Good day friends!!

Have I got something so awesome to share with those who still come by to visit. I know of only 2 people but will post this blessing that our family has experienced. Perhaps what I have to say really isn't all that interesting, but this is my life with my thoughts.

Many of the women in Blessings have been praying for Matt for the past few months. Last week he came home from a meeting and said he needed to talk to me. Immediately I thought, "oh, I must be in trouble for something." But nope, I am a good wife and have been behaving...hehe...even with pregnancy hormones!!

Matt started off with "You must have been praying for me a lot". At first, I had no idea what he was talking about. I said, yes dear, i do pray for you daily and so do my sisters from Blessings. He proceeded to go on....He said that 6 months ago, if someone had asked him if he believed in God, his answer would have been I dont know. This I already knew because I asked him back in April if he believed in God and he hesitated and said he doubted God's existence. Well when he was talking to me last week, he said that in the past month his faithhas been restored and that he does believe that God does exist!!! He says after much thought and esp. after our miraculous conception of our little boy, that he is most certain that God is here with us, is protecting us, and blessing our family in numerous ways esp. during this year. So I then asked him"why all of a sudden a change?" And he said, it's not all of a sudden! It's been gradual but God is here with me and has always been even though I doubted his existence for so long. My husband has for the most part always been a good man. He doesnt beat me, put me down, or neglect me...although at times it does feel that way...but it's because he is so busy with work and his business. After we were finished talking, I immediately prayed with him and thanks the Lord for bringing Matt to the light, for getting into his heart and making a change for my husband. This is certainly a huge praise report and can only come from God himself! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Since May, I have been attending church regularly. I started bringing the chidlren with me in Aug. And now Matt wants to come along also!!! Another huge blessing. It's been so long since we have attended church as a family. I've never pushed for him to go with me and now he is more than willing to come with me without me asking him! How awesome is that! Friends, God really DOES answer prayer... in his own perfect timing. It may not be what we want but when the Lord is ready to make a change and bless us, he does! And it is the most wonderful feeling in the world! This year alone, I have been given another chance at life after a suicide attempt, our family has been blessed with a beautiful boy due to arrive in Jan., and now my husband is a believer again!

Matt is currently reading a book titled Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen and has been greatly encouraged by it. I have read the book myself earlier this year and benefited from it greatly. it is a great read for those looking for a good book. For one, my relationship with God has become more intimate and continues to grow in this way daily.

I truly believe that Matt is going through a transformation and it just touches my heart so much to see him join me in the walk of Christ. For some this may not be a big deal, but for us, this is a huge answer to prayer. And this I owe to the wonderful prayer warriors in my life who have endlessly prayed for us, our marriage, and for Matt's salvation. This is just the beginning of beautiful things to come. God is changing our lives in many ways and this is a magnificent way to start. I am ever so blessed to know and love the Lord. For he is my rock and my refuge! Amen and Amen.

That is it for me today. I must go now and prepare dinner for my family and then rest. Thanks for visiting and please come back soon so I dont feel so lonely.

The light in the eyes of him whose heart is joyful, rejoices the heart of others.
