Posted on by Mary

Wow it has been a whole week since my last post..Not just a Thankful Thursdday post but a post in general. It has been a crazy week for us here….Emotions went wild yesterday..
So on this Thursday morning what exactly am I thankful for….I have a bunch so grab a snack!
1. A God who answers prayer

2. A church family that backs you up with prayer so much that when you feel as though you can’t pray you know someone is!

3. Friends and family who support us in our call to ministry despite the amount of rejections

4. The freedom of speech to be able to share with others what we believe in

5. That my husband and I do not have to hide the fact that we are a pastor’s family

6. That we don’t have to fear for our safety

7. that I have a three and a half year old that is so passionate about being at church. the fire has been lit and we pray it will never go out!

8. a husband who is a great leader and follows the will of God..No matter how much it can hurt at times

9. A god who loves and cares for me more than I can ever imagine.

10. Three great kids who are starting to express just how much they love God..Okay so maybe it’s two out of three!
