well yes i'm behind... go figure!
Gratitude; Day 7 : To be getting better
i am getting better and i have written a lot about this. I am SO grateful to God for helping me to be better, to want to be better and to let go of my past. i am really looking forward to our next series at church on Forgiveness. hopefully it will help me with any unresolved issues.
my prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for showing me that there is a better way, that i can get better and I continue to be excited about the future. I will continue to believe trust you and honor you! thank you Lord for my salvation!! amen
Gratitude; Day 6 : our home
there has been a lot of sermons lately on God's plan for our lives. well let me tell you when vic and i moved to Belmont it was only temporary to live in this house that we are renting... WELL...... it's almost been two years. and it's taken me a long time to be OK with living here.. not because there is anything wrong with this house, it's just because we would love to own our own home with more than one bathroom. but now i understand there is a reason for this "season" of our lives. and i really do like this home, although it may be small there is nothing wrong with it. it makes family time fun.. well the girls really own this house. i only have my bedroom :) which i share with vic. well one day i'll have a work room! one day! i understand that God has planned out my life.. from beginning to end. and i am going to work hard to align with God's plan.
my prayer
Thank you Lord for this house that you have provided for us! i am SO grateful to have a roof over my head. i know that there are so many other people who do not have the many wonderful things that i have. I am grateful that you have provided this house for us for how ever long we need it. to be able to give a safe place for our children to grow up where we can love them and grow as a family. i will always be grateful for this house, these walls, and this life. Thank you oh might Lord, for you are great and greatly to be praised!! amen
Gratitude; Day 5 : my marriage
i am very very very grateful for my marriage. after watching my parents marriage i KNEW i wanted something better than that!! and although my marriage isn't perfect, it has it's up's and downs but i really think we have a good marriage. our love is real!!
we are continuing to create a marriage where God comes first. although Vic and I may be on different paths in our spiritual life we know that we can come together. I truly believe that having God in our lives has made for a peaceful home, the day's where we may have yelled, thrown things or slammed doors are gone (for the most part) We as a couple are getting better, being a better husband and a better wife. I truly believe that my faith in God has allowed me to be a better wife to Vic and working on myself and all my issues have have made me a better child of God. it's a work in progress but i look towards the future.. forgetting the past and living in the moment.. b/c it's HERE and it's mine. I tell my husband that i love him a million times a day... and he always says it too. i don't believe you can say it too much. i like to hear it :)
we will be starting some counseling in the future, not because anything is wrong but just because we believe that it can help us communication better. i think the hardest thing for couples is communication and for me it's one of the things i want badly... good communication. so finding out the best way to communicate with each other will make us a stronger unit. we really work hard to make our marriage good. we've only been married 8 years and i know a lot of marriages that fade after some time, but it truly is important to me and vic that we continue to have a strong marriage as the years go by. I look forward to the future with my husband.
my prayer
thank you dear Lord for my marriage, a marriage that is rooted in faith. a marriage that will continue to grow because of our believe in you. Lord please continue to bless our marriage... and we know that there will be ups and downs but as long as we have your hand on us and this commitment to one another we will continue to be strong. amen
Gratitude; Day 4 : Emma
my sweet emma rose!! i am truly blessed and honored to be her mother. i was scared my entire pregnancy that i wasn't going to get her, to hold her or to love her and watch her grow. i am a worry wart, as my family calls it. and therefore i worried my entire pregnancy that something tragic was going to happen. so of course when i had to have my gall bladder removed at 20 weeks that didn't make things any easier for me. i honestly felt some relief the moment she was born and i heard her cry because i knew i was going to be able to hold her. well that only lasted for a min... i'm a mom... i worry.. i worry about everything you can imagine!! there's a big bad world out there. but..... i'm not that much of a worry wart anymore... b/c of my faith in Jesus Christ.
I love my emma and i am having so much fun watching her. she is so silly and dramatic.. she is almost 19 months old and loves to sing the itsy bitsy spider song.. and i mean loves!! she can't say it but she tries! she loves her sissy and her daddy!! in fact she just recently became very attached to me. she is my dare devil... so i'm sure the "worry wart" in me will come back soon. i could go on and on about her.
my prayer
Lord thank you for blessing vic and i with our little emma rose, your child! we will raise her to know you Lord, to have faith in you and to trust you with all her heart. Please continue to guide us and to lead us to know the ways in which are right for her. I am grateful to you for placing her in my heart to be able to love such a bright little girl. amen
