gratitude!

it's a huge word, used rarely, holding tons of emotion...

it is something that i'm feeling alot of today. and it is heavy on my heart to share just a few of the many things that i'm grateful for!

1. my supportive husband who makes me laugh, keeps me grounded, and is a vessel of God's love on a daily basis.

2. allie who has such a passion for life. she is full of energy from the bottom of her toes to the tip of her head and if you're not smiling... she will figure out a way to make it happen.

3. caleb who loves to entertain... from jumping, to dancing, to running full force to give you the largest hug. i'm amazed at what God has done and have no words to express how thankful i am to have watched him grow.

4. our home (which is a complete disaster at the time) is a roof over our heads, a refuge for our family, and a place of ministry for each other and friends.

5. science / technology which because of Lord's guidance has changed soo many lives that are precious to me... caleb, tommy, jackie, and nate.

6. my relationship with christ which He has allowed to blossom into something that i can't be without. i'm hungry to hear from Him. i crave His word. my faith has not always been so personal and intimate, but He is teaching me daily to press close to Him.

thanks for letting me share... now, go on, BE THANKFUL!
