3 years...

So I realized that 3 years ago this month, I started The Gandy's Home Base blog! 

Wow, three years ago...  we were packing up our house in Colorado to be full time in our trailer and rent out the house!  We had one kid and one dog, now we are up to 3 kids, 2 dogs, 10 chickens, 2 goats and 2 kittens!  We have traveled the nation and even the world since then...  Our faith was not a priority in our life or marriage, we didn't really ever attend church.  Now we can not live without ours!

  The blog was for family members to keep track of us on our travels!  Now it is expanded to over 6,000 total views from all over the world, including Saudi Arabi, France, Germany, China, and much more.  I have amazing followers who I love dearly and am so glad you have chosen to follow what I have to say! 

Here is a look back at some of the most popular posts of the last three years.

Is tomorrow really the end?

I am looking forward to what 2012 will be like.  I am going to be working on better content for the blog, being more consistant and posting more challenges and projects along with devotionals and just plain life!

Thank you again for making this blog possible!  I am truely amazed that people actually want to read what I have to say, even when sometimes it just doesn't make much sense!

*just a little laugh for you all, my original post had said 2 years... I think I need to go back and learn some math! :)  *

My Fall Quiet Time Binder

 During my blog hopping from GMG, I came across Three Years Down.  She had a wonderful idea for a Quiet Time Binder!  And well I snagged it! 

I have 5 tabs...














1 John Study through Good Morning Girls

Here we are doing a study of 1 John in 12 weeks.  By the end of this study we will have wrote out the entire book of 1 John.  We are using the SOAP method, and if you are interested in joining us, check out GMG's website.




1,000 Gifts Gratitude Journal ~ this is where, when I get back into the book, I will start my own 1,000 gifts journal.  I love this book, but have taken a break from reading it until we settle in a little more and get our stuff unpacked.


Love Bug Space (my nickname for my hubby) where I have a 31 Days to Build A Better Spouse (a daily prayer journal for your spouse) from 31 Days to Pray







Kid's Space, where I am doing a prayer journal for my kids from Mom and Loving It! Ministries









and
A Proverbs 31 section where I read a Proverb that corresponds to the date of the month.  I just take notes on the verses that stick out to me. 

So a little look into my prayer life... I have found that writing is a little easier for me.  I love the structure of it, how I start at the beginning and just go tab by tab!  If a day is crammed, I know that I can just do my 1 John study, and maybe pray for my spouse or just read a Proverb.
