I can't stop praising the Lord!

I am overwhelmed with thankfulness, and so this post is for praising our Father and our King for all He has done in my life.
Family: I can't believe I have such a AWESOME husband. He is so generous, loving, gracious, intelligent, strong, and true. He serves me and the kids and loves us with his leadership and open arms. My two beautiful boys who make me feel like I'm on top of the world when I see their smiles. Quick I need to pinch myself. Could it get any better? Yes it does!

Church: I am so thankful for my church and its willingness to search God's heart and seek His will and the willingness to do it! The pastor's obedience is leading us to amazing things. I think God is moving and shaping people and destiny there!!! He preached from Colossians today. And wow did it make me thankful. 1:13-14 "He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His Love!!!! in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." I am telling you I needed that deliverance from the power of darkness!!! And I am so thankful, He has brought me far far from that darkness into His light!!!! A once broken, abused, worthless, forgotten girl is NOW a new creation and daughter of the King. That makes me want to dance, scream out, cry, and fall on my knees all at the same time.

Friends: Where can I start...for all those who have walked with me to help me become who I am today--thank you and thank you, Father. In Tennessee, God has given me amazing friends who love me and hold me up--praise the Lord. Melody (who loved me and my children before she really knew me), Alisha (who God has placed in my life for just the right time to support each other), Sara (my sister who has walked the long, agonizing walk with me as a working mom), Amanda (my new sister who encourages me to get into the word and mommy world), Trisha (who has mentored me and held me up in tough times), Cindy and Duane (my neighbors who feed us regularly with their delicious "extra" food), Candice and Jeff (our fabulous neighbors who have two boys too and share in our joys and tough times) , and the many others who deserved mentioning. God knows and may blessing be yours for your love and kindness.

Praise God for people like Troy, Heath, and Thomas who stayed at our house from 5:30 pm until 2:30 am last night fixing our pressure regulator valve under our house FOR FREE!!!! See picture below.

I could go on, but my boys are up from their nap. One last thing I need to say, I know that life is "good" right now, but God is equally worthy to be praised when tough times come. Remind me of that when the time is here. I know I'll forget.

ALL PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!
