So Thankful...#7

Today at MOPS we talked about girlfriends and the qualities we look for in a friend. So today I am thankful for my "mommy group" at MOPS and all of my new friends I have made through it and how it encourages me as a Godly Momma and ALL of my AMAZING girlfriends everywhere. 

Near and Far. Old and New. 

God has blessed me so richly.  

fyi-I need to take some more pictures of me and my friends. Can't even find one of Bethany, Natalie, or my M2M group.  :(  I guess it's because it's all about our kiddos these days.

I am very thankful that I serve a God that NEVER changes. 

God is who He says He is, God can do what He says He can do, I am who God says I am, I can do all things through Christ, God's Word is alive and active in me." -- Beth Moore

 

In Andrew's words...we voted for a leader, not a Savior.

I told Andrew today that I love the days that we all three get to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. Today was one of those lovely days. To top it all off Andrew and I got to work on a project. I love doing projects together. We make such a great team!
God knew what he was doing!!

I am so blessed to have these 3 men in my life. 

They are the men I have known the longest, and have adored my whole life! I have been called a daddy's girl several times and told that I make my brothers look like brothers, because they don't look alike and I look like both of them. They have taught me so much and helped shape me into the girl I am today. Their character showed me what a REAL man was and forced me to aim high for my husband, because they set such a great example. Thankfully, I did find the ONE that met up to those high standards. I didn't know if it would be possible, but Andrew proved it could happen. :) And their wives are a perfect fit for each of them and I love them like my own sisters.

It's so funny that one of my favorite things to do is watch my brothers play basketball. Even now if they are playing a pick-up game and I have the opportunity... I rush to see them play, even if they aren't in their prime anymore. I don't know what it is, but I get such a since of pride and nostalgia from watching MY brothers play. I think they are the best things ever.

They are the reason I work hard, LOVE LOVE music, cheer for the Colts, Cardinals, Hoosiers, laugh really loud, get excited about re-runs of Seinfeld, know the Dukes of Hazard theme song, love Jesus, attempted to play basketball back in the day, confident in who I am, avid Mushroom hunter, good at defending myself, like SNL and David Letterman's top 10, big Michael Jordan fan, don't settle for less, and went to Camp Illiana all those years, the list goes on and on. I used to always wish I had a sister, but feel so special that I don't have to share my brothers and dad with a sister.

I am one blessed girl.
