Happy New Year


This Christmas Eve, an American mother and baby died during child birth, from unknown causes, but were both miraculously brought back to life. Medical explanations fell short, but the family knew it was divine intervention. Miracles happen all around us. Reading that story touched my heart. It should remind us all that God is in our lives, watching over us.. loving us. My household loves Jesus, and we look forward to our relationship with the Lord growing stronger with this brand new year.
Marcus is consistently doing well at PG. He’s been there for quite some time now. That stability should not be taken for granted in this economic storm that I’ve read and heard so much about. I love him and our lives are richly blessed. We continue to have fun and enjoy our destined role of soul mates. How amazing that we will be celebrating our 4th anniversary in 2010.
I’m doing well, very excited to be applying to the nursing program that I’ve been preparing myself for. I’ve learned that faith and persistence are crucial partners for goals that aren’t easily attainable. With God, locked door after door have been opened for me to pass through. I look forward to learning what God’s plan is for my life, as these informative new months are starting to play out. Will I be accepted into this elite program for which I’ve been preparing? We will see. I certainly feel as though the doors will keep opening, because God has all keys, and I feel blessed.
Our dog with many names: Bently, Westie, Pup, Diesel, Bad Dog, etc. is all grown up at 23lbs! He is on the large side for a typical West Highland Terrier. He’s not fat; he’s our Hercules. As I type, he serves as my cuddle bug, resting his head on my foot. I love that I have a snuggly fur baby.
Marcus & I were able to attend one of my oldest friend’s wedding in November. How great it was to see her. The wedding was beautiful and perfectly planned out. Every detail was so elegant and classy.
Christmas was amazing with our families. I’m so grateful for them, and as 2010 starts ticking, I look forward to more precious and joyful moments. More moments where we all feel God’s grace and love.
