As I sit here looking at my three lists I am thanking God for all the amazing blessings he has poured over our lives here in San Diego. Yes we have made some sacrifices, and have had a challenging year but it truly boils down to 1 Corinthians 13:13 "There are three things that will endure-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love." Sometimes life seems overwhelming but when you sit in silence and count your blessings it really isn't that bad afterall

Wow...I can't believe that an entire year has flown by so quickly! It was really nice to see your "good" list and will praying that the "bad and ugly" will start working their way on out. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
I'm glad you are here!
