Merry Christmas!

I just got home from spending Christmas with my family. I have to say this has been one of the most wonderful times we've had together. My parents and I went to their Christmas Eve service after spending time at my sister's house yesterday. I have been reminded, once again, the magnitude of God's love. It is totally amazing to think how He can love a wretched, detestable, and twisted sinner such as myself. I have nothing to bring to the table.....NOTHING. It's amazing to think how his mercies and his promises are new each morning...He keeps on giving grace and mercy even though He knows I will never meet up to His standard but, ONLY because of His son Jesus! He is the propitiation for my sins. He is my Savior and Redeemer! This truly is the BEST GIFT ever!!!

Wendy, what do you think?

Welcome home, Amy!!

Amy came back to midwest for the weekend and it was so-ooo great to see her! The weekend was full of tears, laughter, smiles, hugs, and memories. This is a picture from Friday night when some girls got together for dinner and dessert fondue. Gaylene rocked the house with her HOMEMADE marshmallows!! They were so good!

I count it a blessing to have each and everyone of these girls in my life. I appreciate their godly examples in living a life that is Christ-centered and of sacrifice.

Kristi...this is for you!!
