This morning I came across some notes I had taken last year during my quiet time. The notes inspired me to list all the wonderful things God has done for me in the last year. As I began making my God list I was overwhelmed and blessed at His goodness.

I led my first team to Ethiopia which included my oldest daughter |
|
My sister (far right) survived a rare stroke and aneurysm |
|
Our oldest son has met a wonderful girl! |
You know what I wish? I wish I had taken the time to write down every single time God has blessed me, answered prayers, spoke to me. The pictures above are just a few of the wonderful blessings God has shown our family.
I did however fine time to write a Bucket List of things I would like to do in my life time. Seriously? Oh, humans, we are a curious bunch.
From this point on my God list is my priority. My Bucket list may or may not happen, but I know for sure My God list will, in ways I never could have imagined!
'Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things,
which you do not know.' Jeremiah 33:3
|
This beauty turned 13! |
|
Our ladybug was baptized! |
|
We added two new grandsons to our family! |
|
Our youngest son is home for good! |
|
And he asked his sweet girlfriend to marry him! |
|
Our oldest grandson turned 10, oldest granddaughter 8 and our youngest granddaughter turned 3!
These are just a few of the blessings! Many would call these big blessings, but to me small or big whatever comes from God is good.
In my day to day living I get wrapped up in my own little drama, but for some reason God led me to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 24, which lead me to look at my old notes, which made me aware of how very good and faithful God is.
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Gods for you in Jesus Christ.
The one who calls you is faithful and He will do it.1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 24
Now with all this being said God hasn't answered all my prayers the way I would have liked, but He did answer them. And His answers are never wrong. My life is not perfect and trust me I have my fair share of problems and issues...but God!
