GOD is sooo Good!

Have you ever felt like ya just don't tell God often enough how thankful you are for Him? I feel this way all the time. So here's my solution, I'm going to blog about how amazingly glorious our Creator is! My prayer is that through this process I will draw nearer to the one who loves me unconditionally and wants only to use my life for His greater good.

I love song lyrics. They make me cry, laugh and love. This is what's playing right now...
No heighth, no depth could keep you from my love. No thing you could ever do. No place is to far to keep you out of reach. Nothing can keep my love from you.
How awesome is that! My God is always with me and always loving me! How unworthy I am but how grateful I am for this gift.

One of my greatest weaknesses is insecurity. I feel unloved, unliked and alone. I know this is so untrue but there are times I take my eyes off of God and Satan comes right in to feed these lies. God gave up His Son for my salvation-how much more loved could I be? He made me in His own image-how much more liked could I be? He sent His Spirit to live in me and to never ever leave me-how much more unalone could I be? I am so thankful for His love.

This has been one of the hardest weeks of my teaching life. One of my former students passed away this weekend at the age of 10. He was an amazing child. I taught him in Kindergarten and in 1st grade. I was so blessed by his giving nature, kind heart and sweet spirit. His life was short but he impacted so many. I'm searching for the peace that passes all understanding. His family has lost so much this year. His mom lost a baby a year ago, he passed away Saturday and she miscarried a baby girl on Monday. My heart goes out to them all. I pray that they will draw near to God for comfort and that He will show them how to comfort each other. They have 4 other children as well. I pray for each of them to have people that they can run to for support. Yet through all of this I am reminded of how God has numbered our days and He alone knows the plans He has for us. This sweet child blessed everyone he came into contact with. The love of God shined through him each day of his life. This family has been through so much grief yet they stilll rely on their Maker for comfort and love. I am so thankful for God's plan for our lives.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for about a year now with no luck. I've had surgery and we have been on fertility meds for a couple of months now. As you could probably guess, I'm struggling with this. I feel like a failure as a wife because I can't give my husband the one thing he truly desires. I know in my head this isn't true but I still haven't been able to convince my heart of this truth. This is why I've learned not to put my faith into my feelings because they can be sooo wrong. Today I'm choosing to believe the TRUTH. I have not failed my husband. God IS in control of our lives. His plan is what is best for us. With or without a baby we are still an amazing family with God at the center of it all. God will carry us through this.

I am so thankful for God. He is sooo Good! All the time!!
