Happy New Year 2008

Some years go by and not much seems to happen, things stay sort of the same… same routines, same friends, same family, job ect… and some years are just a deluge!!! For me that was just that sort of year….so I could whine about it or just be thankful!

I am thankful for: All of the people that love Jesus that extended mercy and grace to me… in spite of my pitiful attitude (at times.)

While learning tough lessons about God’s grace, those that stood by me when I was still struggling to let go of some sin…

brothers and sisters in Christ that have become family.

Every need that I had that God has met abundantly.

Friends that actually Pray for me, (not just say they do.)

People that are hurting that God placed in my path this year to show me that I am not alone.

Pastors and teachers that have answered God’s call to minister to people like me in spite of it being one of the worst jobs anyone could be called to …. lol! (it amazes me who God uses to lead His church)

The fact that God adopted me…. and gave me someone to adopt. (that was my hearts desire and I was his…:)

God’s absolutely perfect providential will for my life. WoW!! How he works things out in the most amazing ways.

How my Son’s have prayed for me and my Husband, (sweetest words I could ever hear them say.)

How God has protected my marriage, in spite of the stupid things we do and say… (my husband claims he never says anything stupid… how stupid is that?)lol!!!!!

A husband that loves Me, and his family.

People that call me “friend”

Answered petitions, so fun to see God work…..

Mostly I am thankful for trials that God allowed me to endure this year…. and they were doosies… , because I am sure now that I can trust Him fully and hide and rest in Him completely ……and I don’t need anything or anyone to meet the needs that only He can meet…

May 2009 Bring you great JOY in the Lord.
