Blessings

Happy New Year to everyone! 2007 was a year full of blessings, trials, fun, and especially God's never-ending healing and grace! Here is my list of 2007's Top Ten Blessings...in no particular order.

• Gracie Claire turned 2 on Valentine's Day and continued to fill our over pouring hearts with complete joy. She has grown in so many areas and we love seeing all of the little ways that God is using her already! She is the best and we couldn't ask for more!
• Sydney Hope was born on February 15th and showed us just how possible it is to have enough love for two. She is a little light in the darkness and we have loved getting to know her throughout this first year. She is also the best and, again, we couldn't ask for more.
• Paul and I celebrated our 6th anniversary in May. We've been together for almost 9 years now and the time has flown by. 2007 has shown me what a gift Paul is in my life! He is the perfect one for me and lifts me up daily. He is our spiritual leader and the best husband and Daddy to our girls that I could've ever imagined!
• Paul started a new job with Fidelity Investments this year and it has been the perfect fit. Another example of God's perfect provision!
• My parents celebrated their 32nd year together in October. Through all of their ups and downs, they have always stayed faithful to the Lord and He has blessed them. Their marriage is a true example to all of us!
• Caleb and Sandra were given Samuel Luke in June. He is the sweetest little boy who has blessed their lives tremendously. We are so proud to have him as a part of our family!
• Nkere and Gracie will celebrate their 2nd anniversary in February. Gracie continues to bless the lives of the little ones that she works with. She loves what she does with those kids and they love her for it! Nkere was blessed with a teaching/coaching position this year and he is also blessing many young lives.
• Our nephew, Parker, turned 3 in April and is a sweet, growing boy who is full of energy! We are so proud to have him in our family!
• Our friends and family have continued to be true strength and Godly examples for us in 2007. We have been so blessed to have been given the people that we are closest to. It would be a lot harder without them.
• God has shown his tremendous healing power in our lives this year! He is SO faithful and can truly work miracles. (I know I'm being vague, just go with it!) :o)

We hope that your 2008 is full of God's many blessings, healing, miracles, and faithfulness.
