When I stop and think back over all that has happened in the last 15 years it seems unreal. Things were so difficult at times and yet we made it through. God has been very faithful in getting me through each situation that comes up. And just like the Israelites -after being rescued from Egypt--I often forget just what the Lord has done for me. I was a stay at home mom of two who was suddenly faced with supporting herself and her children without many marketable job skills. Iwas faced with applying for government assistance finding work and trying to keep my mental and emotional sanity. God provided friends through a 12 step program to help me get by. They walked with me through each obstacle as it came up. I was not alone even though at times I felt like I was. Sometimes I just didn't recognize the help that God was sending me. You see, God knew from day one what was going to be needed to develop and nurture His child. He saw me when I was born, he saw the situation I was born into, He was with me as I grew up and He knew there was a lot of work that needed to be done to get me to where He wanted me. Wow--He is awesome. Thank you God for helping me to see things through the right lens. I have a choice--He gives me that--every day I have a choice to make and thank God that He doesn't give up on me. I know I must try His patience many times, I must hurt Him with my lack of trust and respect for who He is.
Lord, help me each day to become more and more of who you want me to be.
Thank you for opening my eyes to who you are.

I wanted to thank you for the encouragement you have been to my mom over the last couple of weeks. She speaks of you often, even though she's only met you once. We know that you have been praying and appreciate it so much!
