Blessings

Blessing come in all different ways. Twoish weeks ago I ask God to show me the blessings in our life. Here are a few....

  • Grady and Grace being friends. I prayed when I was pregnant for Grace that Grady and the baby would be best friends. I desired that so that Grady would always have a friend wherever we went. God is working on them both to love and enjoy each other more.
  • All of this food was given to us by Union Gospel Church, a church of about 30 members pastored by a teacher at NTBI. The crazy thing, this much food was given to 12 other families here by just 30 members!! It was a huge blessing.
  • Our two healthy children that are developing. It's such a blessing to see our children sitting at the table making real pictures.
  • Friends to eat Baked Goods - Since coming to NTBI, my baking has increased at least 60 fold. I love to bake, but we don't need to eat everything I make. So it's a blessing to have friends that we can take our baked goods too, so we can turn around and make more.

  • Birthday Parties!! We're so blessed to be able to have other children here that Grady and Grace can celebrate their birthdays with them.
  • Amazing Teachers - We're so blessed to have a variety of teachers with a variety of teaching styles. They all know the word so well and teach it in amazing ways. It's always sad to be done with one teacher, but then it never fails, another great one is always to follow.

  • Goodwill..... I needed a new pair of dress shoes for Grace and I found them at the Goodwill that's 10 minutes from our house. They were a huge blessing!
  • Packages from Bluffton - Yesterday we go a card and package from Bluffton. When Grady saw it on the counter he asked who it was for. He was so excited to open it. Inside were coloring books, stickers, candy, and markers. The card had a gas card and a Pizza Hut card in it. What a blessing to have friends that know what we need and know what we like best. Thanks Michelle.
  • Support - We're so blessed to be supported monthly by Hope Missionary Church. It's also always a blessing when people from home support us with prayers, gifts, and their love.

  • Company - We love to have people at our house. We're thankful that we get to invest in the lives of other married students.

 
We are truly blessed.
