EXCITED!

Today has been kind of an exciting day! From the outside looking in it would appear to be a pretty normal day and in a lot of ways it was.....the girls and I played a few games this morning, painted our finger and toenails, napped and met some friends at the park to enjoy the awesome weather! BUT in a lot of ways today was so much more! Today was a day where my thoughts and expectations for 2011 were changed in big and small ways. Josh and I have been thinking and planning and dreaming a little; looking into some opportunities for our future. Some things we are looking at seem very feasible and some things seems SO far-fetched that in some ways it's silly to even think about them BUT think about them we are! No, our hopes are not pinned on them but how awesome would it be if they worked out....it could only be a God thing (and if these things don't work out we're convinced that would be a God thing too)! We've decided that we want to be right in the middle of wherever God wants us to be. That every opportunity we're given.....every job, every relationship, every encounter we have this year (and from now on) be smack in the middle of his plan for this family. We have already experienced so much of his blessing and provision (and our share of rough times too) but this year we are looking for all kinds of reasons to give him glory! We know that he can and expect that he will do great things for us and through us in 2011!

The LORD has done great things for us and we are filled with JOY!
Psalm 126:3
