Thankful

The other night I came home to the sweetest message from my friend Tamara. Tamara is such a good friend of mine. We have been friends for 15 years and we have been through a lot together. I am blessed to have such a friend as her. After listening to her message I pondered over what she had said. I asked myself am I really happy with my life right now? I sure am. Don't get me wrong, my life is not perfect. At this time in my life things are really good. My relationship with God is good, My relationship with Kyle is wonderful, Kyle is working hard at his job, we are being consistent with our "Dave Ramsey plan," Allison is learning and growing like a weed, Caleb is getting bigger, our families are all healthy and doing well. My life seems good. I'm not trying to brag or any thing, but it is nice to be in this place of my life.

After speaking at the woman's "life stories" a few weeks ago, I realized how blessed I am. I enjoyed speaking to other woman about my life and the struggles I went through in 2008. My prayer for my life now is for God to use me in any way. I feel ready to give some of my time to his kingdom. In the past I took a break giving my time because my life seemed so out of sorts, not anymore. I know with my anxiety it may get a little crazy or hectic but the Lord is teaching me so much through prayer. He has become my strong hold. I continue to seek Jesus and his guidance in my life. I know I may slip up as a child of God, a wife, a daughter and a mother but I am thankful for the forgiveness and love Jesus gives me.

Forever I have had this verse in my life.

Prv 3:5-6
"trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will lead your path straight."
