Daily Prayer

Our prayer for today...

That we can regain our center. That our focus, especially mine, would not be consumed by what we don't have, but would be overwhelmed with the vast blessings that the Lord has given us.

So many wonderful things have gone on these past couple years, and a lot of it has been over shadowed by my intense focus on the one thing that didn't go right. The one thing that my heart longs for that I didn't get. 

Lord, help me to be consumed by You, and You alone.

I am grateful for the blessings!

In the last 2 years...

We traveled to a number of places...including Africa

We bought a house, an amazing house that we love and appreciate every day.

That same house is a place where we feel completely comfortable and we never want to leave it

We celebrated the birth and adoption of friends babies

Celebrated new nephews

Regan got a new job

We have had wonderful times with both our families at Holidays and on vacations

Regan and I have learned to depend on each other more and grown closer

We have become more active in our church and developed deeper relationships with our friends there

We have bought bicycles and ride all over our neighborhood

We hosted Fall Fest 2011 

Our house truly is a place where people want to come and feel welcomed

Dixie...well Dixie is just amazing

We have had wonderful time with our friends on trips to the mountains, football games, golf tournaments

Regan and I developed a love for antiquing, flea markets, and bargain hunts

Regan and I can go anywhere at any time and not worry about it

I have a job that I enjoy and don't ever mind going to

We have no need to worry about where our next meal will come from, we have food

The really hard times have revealed the deep deep love and support of our friends...

We have great health in general

We have a great community group

We have family that lives close, that we see on a regular basis and love dearly

This list could go on and on...

What a great reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and a neat opportunity to see His hand in my life when I have felt forgotten for a long time.

Patiently Praying.

Much Love-
