Blessed!

Blessed beyond measure.

That is the only way I can describe my life.

I have a wonderful, more-handsome-by-the-year husband.  Five beautiful, respectful (most of the time) and healthy children.

I have a job that I believe I was created for...  And a God who never quits on me.  I do not always follow Him - or heed His warnings.  But, I am always deeply loved.  I am always protected, and never forgotten.  How amazing is that?

We have a lot of hard things to face ahead as a family.  We are in over our heads in many areas in our lives.  We have a lot of things to figure out and a lot of things we wish we could wiggle our nose and make disappear.  HOWEVER, God is going to help us rearrange our lives to look like He desires because He is so concerned with our hearts and because He loves us perfectly.   Perfectly.  Without flaw.  Everything He does is good.  Everything He desires for us is good - and no matter what it looks like on the outside, that is the Truth from the depths and riches of the Word of God.

I adore this Savior who adored me first.  I am enthralled by His love and I yearn to spend more of my days telling Him how much He is worthy of my praise!

Life is never easy, but God’s grace is sufficient.  Today, find a few things to thank Him for - even if you have too look really hard at your life.  Make a small list and build on that.  Each day look for the thing that is His reminder to you that He is still there.  He is.  He sees you and He loves you, no matter what choices you have made.

Be blessed!
