Thank You God

I've had so many blog post ideas running around in my head lately, but no time to write them down. I want to do an update on Aspen, Journey and the pregnancy, not to mention, all the other things we have been doing lately.

But today, I just want to keep it simple. I have realized that what I love most about going to church is how I am reminded of how deeply, deeply thankful I am to God for his love and grace on my family and marriage. Honestly, as I worship, all I can think about is how thankful I am, and am brought to tears each week. Five years ago we were at a cross-road point in our marriage and things could have easily gone so much differently.

I am so thankful for God's faithfulness. At that point, I could never have imagined how happy I could be again. It has been a lot of work, but God has truly done a deep healing in our lives and marriage. God has given us our kids and so much joy in just parenting and watching them grow. Yes, they can be frustrating and there are bad, stressful days, but over all, what we keep coming back to is the joy they bring and how much fun we have spending time together as a family.

So, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you God.
