1. My husband....I am so thankful for the man that God has given me to share this life with. Jeff and I will be celebrating our 8th anniversary in May and I can honestly say that I fall more in love with him with every passing year. I love you, honey!
2. Being a Mommy....I am so thankful for the privilege of being a Mommy! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Aaron has promised me that he will always be my baby and will never stop giving me hugs. I'm holding him to it! Right now he says he will never leave home and that even when he gets married someday, he plans on living with us. I will have to remind him of that a few years from now!
3. A church family....The Lord has allowed us to be a part of a wonderful church family over the last 6 months here in Madrid. They have been a source of encouragement to us in so many ways. We have had such peace in knowing that this was God's will for us at this time. It won't be long before we will be starting a work of our own, and we will always treasure this time we have shared with our church family here in Madrid!
4. A godly family....grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, siblings....I am blessed that most everyone in my family is saved and serving in the ministry. I am a 3rd generation missionary. What a godly heritage!
5. True friends....Good friends are far and few between, but when you find them you are blessed! God has blessed me with true friends that I can count on when I really need them and I pray that I would never take them for granted.
6. A faithful God.....I serve a God who gives strength when you need it. I have experienced that often, especially over the last 4 years, as the Lord has chosen to make us wait at this time as we pray that He would allow us to have more children. It may happen someday, but the Lord is teaching me to be content when He says yes and when He says no. I object to His will many times, but when I surrender to Him, He is always faithful and gives me strength, peace, calm, rest,....just when I need it.
7. My family.....My parents are here and my sister, brother, sister-in-law and nephew are coming. I know that being able to work along side your family on the field is not at all a common thing. I thank the Lord for this and often. I am truly blessed!
