Thankful Thursday

Thanks for coming by for Thankful Thursday, especially if you just read my last post at The Laundry Alternative. It is so exciting to see the direction God is taking me in. My whole life I've spent living for a dream of a certain life--with a white picket fence, in a big house, with just two kids, and a doting husband. Needlessly to say, the dream hasn't played out quite like I planned. No big house. A crumbling split-rail fence. Four kids, not two (thank you, Lord, for knowing exactly what I need!). And a doting husband that is busy, busy, busy with work. But you know what...my reality is far, far, far better and more precious than any of my dreams. It is real. I can sink my hands and heart deeply into what God has provided. And I am learning, day-by-day and moment-by-moment to live with an attitude of gratitude for the reality God has blessed me with...in His Extravagant Grace.
