Trusting...

I find some weeks are harder than others when it comes to trusting in what God has for my life. And not just my life...my family as well. Money wise things have been more than tight for so long that it becomes very daunting. Is this how God wants us to live?? Does He hear me?? Of course I know that He does. I just get so tired sometimes. But here I am again, waiting and trusting...

The Gala!

Last night my hubby and I went to something that is very out of the norm for us! We got all fancy and went to a gala to benefit the new Memorial Children's Hospital. I was a little reluctant at first. I didn't own anything fancy and had no dress shoes. I also had to be up in Denver the whole day and the thought of coming home and trying to look pretty for that night sounded like too much work! But I knew it was something Adam really wanted to do so I became the supportive wife!! : ) My two best friends helped me pick out a great dress that was super cheap and super easy to find; the first one I tried on in fact! And I found the perfect shoes to go with it...the whole outfit cost me only $28!! Now that's a deal and a steal if you ask me!!
Adam and I had a fabulous and fun night together! It was great to have a break from the kids to eat some yummy food and do a little dancing. We meet some nice people and just had a good time together! My mom the saint, stayed home with our sick kids!! God please do not let her get sick!! So it's not always easy for me to step outside my comfort zone, but this night made me glad I did!!

grateful!

This was the subject of talk at bible study last night. And boy did it get me thinking! I would in general think I'm a very grateful person! But the more I think and dwell on this subject the more I realize I'm not very grateful at all. I'm really going to take the next few weeks a purposefully think on all that I'm grateful for! Here is just a few things I'm grateful for!
My family
my mom
my health
my family's health
our home
the state we live in
my church
my friends

Now I want to start thinking on the smaller details in life that I probably miss each day!
