Count Your Blessings!


As this year ends, I would like to take a moment to count my blessings...I am truly surprised at all that The Lord has accomplished in my life for 2015!

He has blessed me to have crossed the border, traveling to and from Mexico twice this year. The picture above is from my last weekend trip where we distributed over 1,000 toys to children in Puerto Penasco, MX. 

He has blessed me to spend one month with family in Chicago which is the longest amount of time that I have been able to spend in Chicago since moving to Phoenix 5 years ago.

He has blessed me with more genuine Christian friendships than I have ever had in my life! Friendships that are not just on Facebook or conditional based on the church I go to, but people who pray with me, laugh with me and suffer me are truly a blessing.

He has also blessed me with a new romantic interest...we met online at christianmingle.com and have been dating for several months. This is truly a blog post of its own but I will wait to see how it goes!

He has blessed me to have learned how to identify the working environment and culture that will work best for me and have been flourishing in it in spite of days that are harder than others.

He has blessed me to take steps toward opening a retail clothing boutique which is my dream.

He has blessed me to be able to count it all joy when I fall into various trials!
