Thankfulness Thursdays

During this difficult season of our lives, I find that I need to remind myself of all God has given to me. He is working in our lives, even though I don't understand or know the path he has us walking.

So, each Thursday, I'm going to write about something I'm thankful to God for. Some things are life changing, some are simple joys of my life!

Since we just had Valentines day, I'm going to be thankful for MY Valentine!

God gave me such a gift in Tim. I always prayed that God would provide me with a man that loves the Lord and who would love me, despite all my sins!!! God gave me Tim! He loves me and our girls so well. This season has brought many ups and downs for him. Sometimes he feels lost, but ultimately he know that God is in control. I know at the end of this season, we will see how God worked in our lives. More specifically, we will see how God had taken Tim down a whole new path. How God has grown, stretched, provided, loved, disciplined, and shown Himself to Tim! It's exciting to see God working in our lives!

Come April, we will have been together for 6 years! Tim always says to me (almost daily) "Thank you for being my wife". I'm so thankful that he pursued ME.

Thanks babe, for working so hard for our family. I love you!! I am so thankful that God has brought us together! He has great plans for us!

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." I Cor. 13:4-7

Later in the day, we met up with our friends, Dan, Amy and baby Emma. Here's some pics of the day...we were there from 1:30 till 9:00!!!
