On my mind Sunday

I have been given the time to reflect upon a few things going on in my life as of now.  First of all, I get to stay home with the most adorable, precious gift from God.  I cannot thank God enough for allowing me to learn how to trust in Him and create this beautiful son.  Taking Dietrich out in public is like taking out Princess William because everyone stops and says hi to him and tells us how beautiful he is.  I don't exaggerate with that either--it's EVERY time we go out.  Nothing that beautiful can be created by none other than our wonderful God.  Dietrich's personality is really starting to show and he is such a great child!  We couldn't be any more blessed.

Secondly, I have been married to Dustin for 6 years and together for almost 9.  I look at others, their relationships or lack of, and realize yet again how blessed I am.  God brought Dustin to me in a time of my life that was very messed up.  I could have taken so many wrong turns, but in steps God bringing me Dustin... settling me and grounding me, challenging me, etc.  I love how Dustin challenges me to believe in what I believe in and not necessarily what he believes.  I love how I can have the most horrible day and Dustin will say just the right thing or know when it's THAT kind of day and I just need a glass of wine.  He also knows how to pamper me.  Some women do not get the opportunity for spa days or other beautifying times.  I'm so thankful I get to do that!  In fact there are days he just grabs my purse and tells me to go to the spa!  Love it!

Next, I'm thankful for God bringing me to Saint Mary of the Woods for grad school.  The professors are amazing and so in love with God that they live like Christ.  I also am thankful for my cohort--they are some of the best people.

I just wanted to express how thankful I am right now for my family, albeit just beginning.  I also am thankful that God loves me enough to allow me to experience blessings here on earth and that I can see blessings in all cases.
