Day 3: Romans 8:28 .. out of a mess, He brings good!

Day 4: The Word of God... which is alive and active... never ends... leads, guides, comforts, encourages, enlightens and so much more!

Day 5: My sweet husband... no doubt God made us for each other!  

Day 6: My church home... a pastor who preaches the Word with boldness and truth.... a worship leader who knows worship is more than music... a youth pastor who raises the bar... a family of believers who pray and love on each other... a place we can be real... God is at work there and I consider it a privilege and blessing to be a part of it.

Day 7: His mercies are new every morning... Great is His Faithfulness!!!!  

Day 8: the freedom & privilege to VOTE!  &  Day 9: Nature... fall leaves, spring flowers, summer warmth, crisp winter days

Day 27: “Look, I am coming soon! ... I am the Alpha & the Omega, the First & the Last, the Beginning & the End." Rev. 22:12-13
