This past year has been a full one, filled with great blessings and abundant growth. God has been faithful in all things and I have learned much. The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know… even in the “simple” things.

A recent highlight in our lives was the start of another business in our home – the Clementine Pattern Co. (What a delight it is to work together as a family!)

As I think back and look forward to the upcoming year, how thankful I am that the Lord’s mercies are new every morning! Great is His faithfulness!

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul,
‘therefore I will hope in Him.’

—Lamentations 3:22-24

It has been an honor and blessing to be a part of the Six Angles team — thank you, readers, for following our six journeys over the past twelve months. This week is the conclusion of the first year… we’ll be taking a short break after this week, but Lord willing we’ll be back soon.

Farewell for now! In the meantime you’re welcome to hop on over to my blog.

Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart is glad in Him.
because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in You.

—Psalm 33:20-22
