Ok... So, I just have to brag a bit on God today. I know you all have read and seen what last year was like, so I am done posting about it. But I think it is funny how when you give something to God all the way, He loves to remind you how much He loves and cares for you. :)
Wow. What a week. Since Saturday I have been having such a blessed week.
Saturday we had a Church CPR awareness class for all the nursery and youth workers. Since I help in the nursery and also with the Jr. Church and with the Teenagers, I needed to be there. They purchased a DVD set with a few practice dummies so we could learn the basics of CPR. I have been certified in the past so it was more of a refresher. But it was good.
The first video started off with a story about a baby that had stopped breathing a couple days after she was born. I held back the tears. That baby girl survived. When it came to practicing on the little baby dummy, I broke down and cried. It was a bit intense. After a few moments I was able to practice CPR and then I sat down in my chair. After that I had a good time and fellowshipped and laughed with my friends.
I think this was a bit therapeutic. It helped me to see things a little different.
Later that day we had some friends over for dinner and had such a good time. :) I love having people over to my house. It is such a blessing for me to cook for others. We have not had people over in a while due to my "morning" sickness (so glad that is over). I am blessed with some pretty awesome friends.
So, on to Sunday. I love Sundays. I had not been able to go to church the previous 2 weeks due to children being sick. So glad they are all better. What a blessing it was to be in Jr. church with my hubby. We have so much fun doing ministries together.
Then we had the Super Bowl party at our clubhouse and had such a good time. I was not feeling super because I guess I caught one of the bugs my kids or someone else had. But I just got to sit and enjoy everyone else. So many people helped to get things set up and then clean up. I didn't have to do much of anything. What a blessing to me. So, THANK YOU! to everyone that helped, I know who you are and you are super awesome. :)
Then Monday comes and all I can say is God is so good! A wonderful and amazing person stopped by to give us gifts from God. She dropped off pork chops, tomatoes, a roast, frozen waffles, sausage, oranges, avocados, garlic, eggs and a ham and a gift card (I know I am forgetting something). OH MY SOUL! All I could think was someone more deserving should be getting this. But my God decided I would get it. :)
Then we got to go to the Baby Dr. :) Baby is growing healthy and strong. My boys got to go with and got to hear the heartbeat. Thomas thought it was the coolest thing ever. He kept making the swooshing noise like the doppler makes. The Dr. had him listen to my heartbeat and babies so he could hear the difference. :) I am starting to feel movements almost daily.
WOW! What an amazing week so far... But that is not the end.
The first Tuesday of each month is TLC- Touching Ladies for Christ. Our Pastor's wife, Rebekah puts this together to encourage the ladies of SVBC. I love this time with the other ladies of our church. They are all amazing and wonderful. You get to know each other on a deeper level at this Bible study. I also got to tell a little bit about my testimony. I cried of course. LOL! I talked a little bit about growing up, meeting and marrying my hubby and then about last year. I revealed a lot of my struggles which most of it I had never said out loud before. I kept it inside for so long. I think it benefited me more than anyone else to be real and honest with these women whom I have come to love and become such good friends with.
Then today comes... I am still not feeling well, but I don't want it to keep me down. I am really trying to keep up with housework and such. I don't want to just lay around anymore. LOL! I was checking my email, paying some bills and then I hear a car pull up... And then the blessings just kept coming through the door. More food blessings... What?!?! I was thinking today, I really want mashed potatoes (none in the house) but I was prepared to stop at the store for a few spuds, but now I don't have too. Plus so much more that I am just amazed. I don't even know where to put it. I am just overwhelmed with emotion. I can't even explain it. I don't even know what to say.
What a week... And only half done?! God, You are so good!
...my cup runneth over. Psalm 23:5
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Mal 3:10
Thanks for sharing your blessings. :)
