 28 Feb, 2025

A lot and yet a little has occurred since my November 2024 posting. I have been researching and learning about Alzheimers and Dementia. I have had three meetings in my home which consisted of 4 people, 5 including me, with the last meeting having a speaker with demonstration tools. 

I have designed and re designed a log, business cards, made office and book purchases trying to get ready to lift this off the ground floor. Fran and I named the group Cactus Connections of Yuma, Arizona. I like the word connections in the title as that's what I'm trying to do, to connect people who need this service.

The meetings are scheduled for the first and third Wednesday of every month. The problem I'm having is I can't advertise much since we are meeting in my home because there is only room for parking two or three cars. I'm on the lookout for a place to use besides here.

There is a home for sale across the street from Fran. It's a nice 2 bed, 2 bath home with a lot f parking room and a covered drive, as well as a good size shed in the backyard. They are asking $215K for it.

I have felt since I saw it for sale, that God is going to provide me with that home. I have asked for and have been declaring it by faith, that He will supply me with it completely debt free, no cost to me, for the use of this ministry. I have seen "visions" of myself standing in the kitchen and master bedroom, while living there. I can sense it in my spirit. Do I have questions and doubts? Some...  Am I standing in faith and belief?  As best as I know how... It has been a struggle within me, but God's word says there will be struggles and toils, but not to be tempted with how the world would look at this. 

Cactus Connections of Yuma, AZ. will be a viable entity. I have seen myself before 100's of people, on a platform, talking and being obedient to God's direction. I'm hanging on to that "vision" and not letting go. It has been a battle, but victory is my view from this valley. 

To God be all glory!  As for me, I believe.

Where to start? In 2012, I began blogging with a friend so we could share our lives with one another in a way that was a little less boring that writing letters. I recently re-discovered that blog and reading it inspired me to try this again to get my thoughts and feelings out for learning more about myself. It's so much easier to write about things and feelings than it is to talk about them. Words seem to flow so much easier on a keyboard. This is Steven Harley Woodard, my husband of 33 years, and 135 days. He was 68 years and 16 days old when cancer of the esophagus took his life. As you can see, he was a man of personality. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make you laugh. He loved hunting and shooting, gardening and watching the seeds he planted and cared for turn into something he could harvest and enjoy. He loved people and could start and keep a conversation going with anyone he came across. It didn't matter if it was in a grocery store, while walking hi...

 26 April 2025  I'm still standing in my faith that God is working miracles on my behalf. The house on 33rd Lane has had several open houses, and has been seen, but not by many people. It has been on the market for close to a year in a neighborhood that is sought after, and still it waits to be owned by me and God, or maybe I should say God and me. I've been keeping my eyes open for other homes that call to me, but there's always something wrong with them and they just don't fill my wants. I don't know how God is working things out, but I KNOW that He hasn't forgotten me. His timing isn't mine, His way of thinking isn't like mine.  I'm still cleaning out things that I don't need, rearranging things on my shelves so I can see more things that should be moved out. I sold June's sewing machine that I've kept since she passed. I sold it to a young lady, maybe late 20's, who seemed so excited to be getting it to start learning how to quilt...

 27 October 2025 Well, October is almost gone and soon it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then another new year will be birthed.  Year 8 since Steve's been gone is almost completed. It ends April 16th, 2026. I have waited, prayed, expected in faith for the new beginnings that the Lord spoke to me about in 2025, but so far each attempt to step out into where I thought He was leading me has not produced a change in circumstances. I packed my entire house except for enough to daily live with and put my home on the market. When a place to move to didn't work out, I took it off the market, and unpacked every box. After unpacking I had 9 boxes and 2 bags of stuff to give away along with some furniture. It seemed like the whole process was a lesson in slimming down. Cheryl is still in Idaho in the same house, and I'm still here waiting to see what God has in mind. Each time I come to the belief that I know what God is telling me to do, I seem to either misunderstand the step...
