Greater things are yet to come...

Pat made it back in town just to find his wife curled up in the bed sick as a dog this weekend. I felt so bad that he was finally coming home for a little while and here I was, sick! Like the awesome man that he is, he took care of me hand and foot. He just kept asking me, what can I do for you? I wanted to say, well you could start puking all day and let me stop but I knew that wasn't going to happen. lol

I have been so blessed to have an amazing husband who supports this family with everything he has. He works his butt off for us and for that I am forever thankful. I know he doesn't like to go out of town every other week, but he does it because he knows how it helps this family. While some think that being a deer hunter for a living may be a dream job, to Pat he just thanks God everyday for it and knows how truly blessed he is to have it.

Sunday we got up and I still wasn't feeling great, but then I remembered it was Youth Sunday at church and I didn't want to miss it. I sat through Sunday school gripping Pat's hand the whole time as I could feel my water wanting to come back up. We made it through Sunday School and it was off to church we went to listen to our Youth Group do the sermon.

I sat in church amazed by what a wonderful group this was and how I can't wait to share their experiences through Christ with them. A young girl gave her testimony and I felt like she touched my life more than any pastor I have ever listened to. She made my problems feel so small in comparison to her own. She made me see that my faith could be stronger if I would just let God take the lead. I sat in church and cried the whole time, again gripping Pat's hand because I couldn't stop crying. Poor guy!

After church Pat hugged me and didn't even bother to ask why I was crying, he just said he loved me and that he knew great things were about to come. I am so thankful to have this man in my life! Can't wait to see what this year brings.

Something that this young girl at church left us with on Sunday.

Ask God "Why have you done this for me" not "Why are you doing this to me"
