Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for all the miracles You have done in my life... there have been so many in the past, but even more since we've been following You on this path toward planting a church... even before we knew that's what we would be doing. We've continually been amazed by Your goodness and provision to us... and even when times have been tough, You have shown Yourself in the most amazing ways: a gallon of milk on our doorstep after we prayed for some the night before... $400 worth of Cub food gift certificates sent in the mail with no return address and signed "from the Lord"... some of our curriculum bought for us... a car that a family is loaning us for the year Mike needs to drive 30 miles to work... the monthly financial commitments for the next three years for our future church plant... food that people have blessed us with... and most recently, money for snow tires so Mike didn't have to sell his guitar.
Lord, You have been so good to us. I'm so sorry for the times when I have doubted... I'm sorry for the times when I have worried. You have proven Yourself somanytimes. You are in control even in the midst of my chaos and turmoil, and Your miracles are amazing to behold. Thank You for showing us Your greatness and surprising us in ways we could never expect.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
