I can't even begin to count the multitude of kindnesses God has shown to me, especially these last 9 months. I have been home for NINE months now! Can you believe that? I am amazed. And in that time, I have rediscovered my husband, I love him more than I ever thought was possible, I am fighting for my marriage against a very powerful enemy, I found the Cross, and God's blessings have been pouring down and me and my family.
I finally got a good job that is actually quite stress-free, and in retrospect, I see now why God placed me in this company, with this job. I needed something low-key as Kris and I continue to heal and I continue to grow spiritually. I also needed something that would "work with" my constant pain, and if I were in a more stressful environment, the pain (no doubt) would be even greater. Kris' business is finally beginning to get the growth we've been praying for, so maybe in a year, we'll be able to put the kids back in private school. Keep praying for that!
But one of my favorite blessings is all the amazing music I have discovered along the way. I got to see Chris August perform "Battle" and some of my other favorites at the TobyMac concert. More recently, I had the chance to see Matt Maher and Brandon Heath perform. Friday night was a night I had been eagerly anticipating. The songs by both of these men have moved me to tears on multiple occasions and filled my heart with hope and joy and peace. I have loved their music and was happy to have the opportunity to go with my mother-in-law and son to this concert. We had been planning it since the concert was announced, and I was really looking forward to it.
