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.

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers)  As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...

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. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...
