Thankful Thursday: 2012 in Review


As we continue our countdown to Christmas, I can't help but reflect on this year and the blessings that came with it. 2012 was a year of change for me (perhaps I'll write about that soon) but it has also been a year full of blessings.
 
I hope you enjoy my picture tour of the blessings of 2012!


1. Protection! My sweet Ethan nearly lost his eye in January.


2. Spending Valentine's Day at the Biltmore House with my loves (I know it's a funny picture with Jason holding the stroller lol).


3. The boys getting their first turkey in April!! This was an answer to prayer for all three of them.


4. My FIRST ever garden!!


5. Family Vacation in May thanks to a dear friend.

 
6. Bittersweet Goodbye to my Cliffs' Family.
7. Seeing Chipper Jones play one last time in Atlanta with my Daddy.
 
  

8. Sweet Tyson. He has grown so much this year!
 

9. Priceless lessons learned from a dear Missionary.


10. A house full of boys! The Lord has answered my boys' prayer this year and given them some great friends!



11. Odd jobs opening up just when we needed the extra money.
12. Last of all and the most important, I am so thankful for the blessing of God's mercy and grace. I could not have made it this year without HIM!

I hope you all can take time to reflect on 2012 and the blessings God has given you, even in the midst of difficult days, He is so faithful!

Have a Blessed Day.

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on.

He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary.

True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
