His hand in it all.

It makes me laugh a little when I think about turning 31... It's hard to believe I'll be over 30. I used to think anything over 29 was old!! But man am I excited!!

When I look at my life it makes me smile. A huge smile. I have a husband who is truly my best friend, even after 11 years of marriage. Two wonderful boys who bring me more joy than I could ever explain, the best friends a girl could ask for and an amazing family who I am so blessed to have near.

Last year I really didn't think Id be celebrating my 31st Birthday. But The Lord has once again poured out his blessings on us.

I realize that not a single person is guaranteed another day, let alone another year.  That's a thought that crosses my mind several times a day.

It's kind of ironic that just as I think about celebrating, I received a call tonight that a very special man in my life had a heart attack yesterday. So thankful to God that he is doing ok.

As his wife told me of the days events, we were able to point out the blessings that God had provided that day. How amazing is that?? I just love how good God is. He takes a situation that is so incredibly scary, and comforts us by showing us His hand in all of it. He IS in control and I love to see the ways He continually proves it. It's like He's holding our hand and reassuring us "I'm here, trust me."  I don't know about you but that gives me so much peace. Also makes me very thankful for each and every moment.

 I know that Heaven will be so much better than anything on earth. But I must admit, I'm excited to see what my 31st year holds. Then maybe even 80???

Can't wait to write about turning 32. But in the mean time, thank you so much Lord for for this day. Your mercies and blessings are new every morning.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:16 NIV)
