our family (immediate and extended). God has used each of them to mold us and

wake up each day next to a godly man who loves the Lord above all else, loves

Day 6: One year ago, Azaryah had a cluster of seizures
while we were in KY. He was not sick, did not have a fever, and was totally
fine up to the point of seizing. Although, his seizure lasted more than 30
minutes and he could not remember who we were for more than 5 hours, God
completely healed him and has allowed him to go one full year with no more
seizures and no serious side effects. I am so thankful that God saved Azaryah.

ladies that I have the blessing of studying God's Word with on Sunday mornings
and Monday nights. I sure love each of those Ladybugs.

have extra money to fix it God has a plan and HE will provide. God's promises

the situation His children can rest in the assurance that HE is working all

that we face. Their purpose is to expose more of the Lord God so we can love
Him more.
Day 16: I am
thankful for the opportunity to invest in my children. There are days that I
feel overwhelmed, tired, and frustrated. There are days when my schedule is
turned upside-down because one or more children need me to focus on sin issues
rather than sticking to our academic schedule. There are days when I fall short
as a wife and speak unkindly or rudely to my husband. But at the end of the
day, I am so thankful for every moment that God has given because HE is
faithful to use everything that happens during the day to open up
"teachable moments" for both me and our children. I am confident that
God who begins a good work in us will continue that work unto completion and
that despite my failures HIS victories/truth will prevail! Being a Mommy allows
me to experience God is ways that teach me humility, dependence upon Him, and
how to ask for forgiveness...It also teaches me to forgive as Christ forgives
me! Thank You, Lord, for the four blessings you have granted to Glen and I.

reach the community with the Gospel. We kicked off our 3rd annual production of
Journey
to Judea last night and it was fabulous! If you are local, I encourage you
to attend. The dates are December 5th - December 8th. I am also thankful that Christ became sin for
me so that I could be free! We serve an amazing God!

vehicles himself. Not only does he save us money but he also is teaching and
training our boys to use their hands to bless their future families.

me out of their lives. Today, we have a pr...
