Was just thinking over all of what God has done in the past 4 years or so ... Let me tell ya - when you actually take time to reflect on everything that happens over time, it is almost impossible not to awe over God's plan being played out in your life. He is so very amazing, gracious, loving, and quite frankly - He is so very creative and genius!
1) 2008 - Landon Jack Briner entered the world!!! Amazing little man God blessed me with! Wow!
2) Lil Man (Christopher) started school - that was scary and sad for this mama.... He is doing well and is just getting so big and smart! They grow so fast!
3) I prayed for years, from the time I was a little girl to the age of probably 18 to meet my little sister (Alex) who had been given up for adoption. God answered that prayer when I was 25. It was and has been the most amazing answer to prayer. We have become such great friends and we have the most amazing sister like bond ever. It did take a bit of time and effort, and a little mischief but we did get there! :) I love her so very much!
4) I met a pastor guy at a hospital waiting room because of a mutual friend. He and his wife are mine and my husbands very good friends now! He is also happens to be the pastor of the church we now attend faithfully!
5) My marriage almost failed but by the grace of God and some help/counsel from some very good friends - It succeeded instead! One of those friends/counselors was that pastor guy I mentioned above... (coincidence???) - No, I don't think so! :) :) :)
6) Cj and I started attending Harvest regularly and became a part of the youth team -- talk about the most amazing experience ever! I love the teens and working with them with every ounce of who I am and I know this is where God wants me to be working!
7) I was re-united with my little brother. Honestly, after much prayer I had given up on the thought of actually getting to see him again before I died. Once again, God answered that prayer and awed me with His amazing grace. It was just good for my heart to see him again.
Just to list a few of the major things that have happened in our lives the past four years.... Looking back on it all, it is completely amazing to "re-watch" so to speak. Remembering all the ways God has working in and through our lives, I am so grateful and thankful. I can't even express it here though.
Take some time out of life to reflect on what has passed!
