God has blessed us incredibly - I love him more today than I did 10 years ago and I would rather spend my time with him than with anyone else or doing anything else!
One thing that surprises me is how many changes have happened over the 10 years - here is a quick list: (I will add to it during the week as I think of more)
- 2 kids
- 2 dogs
- our 3rd house - same town
- changed churches
- we began to use twitter, facebook and blogs
- I went from teaching full time to stay at home mom to working part time evenings
- my mom and dad have both passed away
- we are each on our 3rd car or so...
- we gave away a car and a van to the same couple - approx 3 years apart
- we visited ohio, florida, and myrtle beach and don went to India
- both kids have asked Jesus into their lives and hearts
- we have each gained 20 pounds and lost it again
- we have made some great new friends
- we have lost touch with some old friends
- we have watched more than one set of some good friends divorce
- we have seen family members divorce
- we have been both blessed and challenged by God
What I know is that God has plans for us over the next 10 years - plans I can't dare to imagine!
My plan for the next 10 years -- to trust HIM - with my life, my marriage, my kids, my parenting - with it all. Even though it can be overwhelming for me - I know that nothing is too big or too small for my God.
