It is okay to recognize you are BLESSED!

I am extremely grateful for all that I have in my life!  I spend each day trying my best to not overlook all that I have.  At times there are challenges and potholes in daily life that pull me down, but our Lord and Savior has his awesome ways of helping me cope with these hiccups in life; to stay focus on the good and only the good.  That isn't to say that it feels good to vent and speak my peace because isn't that what women are wired to do.  Bottom line I am blessed!  Large and small, all the blessings in my life are endless and some are even invisible to the human eye and only between me and my Heavenly Father.

A specific blessing in my life that I work hard to not take for granted is my husband!  He is an amazing individual.  He has led me to the Lord and everyday his kind heart is just overwhelmingly beautiful.  I am proud of him and I can not tell him enough that he amazes me!

He went on his first mission trip to Mexico with our church.  I was not completely secure with the idea because of the area that they were staying in was not particularly safe.  I know that probably sounds absurd because God's hand was securing the whole church group, but it still concerned me for his safety and for the fact that I was being left at home alone.....which is a first for me.

Needless to say my days went by slow and I understood how he feels week to week when I am off flying the friendly skies.  It is hard to not have your other half at home with you!  I do not like it and I do not want to a single day go by without letting him know that I appreciate every bit of his presence in my life.

As for his mission experience, I saw the Holy Spirit shining through him when I picked him up at the airport.  He had this beautiful strength and energy that he carried with him.  He glowed with happiness as he told me the details of the projects that he worked on for others in need.  He truly made me a proud wife.  I am also so so so very proud to say that my husband was an asset to the group because of his ability to speak fluent Spanish.  How awesome is that?
