Today I was just thinking about my life and how God has completely filled with it blessing. Seriously, there is not one thing I would change. I wonder, why me Lord?
I have such an amazing, caring, hardworking, goodlooking, godly husband who loves me and our boys unconditionally. I have the two cutest, sweetest, smartest boys in the whole world. We are all healthy and safe and love Jesus. I could go on and on about my family, but I already have before! :)
I love living in Chico! I think it's sad when I hear people say, "I live in x town, but y town is my favorite city in the world." Because, why the heck would you not live in your favorite place? I love living by both mine and Eric's families, they are SUCH a huge blessing to us! Eric's parents watch the boys for our cell groups and during the day and my mom watches them so Eric and I can go on dates and do special stuff. And, we see my dad every weekend when he's here from work. I love the weather in Chico (no yucky snow!) and the trees and the park and the little bigness of it.
In high school and college I always dreamt of being a psychologist. I was a psychology major and I really wanted to be able to counsel and help hurting women. And, obviously, that didn't work out. But, being a cell group leader is a million times better. I get to do lots of counseling, but I also get to take it a step farther and be a part of womens lives healed and transformed. God is the doctor performing heart surgery, but I get to be the nurse watching and assisting in the process. (And, if you want to see it in real life check out Laura's blog - although her most recent post may not be the best example...haha)
In high school I was involved in the Christian club at school and in my youth group. It is so sad to see that most of my "Christian" friends are disillusioned (a post that I've been meaning to write for awhile) or lukewarm. I know that that could so easily be me, but instead, I am passionate for Jesus and the lost. I am seeing people be saved, delivered, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit. All of my bestfriends are not just churchgoers, but people living victorious lives, like in the Book of Acts.
Although, we aren't rich (YET!) we aren't in lack. I am able to stay home and raise my boys and we have always had our needs taken care of.

ReplyDeleteVery cheesy.

I love hearing from others what they are thankful for, and in this world when so many people are negative all the time, it's nice to have some positive reminders of what is good and right.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was thinking along the same lines in the shower last night. I always wanted to be a stay at home mommy, that is what I wanted to do since I was little and now God has given me that. I too am sooo greatful for they way God continues to provide for James and I and the girls. We are soooo blessed and there is no doupt in my mind that God loves and cares for us even when things get hard. You know I think that we would get along really well.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that was cheesy at all. But, then again, my chesse-o-meter might be broken. I love you and I know how you feel! I'm so happy that I am a part of you and your boys' lives. Love you, Nurse Morgan!
ReplyDeletewe love cheese.
ReplyDeleteAhh, cheese!

In answer to your "why not live in the city you want" 'question'. I don't like in the city I want to. However I have been living here all my life. I met my husband here and I have my practise here. I can't just move. My dh and I both work for ourselves and moving to a town where we would want to live would take us back years. It took YEARS to build up the client base I have now. So even if I really really want to move, it would make no financial sense for us to do so.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to be living where you want to ;)
