This has definitely been a yr of first… such a great year full of unbelievable blessings… all my prayers answered… I just want to take a second to highlight this year and give God he highest glory/praise… it is truly all because of Him that my dreams come true and that my life is bliss… so here it goes my ode of joy and favorite memories of 2009
- -I shivered in the cold surrounded by a sea of people as I watched the first African American man become President of the United States
- -I saw my name printed in a program with the words Masters of Education following it for the first time
- -I slept on an adult beach and cleansed at a bath house, both were fun first
- - I cultivated life in my wombJ, first time ever had the honor of feeling a love like this
I must admit I am amazed by God’s love toward me… at the beginning of 2009 the Lord told me that this would be a year of increased prayer and giving from me and my hubby… what he did not reveal was that he was going to embarrass us with his goodness… I know that people throw this phrase around lightly so I am going to be a little more specific… my job that could have ended a year ago kept me on for an additional year closing just in time for me to begin nesting… despite all the resumes I sent off I did not get a new job in an elementary school – don’t be sad it was God’s infinite wisdom not to have me round 500+ germ filled touchy feely kids tugging on my immune system everyday… to make room for our sweet addition we sold all of childless couple amenities, including everything in our former IKEA Asian décor guest bedroom and our two door car, on craiglist within the short number of weeks we prayed for it to be gone… But in true God-like perfect timing we were gifted all the baby room furniture, a closet full of super cute girly cloths, plus just prior to the new year’s ball drop, we purchased, in full, a great, low miles, quality four door car perfect for baby toys and vomit – we named her Ms. BettyJ !!! All of our specific prayers answered!
I love you Lord not because of what you do but for who you are… excellent provider and lover… may my life always bring you glory – here’s to 2010 Jesus... out with the old and in with the new....
