God's Gift

Earlier this week, I gave a brief summary of my testimony at a ladies group.  They wanted to know when God/Christ became REAL to me.  I will give a quick rundown here:

I was 23, living with a boyfriend, and feeling completely empty and lost.  I started going to church, something I had been doing on and off since moving out of my parents' home.  The pastor's sermon on this given Sunday was about the God shaped hole in my heart.  Boy was that right on!  She said the only way I could fill it was to seek God, rely on Christ and give myself over to the Holy Spirit.  WOW!

W/in the next 3 weeks I moved out of the house with my boyfriend, broke up with him, moved closer to home and work, joined a new church and joined a women's Bible study without knowing a single woman (well one of them was an acquaintance).  WHEW!  A couple of weeks after that I met my husband.

That is where the God's Gift title comes in.  I 100% believe that Kevin was a gift from God sent just for me...well, he is a gift to a lot of people, but he is my most special gift.  I love my husband so much, that as I am typing this I am tearing up.  He is AMAZING!  Let me tell you a bit about him:



He is FUNNY!  He can make me laugh all the time.  If I am down, he can always lift me up.

He is so good at forgiving.  He loves me even through all, and there are MANY, faults. 


He always makes me feel special, loved, and beautiful.

He is smart.  He doesn't think he is, but he really is.  I am constantly amazed at his mental abilities, and his wisdom.


He is a fantastic and loved daddy.  He adores his children, and they definitely adore him.



So, thank you, God.  For giving me this gift.  I know it is his birthday, but I am the one who gets the best present.


Loving my birthday boy,
