I am wondering where another year has gone. It seems the older I get, the faster times go. Or that I just don't remember things...I believe it is both...
I was reminiscing about the past year trying to sum it up to one thing. The thing that comes to mind is BLESSING.
Despite it being a tough year. Our family has handled it pretty well. The death of my mom. The near death of my dad, our adjustment with our new girls, and my brother being airlifted. In the end, the results of all that has happened, we have been able to see God's blessings.
A few other blessings that happened through the year.. We were reunited with my nephew after 15 years of not seeing him. A dental bill that was obsolete, meaning that our dentist told me he would cover whatever our insurance did not cover. What a blessing.
My dad making it through his accident. My brother getting the help that he needs. Being reunited with a childhood friend. Restoration in relationships..
I guess that is why you can see why I call this a year that has been full of BLESSINGS.
Vacation look... Doesn't he look scruffy????
Mike clean shaven and ready for work.. Maybe...He has such a baby face..
Today is also the end to Mike's vacation. He has to go back to work tomorrow. So he had to shave. I just love when he has a little facial hair. The time off has gone fast.
Well, I want to wish all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and many BLESSINGS of HEALTH and HAPPINESS in 2009.

HMMM, needs the scruffy to be taken seriously as a youth pastor...LOL! Happy New Year and God Bless!
Well I think your right, God does what is best for us and we just need to let him guide us. I'm wishing you a very healthy and happy 2009.
Thanks for your continued support for our family. I'm praying for a little easier year but I'll take what is thrown my way.
Mike does have the spiritual gift Pastor, but if you ask him he will tell you NO! God has not called him to that yet.. We are youth staffers, and he is an elder. They like him with the scruffy, but work (oil refinery) Does not like it... He has 10 years left unless God calls him away from there sooner. Then I can't wait to see where God sends us. I am praying Ukraine.. :D But will go where ever he sends or keeps us. :D
