Counting my blessings

I really should be in bed right now. Sleep is a precious commodity these days and seeing that everyone in the house is passed out I should join them. As I watch my wonderful husband asleep while holding my also sleeping, newborn daughter I am counting all the things I am grateful for.

We have moved from Chicago to Seattle and then from Seattle to Kenosha in a two year time span. We have lived in three different houses and had two children in that same time span. If you were to ask me at what point I was happiest I would say now. If I could capture this moment in time I would freeze it forever. It has nothing to do with money or security. Nothing to do with the house we live in but everything to do with having found a place in life where we feel peace. We are so excited to be back home and at a church that we couldn't love more!

As I look to the future I hope we can continue to put down roots where we are at. I hope that I can be a loving and supportive wife and kind and gentle mother. My biggest prayer at the moment is that we will find the perfect location down the road for our church to continue to grow and meet at. We are very blessed to be at Great Lakes and can't wait to see what God has in store for it!

I could go on about all the things God has blessed us with over the last year but I am exhausted and dreaming of sleep. Tomorrow is my first day alone with both kids and a healing c-section so I am signing off till next time!
