4 Things That May Interest You:

by Karmen |

#1-Tomorrow is the blog’s 4th birthday which is funny because four years ago I barely knew what a blog was and punctuation scared me, so I wrote in phrases.  (If you are a dreamer or thinking of pursuing something you know little about be encouraged.)

My first post was all of 17 words which included the title, “O Happy Day” and a picture of a piglet.  The blog was born because I am forgetful and thought it would be a fun way to document our rapidly changing days.  The name, Blessings Beyond the Barnyard, was chosen because then, and now our blessings extend far beyond our barnyard.  Some of you followed along because we’re friends and friends support each other.  Then, you shared with your friends, and now there are a couple of thousand friends hanging out here because of you.  Although the length of my posts has changed the message then and today is the same, BIG things are on the horizon because of YOU!

 

 

#2-To THANK YOU I want to give you some stuff!

 

 

Tomorrow I’m giving away some of my NEW favorite things:

#4-And hey Journalers,

 

 

I’m so proud of you!!!! I’ve heard from many of you, and you’re praying and drawing near to God through His Word & prayer, and I’m just so humbled to come alongside you to say, “KEEP GOING!”  Keep making Him priority.  Keep reading His Word. Keep journaling as you #PrayBig prayers.

 

 

Another word of thanks to those who took the time to comment and let us know your thoughts on the videos.  Our sweet friends, Chris & Gina, have been so gracious and diligent to share their time and videoing skills with us!   Our prayer is that the videos will be another tool to help encourage you as you journal your #PrayBig prayers.

 

Here is the video for week four of our journaling journey.

 

There’s lots more we need to catch up on and we will SOON because we’re working on something NEW and I can hardly wait to share it with YOU but until then…

 

SHARE BLOG LOVE <3

    The journal is awesome and coupled with the videos, it is a dynamic tool to help in our Prayer Journaling. In this video, I feel that you are sitting across from me and we are having a conversation. Thank you so much for being obedient to Him and following your heart to help others in their prayer life. The journal is making a difference for so many! Congratulations on 4 years of blogging!

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
