Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:4-7
Today I am especially thankful for the work that God has been doing in my heart this past year. He has led me to some great resources--books, friends, online messages and articles, and blogging--that have been such wonderful encouragement. Through prayer, scripture memory, daily Bible reading, a day of thankfulness, and marriage goals my heart has been renewed and (most days) a real peace that passeth all understanding has filled my life.
Now I have great expectations for the Lord to do the same kind of work in my family. I just have to let go and let God do the work. And I'm already thankful for His good, pleasing, and perfect plan for our lives and the work He has yet to do.

We had like minded thankful hearts this morning! Isn't it great when we can see the hand of God working in our lives? Have a blessed day!
Yeah, isn't it something to just stand back and watch the Lord work!!! Have a blessed day.
Bless you sweet one.
I am also a quality time person. Now that we have two kids and getting away is harder, we have learned to do a date night after the kids go to bed without ever leaving the house. Its fun!! Thanks for sharing your TT list!
I particularly like it when you mentioned the "let-go-and-let-God" thing. I agree with that. Happy TT.
God is so good to lead us to things that make us more like him. God Bless and congrats on #2 on the way!
