I have a question.... how many of us have taken the time to list 7 things about ourselves that most people don't know???? How about we start counting our blessings? ok, so my idea is this... I am going to list 7 things we have seen God do for us lately, and I am going to "tag" seven other people to do the same..."Count your blessings name them one by one, counting your many blessings see what God has done"
1. Visits from home...We go to the airport tomorrow to pick up my mom who will be here for 2 wks. And we recently found out my mother-in-law and two families from our home church will be coming to visit in May!!!
2. Church services... may sound weird, but I have a hard tiime staying in church, not because I am that carnal, but because we do not have a nursery. So when Sergio cries or is hungry, etc. I miss out. Last week I got to stay in Sunday and wed. evening services.
3. Saturday morning prayer...the members of the church in Alcala are meeting every Sat. morning at 9:30 for prayer, God has really met with us each time.
4. God's provision...sometimes we forget to thank God for His goodness, Alberto still has not been able to get a job, but God's provision for us has been astounding! We have never been without the things we need.
5. Sergio is gaining weight well and growing. Things are settling into a nice routine now, biggest blessing in this one is that most nights the little guy lets me sleep at least 6 hrs straight and sometimes as much as 8!!!
6. My husband...is a very dedicated man, it encourages me to see how faithful he is in his daily walk with the Lord, it challenges me to do the same! even when it is difficult it is sooo necessary to have time with God every day!
7. Family...when we left the States it didnt seem soooo hard, and I can honestly say I have never really felt alone or lonely, God has provided us with a wonderful church family as well as the blessing of Alberto's family (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, etc.) here. They are all so kind and I am so glad when we are able to spend time with them.
Now here are the 7 people I am tagging to do this,
Pilar Stark
Dani Joy
Arancha Staples
Ingrid Ingram
Deanna Andrews
Jill Boyd
Juanna Clanton
Join in the fun of sharing your blessings!!!:)
