Happy New Year!

Wow it is hard to believe that 2008 is over. We had so much going on that the year just flew by! As I look back on this past year, I have so much to be thankful for that I decided to share with all of you. So, here is my I am thankful list for 2008.

• I am thankful that after two miscarriages we where finally able to have another baby.
• I am thankful that Zachary finally has a brother.
• I am thankful that our beautiful little Nathaniel is amazing the Doctors with his health.
• I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband who supports me, lifts me up when I am down, prays for me, encourages me, and still loves me even on the days when I am on the verge of a break down.
• I am thankful that Robert's diabetes is being controlled with diet, exercise, and medication. Also, now that his diabetes is under control, he no longer has to wear glasses. That's right! The Lord healed is eyes!
• I am thankful that we have five wonderful kids, who each add something special to this family.
• I am thankful for our church family and our friends who continually pray for us.
• Most of all I am thankful for God's mercy and strength. Without it, we would not have made it through.

I hope each of you have a blessed new year. I pray that you find joy and contentment in every area of your life.
