Pouring my praise on HIM!

Long time, no blog....

Life has been happening and today I just wanted to share the many answered prayers and blessings God has poured on our family within the last year.

First, I have a job, one that I love and think was Heaven sent. I work with angels daily on a Special Needs school bus. I never saw this coming, but once again I can say, God knew best. I could no longer watch the heartbreak my husband faced daily at work. The struggle and stress took such a toil on him and we could no longer justify him cutting me a paycheck when things were so strained with the business. So I was officially laid off....the economy took a hard hit and the camping industry nearly folded! We are blessed to be able to keep the doors open at the camper lot as of today and I am doubly blessed to be able to work from home for Tim as needed and work for the county.

Bryson has done wonderfully as he battles on. MANY ups and downs for he, Bryan & Tiffany but I can honestly see where God's mighty hand has been in control. He has them wrapped up tightly in His love and is directing their lives as His will is lived out. Bryson now sports some leg braces from time to time in assisting him as he learns to walk. He was fitted for hearing aids which will not only help with the hearing loss but with his speech. And through it all...that sweet precious child that was also HEAVEN SENT laughs and plays and brings so much joy to our lives. God is good, even when we cant see the outcome or in all the uncertainties of this life, He is good to assure us He is a VERY present help in Bryson's life journey!

My children continue to do well in life....they have their health, roofs over their heads, clothes on their backs and shoes on their feet. They are fed and have transportation, jobs etc. their needs are being met and have many of their wants too! I pour my praise on Him daily for my family, for keeping a hedge of protection around each of them. I am moved to tears just typing about it.

Our family is on the GROW! After the saddness of a miscarriage several months ago, Marshall & Amy learned they are pregnant again. We never know the "why's" of life...but we learn to accept that God knows best. Baby Hall is expected to arrive in Feburary of 2011 and I pray that God touches Amy's body with the health to carry our grandbaby and of course deliver us a healthy new addition to our family!

Today I just pour my praise on Him and as the song says, "like oil from Mary's alabaster box"...praising Him is the very least I can do! I dont ever feel worthy of all the countless blessings in my life but I am eternally grateful that my sweet Jesus continues to pour His unconditional love on me!
