You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.(Psalm 4:7 ESV)

I have to admit that my life is not perfect, but I rather look at the good things the Lord has blessed me with. We all have challenges in life; some are more severe than others. But if I focus on the negative aspects of life, it can get me really down. So, here are some positive notes in my life and that I am very, very thankful for.

  • Of course the love of my Lord, Jesus. I know that you have had those moments. One second you grin from ear-to-ear, and the next second you shed tears, because His LOVE powerful floods over you (or maybe it just me)
  • My marriage – it is by no means perfect, but it is awesome to be married to a man who takes me for who I am. He does not agree with me on everything, but that is okay.
  • Incredible friends who encourage and support you making your dreams a reality. The best part is when friends pray over you. It gives me peace.
  • Fantastic authors, like Tessa Afshar, Liz Curtis Higgs, and Joan Wolf. They bring His Word to life. All of them focus on the women in the Bible. And I enjoy that greatly.
  • And my portrait photography brings me great joy. I love seeing smiles on the faces of my clients when I drop off their orders.
