Thankful Tuesday

Oh so much to say today but for now...

I am THANKFUL to God that...

 1) My brother is doing better! After 15 days in the hospital, he is out and doing well!

 2) Hebrews 13:5b- God will not ever leave me without support.

3) Forgiveness.

4) That HE is worth it all. -Ben Cantelon

5) Isaiah 43:1-3- These flames will not consume me.

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 

Colossians 2:7

A visit from Kimberly

Sweet Kimberly came to visit last week. We had such a great visit. We went to bible study and on Tuesday night we went out to eat and just spent some good quality time together. We spent a lot of time talking about the stuff going on in our lives and how we firmly believe that God is going to work it all out for our good and His glory.

I have cherished all the great time with my house guests this month. I feel like we hardly have anyone here and then everyone came in July! It was so so fun! I can't wait to see Kimberly again soon! So thankful for this memory.

Thankful Tuesday

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!
Psalm 100:4

Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. 1 Thes 5:18

Cedar Point

We had the opportunity to take the college students to Cedar Point this weekend. We had such a fantastic time. I really enjoyed getting to know some of the girls better and just getting to have fun with everyone.

The girlies stayed with a sitter and I missed them so much! I know they will have so much fun at Cedar Point one day! It reminded me of taking Adelyn last year. She had a blast! I can't wait to take them back!

So thankful to God for this time. What a great memory.

Visit from the Picketts

 I was so blessed to have a visit from my dear friend Brittney. She was my college roommate and such a special friend. We had no idea we were matching on Sunday, I went to church early to practice and she came later with my mom and we were totally coordinating. I guess great minds think alike. :)

 Annabelle and Courtland watched some Angelina Ballerina together.

 The girlies are so so sweet together. I loved that they got to play together.

 I got some good snuggle time in with this sweet sweet baby.

 And the girls loved playing with BT.

BT led worship for our church on Sunday and it was a great time. So thankful for time with best friends. Forever friends are such a gift from God! I cannot wait to see how much the girls love playing together the more they grow up and I will live vicariously through Brittney in the boy world she gets to enjoy ;)
