He is by far my favorite figure skater! You waited in anticipation to see him do his back flip in nearly every routine BUT did you know he is a believer? I had no idea until this morning when a friend of mine posted this video via Facebook! I was so encouraged as I watched it and I highly recommend you watch the whole thing! What a blessing!
Thankful Thursday! 2-2-2012
Howdy! It’s Thursday again and this week has been sooooohard to try to figure out! Not because i don’t have anything tobe thankful for BUT there is just sooo much for one post!
As I sit here typing away my son just finished watching Veggie Tales. I am so thankful for people who make uplifting and God honoring Media for families. Last week i talked about movies! And that fits into this category too, but it’s notlimited to just that.
Here are somethings our family uses in our everyday lives to enhance our walk with God and keep our mind focused on the Good things as we are commanded to do in Philippians 4.8.

Thankful Thursdays-So much to be Thankful for!

This week has been full of realizations that some things just needed to be changed! Hubby and I have been spending a lot of time talking about what we would like to see change in our family. And though it has been an absolutely exhausting week, it has been an encouraging week.
Yesterday I got to go to our kids school and watch Tornado’s awards chapel! As i sat there and realized just how small their school was I was impressed with the fact that I (Really we) got to choose this for our children. Some of you know that I have had the opportunity to visit a Communist country when I was a teenager (19). At that point I never knew what kind of impact that would have on me BUT now that i am in my 30’s I realize that this trip impacts everyday of my life AND it should!
