Thank you for Boardman. Thank you for a cool breeze on a fall evening walk. The sunset is setting in the sky. :-) Eight-month-old baby strapped to my chest. Your deep faithfulness. Your unconditional love. The joy of watching my kids learn new things and grow into amazing human beings. Lord, I recognize that I struggle to see the miracles in the mundane moments each day. You are the miracle worker. You are worthy of praise. When I am tempted to be discontented, help me to praise. Thank you for your call on our family to the ministry. Would you do something great here in Boardman Ohio with Venture Church? Help me to not quit the race early. I will be content as I praise and I focus on you. This is where I find my joy. It’s in you and You alone.
I turned 38 last Friday. What a special day! Nate surprised me with Orange Leaf, my favorite frozen yogurt place, & a trip to Pittsburgh for Moe’s Mexican food, a Pirates game, & fireworks. I am so thankful for these blessings pictured, but also my amazing friends & family. I am 23 weeks pregnant today & so very thankful that the Lord has settled this “barren woman as a happy mother of children.” Everyday I am overwhelmed at God’s goodness, how He provides and takes care of me & even chooses to give extra special gifts above and beyond like birthday adventures. Thank you, Jesus, for these 38 years. With you in the lead I can truly say that I love getting older! Holy Spirit, with you continually working in me, through me, reminding me, refining me, softening me, & working out your salvation through me, I can say I’m better at 38 than I was at 28. I want to look more like Jesus at 48!
