Still in Awe of Him

I cannot believe the year is almost over. What a year it has been! There have been so many changes in my life. I am truly blessed. The lack of blogging is indicative of all that has gone on... It also tells the story of how truly happy I am. I have found a trusted partner, best friend and blessing where I can hang my heart and confide. This has lead to less writing. I do want to sum up my blessings.
My word for 2011 was FEARLESS. In attempting to live it, God provided many opportunities. Looking at where I was and where I am, I stand AMAZED of a God who loves ME enough to care! The sum total of what I am compared to all that HE has created leaves me in AWE of one so mighty that would consider me.
My job has transitioned to a place where I finally feel comfortable and feel like I am contributing. I feel more like an asset and less of a liability. I can also see the many ways HE is working in and through me here. No doubt this was the choice HE had for me.
My home has moved. I am starting to feel more like I am coming Home rather than sleeping over in someone else's house. Praise the Lord deer season has ended and Roger is more inclined to make some changes. He also showed Valley View yesterday to what appears to be a very interested party. Praying that HE sells the place so the money can be invested elsewhere.
Christmas as a family was wonderful. The girls are settling in and believing this is real and right. I love watching them with Roger. He is such a dream!!
Which brings me to my greatest blessing of this year. What a joy! What a thrill! How simply amazing! We are still living the Happily Ever After and watching how it takes shape. I have nothing about which to complain and everything to be thankful for....who could ask for more!
Thank you El Roi...for seeing where I was and knowing how to shape me and guide me back to the right path.
Awed by His mercy and grace....
