Baby Bryan Blog

I found this fabulous blog yesterday and this was on one of her posts.. so I thought I would answer these myself and see what I come up with... it is such a good thing to ponder on and know the answers to.

In the last five years, can you think of just five ways God has distinctly answered you?

For me… hmmm…

1. He has brought me through a complete turn around in my life.  Now granted five years ago I was freshly graduated (yes, it's true) but I feel like a lifetime has happened.  I was actually just moving up to Indiana for the first time and would be starting my journey of single adulthood.. 

2. He has refined my friendships.  He has taught me grace and in turn I am STILL learning grace toward others.  Not an easy thing to pick up and act out everyday.  

3.  He has blessed me with a wonderful husband at a time when I didn't deserve any such thing.  He knew he would do wonders to my soul. He has blessed me with a husband that is a leader spiritually, a provider, a friend and someone who will not let me just sit and let the world pass me by.. and last but not least a man that will sit and cry out to the Lord with me when need be.  That has been a prayer of my heart since I was a young girl.

4.  He is teaching me what a women of God is and what a Godly wife looks like.  I am still learning but I don't feel stale in this area and I feel he has heard my cries to want to TRUELY understand and get it, not just get by.  

5. and last he IS answering my cries and prayers to heal my body and every test result I get back proves he has listened, cared and knows my heart.

What are just five smile-causing, heart-cheering, soul-breathing-a-sigh-of-relief moments you’ve had just this last week?

1. Playing Cranium with Adam and some good friends.

2. Hearing my babies heartbeat.

3. Packing my babies bag for when we come home from the hospital.

4. Cuddling with Adam.

5.Eating a wonderful plum.. simplicity.

What are just five utterly ridiculous things that just make you happy?

1. Opening the windows are a warm day.

2. When people laugh heartily at my jokes. (this is one she wrote but I would have to second that!)

3. Watching home videos from growing up.

4. A good meal..with white wine.. yum.

5. a good conversation with Adam.

Why not be extravagantly appreciative?

Take the time…just for you…just for Him…just for five.
