Weekly blessings...

God is good, all the time! 

This week I had to hesitate in writing about my weekly blessings. It was a tough week for me. As a mom, a friend, a Children's Ministry Director of our church, and as a daughter. If you read my previous post, you know that a young mother from our church was killed in an auto accident this past week and really rocked my world. I found myself asking God why and questioning His ways. After some really silent time just listening to Him and seeking what He has for me concerning this situation, I am finally able to re think about His blessings upon me this past week and can finally write them down. 
  • Our vehicle needed to be looked at. It was making some weird noise in the rear wheel area. Praise God it was completely covered by the warranty and I walked out paying nothing for the repair!
  • How during times of heartache and troubles, God knits us together and uses women of Faith to encourage each other and offer their shoulders and their own tears.
  • A husband that once again, lets me deal with things in my own way, knowing me better than I know myself and letting me work out things for myself; still knowing that he is right there beside me when I am ready to reach out for him.
  • Being a volunteer at our local worship radio station!! I had a blast answering phones during their spring pledge drive. Doing just that little thing for the benefit of God's Kingdom, made me so happy and content, and I met and hung out with some really great people :)
  • Watching my teen girl make JV softball, swing Varsity as a freshman!!! She has been playing since she was 4, playing T-ball and finally all her hard work and dedication is paying off! Kendra, I am so proud of your persistence and dedication, I love you!
So, still praying for this grieving family and thankful to all who are thinking of me and praying for me. I know that God is in control and so glad that this pain here on earth is only temporary and we have something so much better for us in the future!

Hugs!
