God's provisions

I am continually amazed at how God provides for us and so appreciate our friends and family. Just the other day we received a gift certificate in the mail for Publix. Matthew 6 talks about God knowing our needs and that He will provide for us and that we are not to worry. Sean and I are going through a season that God is asking us to step out in faith, out of our comfort zone, and trust in God. I am very excited to see where God is going to take us in finding new jobs, where He is taking us in the His ministry and our family. My prayer is that we wait upon Him and hear His direction, not our own.

We had a great Thanksgiving with our families! This was Hailey's second Thanksgiving but the first one that she could actually eat the Thanksgiving food. She wasn't really interested in it though. Neither at my parent's house or Sean's. The only thing she really seemed to like is my mother-in-law's cranberry salad. Oh yes... it is good! Tart and sweet all in the same bite! Hailey was gobbling that up with red chunks of cranberry all over her face. Haha. I should have gotten a picture.

At my parent's house, we talked about what we are thankful for. I am thankful for God and His love and salvation, for my husband, healthy daughter and my family. I am thankful for God's provision and His faithfulness. My husband is just amazing and I absolutely cannot imagine my life without him. He is a caring, giving, loving father and a hardworking, Godly man with integrity that leads our family in the way of the Lord. He is more than I could have ever asked for in a husband and father to my children.

We asked my sister Rachel to take some pics on Thanksgiving...










She did a great job! Thanks Rachel! :)
