Good morning, Jesus.

Thank you for a quiet(ish) morning full of you, cartoons, Josie learning new words, and coffee. It’s different than the time I get you on my commute. That is like my secret quiet place with you that I treasure, but this is a different kind of good. There is so much to be thankful for right here on my couch this morning. Jesus I am sitting here reflecting on what an absolute blessing 2022 was. It brought us Daniel!!, a new church, new friends that love you, soon to be a new sister, health for my body, Brock finding his stride – thriving in fact!, Josie’s happy, adorable, little toddlerdom,  and a new since of peace in the middle of our messy life. So many blessings I can’t even count them all. Most of all I found my way back to regular time with you. That has brought more joy and hope and happiness than anything else. Thank you so much for never giving up on me and always welcoming me back with open arms. There truly is no one like you. I wasn’t to ask you for wisdom today. I want to ask you to fill my cup with joy, hope, and self-discipline like never before. I look at my husband and children and the stage of life we are in. It is precious to me. So precious. I want to bottle every memory, so I don’t forget. That’s why I take such an excessive amount of pictures. I am so hopeful for what 2023 brings. I pray that you give us huge, undeserved, and only explained by you favor for 6920 Battle Creek Rd house. I pray that you open the door for us to be able to buy and renovate it before me move in by some crazy way. I have no idea how that would happen, but I know you can make it happen. I pray that you give Brock favor that he is able to make it into MC Prep for next school year. I pray that we are able to serve at the church regularly. I pray that you show us the way to do all of these things. I pray that 2023 will be the year I get in shape and completely free from Adderall. I pray that you help me to feed my family cleaner and they we are all at  a weight you meant us to be. I pray that you move through USA and start a revolution. Something fierce. A great awakening to this lost country to find you and your goodness. Have mercy on the USA and bless us anyway. Open our eyes and soften our hearts. Thank you for keeping Brock safe this Christmas.

Tonight, Chance proposes to Emily. Please bless this union and have so much favor on them. Forgive them for living together and speak to them how to recover and do even better from now on. I pray that you pour out so many blessings on them. Thank you so much for them. I’m so excited. Keep us all safe on the way there and I hope everything goes smoothly!!

I love you so much. I trust you so much. Amen.
