New Design on the Way

*UPDATE*
I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, Fabulous K!

Our new blog design is on its way! I think it’s safe to say that it’ll be up by morning. Yeah! So if you stop by tonight and every time you click things look a little different, that’s why. Our designer may be in the middle of installing it.

This design will be somewhat temporary since we are switching over to a new blog platform soon and we won’t get to keep this design (since it has been particularly designed for Blogger), but we want to get something fresh and fun on here in the meantime. (No worries. When we make the switch, all the old posts and comments will still be with us.)

Also, Melissa is getting packed and running all her last-minute errands. She leaves for India tomorrow!

    The words “new platform” worry me. Does that mean no more blogging? Or does it mean website/ blogging?

    Even so, I look forward to the new look!

    And I’m praying all day for Melissa (and your entire family), as she prepares.

    Definitely in prayer for Melissa.

    I look forward to seeing the new blog design. Although, I am still amazed at the paint bucket picture. I’m just not all up on technology and design. It does not take a lot to please me. I have always and still think the current design is awesome. I am curious about the new design though. I’m sure it will be really great.

    Melissa:
    CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR TRIP WHEN YOU GET BACK. I AM REALLY EXCITED FOR ALL OF YOU!!!!!

    Hi!
    I am at a new church where we are introducing Beth Moore studies from 7-9 on a weeknight.
    We are kicking off this women’s study by offering Beth’s “Wising Up” (a summer study with no homework) and then want to do Beth’s Esther study in the fall.
    Wondered if anyone has advice on facilitating the Wising Up series? When I called Living Proof, they were very nice, but didn’t have any info to give me on this…so I thought I would reach out here.
    Thank you in advance

    I’ve shared this with some mighty prayer warriors in Georgia, even at the capitol. We are all praying for Melissa and her fellow travelers…plus those who will be awaiting her return.

    Grace and peace!

    Will we be able to access archives of the old blog still?

    Safe travels Melissa. My grandfather made 20 missionary trips there in his lifetime.

    I want to go too!! I’ve been following the different blogs of the people going, and it’s fun to see each of their different viewpoints and things they’re trusting God with.
    On a sidenote, we started the Esther study 4 weeks ago. I expected to have 5-6 women, and we’ve ended up with 32! Love it, love the study, love the ladies, love it!

    It appears as though we’ll still have the opportunity to go back to old posts and re-read, right? Otherwise, I should have printed some of those off!

    I can’t wait to hear about the nation and peoples of India, through Melissa’s God-given ‘eyes’!! Godspeed

    P.S. Wondering if Sandy found her Siesta Scripture Memory verses?

    The new design is so pretty – can’t wait to see all the changes! “Blessed are the FLEXIBLE, for they shall not break.” It will be wonderful.

    I’ve had Melissa on my heart and mind all afternoon and am so excited about her trip to India.

    She’s a good girl, that Melissa, as are you, sweet Amanda!

    Much Love,
