Month of Thanks: Days 7, 8 &9


Day 7 of giving thanks: I am so thankful for my husband-the man God gave to me, to be complete and unified with. Josh Milam. We have been together 7 years, and each day I fall more and more in love with him. He works so hard to provide for our family, and he balances my craziness and worrying ways! He is a wonderful husband to me, and the best daddy to our beautiful children.  I don't know where I would be without him. I love him more than he will ever know!



Day 8 of giving thanks: Our sponsored child, Uwimpuhwe Oliva from Rwanda. We received a letter from her 2 days ago, and it is always so exciting to open it and read her sweet words. She loves to go to school and she keeps a journal to record Bible verses that she learns. I thank God for the opportunity to help her through sponsorship and the great privilege of getting to know her! (I'm thankful that wonderful husband of mine that I mentioned on day 7 was moved by God at the Love Worth Fighting For event to begin sponsoring a child)



Day 9 of giving thanks: My job; I am so blessed to have a place to work, with good benefits, good people, and a place where I can study my Bible at lunch and profess my faith openly without fear of discrimination. We have a little family within our department and I am just so glad to be a part of it.
An example is this photo: Our youngest, Colby is going through chemo and has lost his hair; so our guys all shaved their heads in honor and support of him and his journey. Now that is family!

~~Prayer & Moving~~

Hi all my bloggy-friends! People may plan all kinds of things, but the Lord's will is going to be done. Proverbs 19:21 GNT I've got a short post for you today and if things go as planned (which hardly ever happens), I will blog about the first half of Nehemiah this evening after the kids are in bed and the house is quiet :) First off, I need to ask for prayer. My best friend's father is in the Critical Care Unit in Little Rock. He became unresponsive on Sunday evening and has been in/out since then. He is undergoing many tests including MRI, EEG, spinal tap, etc. Please pray for him and his family. Pray for strength, comfort and peace for my best friend Cara. This is a heart breaking situation and I am not able to be at the hospital due to work and family, so the only way I can send my love is through prayer! Thank you in advance dear friends! Also, my family will be moving between the 1st and 15th about 15 miles north of where we are currently. The reasoning behin

All I Need

Very short blog post today, but what a message! This song was my worship time this morning on my way to work. I woke up a little bit late, so I had to rush into getting ready for work and ended up skipping my quiet time, other than prayer while doing my hair and makeup :) This song came on the radio as I was driving. I turned up the volume and sang at the top of my lungs. I am in awe of how faithful and wonderful the Lord is. With one hand lifted and the other on the steering wheel, I communed with God singing the words below....most importantly, "You're more than enough for me. Jesus, You're all I need."  Can you feel His presence today in your life? Can you see His glory everywhere you look? I don't need all of the riches of this world or high status...I only need Him. I only want Him! Give Him your worship today. Don't worship this world and it's deceiving modern day idols... Jesus alone is deserving of our everything! You hold my every moment
