Blessings and bloggings

Even though I am struggling with a few things right now... I'd like to make this an extremely positive blog. (No one likes a whiner, as I always say. So I won't do it in this post at least.)

I was sitting here tonight trying to find somethings that are wonderful in my life.... some things that are truly blessings to me. So, I'd like to share a few of them with you. We all need a reminder some times, right?

Here are some of the few things the Lord has blessed me with this past week.
1. He has blessed me with a healthy life, and abundant life through His eternal salvation.

2. He has given me, an extremely patient husband who continues to just keep quiet and listen. He never condemns, never criticizes, and never puts me down. He truly makes the unbearable, more bearable.

3. He has allowed us to put a bid on a house. During this bid, He impressed the importance on the bank to fix the mold that was in the basement. One thing that we won't have to do, if our bid gets accepted.

4. He has made me extremely busy. (While most of the time this is more of a curse than a blessing... actually all the time it seems to be more of a curse than a blessing... I've been able to appreciate such a fact this week.) I've been too busy to sit and fret or watch the clock while we wait the 2 days to 2 weeks to hear anything about our bid.

5. He has given me great family. Family who when asked gives really great advice, and most of the time when you don't solicit, you don't get it.

6. He has provided a roof over our head, food on our table, and a job (however painful it may be at times) to go to every day.

7. He has also given me one more day with which to praise Him.

8. He helped me find a book that I thought I had lost. I'm so relieved to have found it! That brought a smile to my weary face.

So, what has the Lord done for you? Where do your blessings reside?

I hope that I've been an encouragement to you in some way shape or form. God is good... I just need to stop and smell the roses... and appreciate Him for who He is!

Where were you 4 years ago?

Where were you 4 years ago today?

I know exactly where I was!

4 years ago, I was a very atypical cool, calm and collected bride. (No seriously, I was.... I got a good solid 8 hours of sleep. I didn't even wake up once during the night!)

So happy Anniversary Jeremy! It's been amazing 4 years already. I can't wait to see how God blesses us for the next 4 and beyond! Love you!
