsts':
* First time I have had family living up here on the Gold Coast!
* First new home for Philip and I together!
* First weddings conducted for friends!
* First (actually can't mention that one quite yet!)
* First book to be translated into Russian and featured in Women's Mag in Belarus (September) and then due for release in November!
* First time to commit to regular blogging!
All worthy of thunderous exclamation marks I think. There has also been some sadness and disappointment but we refuse to let them punctuate our life. The apostle Paul gave a worthy list of things to think and focus on - whatever things are noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, if there is any virtue or anything praiseworthy - think on these things.
So, I will attempt to 'blog on these things'. May you consciously remember some of your praiseworthy 'firsts' and punctuate your life with them!!
