Good grief, God is good!

Tomorrow is President's Day and the kids and I are going to be at home.  Matt is going to Ashland for staff development.  He is very thankful to actually have a staff development that he has to attend.

I guess it is just one of those day when I am overwhelmed at how blessed we are.  God has been faithful at every turn in our lives.  From the health of our family to providing financially, He has been way better than we deserve. 

God has blessed with that peace that passes all understanding.  No matter what lies ahead of us, I pray that we will always keep focused on the fact that He is so worthy to be praised in any circumstance.   My only concern is that we are not doing enough to live for Him.  I hate realizing that I am so human.  It is frustrating to do the things I don't want to do and to not do what I want to do.  I hate when I lose my temper or worry about the future.  It is amazing that we serve a God that loves us anyway.

We are blessed to be teaching at Batesville and Hickory Flat, for Matt to be teaching guitar lessons and to be working with the youth at our church.  My prayer is that we would do all we can in each of these places to glorify God.  Who knows what the future will bring, but I pray that we would approach it all with grace, trusting God at every turn.

We are coming up to one of the most special times of the year.  Passover, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday are the most important for all believers.  I pray that as it approaches we all would realize what it all means to each of our lives.

God bless!
