Blessings

I just wanted to share with you all about my recent blessing not to boast but to celebrate in what God has done in our lives and what He can do in your life!

Since I have let the Lord into my life so many blessings have come to me. Before I even knew the Lord He blessed me! It doesn't always have to be about money either it can be about relationships, moments, the weather, you name it!
This last week I received another blessing from the Lord that I know that I don't deserve but He has done it anyway!
After coming back to work from being on Maternity leave I took it upon myself to start looking for a new position at the company I work for. Not because I didn't like my current job but, because I wanted to grow in challenge and in financial stability.
At first I tried to look within my organization but that for good reason didn't work out (totally God working in that I am so sure of). So I decided to apply for other positions outside of my organization. After three interviews I was offered two positions. I had to make a choice between the two. With a lot of prayer and talking to my husband I decided on one. I went with my gut/heart on this one. Without telling too much I went with the one that I knew would be less stressful. Even though I love a challenge! It was the right choice not only because I just absolutely loved the people I interviewed with and love what I will be doing but it also has given me a significant raise that Mike and I were not at all prepared for!
Even as I write this down I my eyes welt up because I know that God has been, is, and will be with me every step of the way in my life!
I come from a background with no college education and in my early twenties I did things I shouldn't have done (people out there that know where I have come from you know what I am talking about) and past job experiences that were just stressful, depressing, drama creating, and tiresome. God has brought me to this place in my life and has blessed me and Mike beyond anything that we could have ever imagined!!
I thank God everyday for my wonderful Husband! The Lord blessed us with wonderful jobs and a place to live! We ave some of the most wonderful and supporting friends! We are so blessed to have such a close family too! Most of all He blessed us with our beautiful daughter Kyrsten Nicole! Mike had her name picked out before he even knew that I was to be in his life!
The Lord has a plan and it is perfect!! On days that are down right depressing or heartbreaking I have to constantly remind myself of that. I am one of the most impatient people you will ever meet and I am constantly praying for patience. But God always delivers! Just when I think I know what is best for me God does something even better!
