Wow - it's been a while!

Wow has it been a while since I have blogged or what? Well this won't be too long but I do hope to get back into the habit of blogging weekly again starting now.

God is very much at work all around me right now. For the past few months He has been having me clean off my plate. I had a lot of good things on my plate...but you know what they say - Too much of a good thing can be bad. I was so over committed in so many good areas I have had to cut way back on things. It's hard. I try not to be deceived into thinking I have failed since I have had to pull back. The only mistake I made was trying to do too much. The cleaning of the plate has not been fun. It has been humbling and eye opening. I am finding now that I eager to see just how far and where God is going to take me on this journey. He is opening my eyes to what the future holds and it is quite exciting.

Let me tell you as well that God is STILL the master physician! Praise Him! Brandy is doing exceptionally well and this has been confirmed by tests. We are in shock and awe. Again, we are humbled as her parents. She has started school and so far it is going relatively well. No new breaks since February and only a couple of scares that have taken us to the ER. God is Good my friends - all the time!

So this is my ever so quick and brief update. There is more to come!

One more thing - as we enter this season of gratitude I encourage you to ponder the idea of making it a year of gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we don't have focus on what we do have! Thank those face to face if you can that take good care of you...send a card if you can't do it face to face. As you pray before meals - encourage everyone to express one thing they are grateful for - no repeats though - something new every day!

Until next week all!
