God Moments

I was reading a really great article today on "faithbooking". This is what I've been doing for several years that I call "scrapbooking my soul". Anyway, they suggested these topics, and I like them.. so I'm hoping to take a look at these and perhaps write something kthat speaks to the "God Moments" in my life. All it will take is going back through my journals, God does so much it will be fun to highlight the Best of the Best God Moments ! Here are the topics, just in case you want to do the same (okay, so probably no one is reading this, but hey, who knows?):

Amazing Rescue—a moment when God guarded you, healed you, rescued you, or made a way out for you.

Holy Attraction—a moment when God led you toward a healthier path, enabled you to resist a temptation, or inspired you to take the high road.
Unearned Blessing—a moment when God gave you an unexpected blessing or an underserved gift.

Revealed Truth—a moment when God spoke to you through the Bible, inner peace, wise counsel, or a God-inspired message.
Valuable Adversity—a moment in which God sustained you in a difficult time or made you stronger through the test of adversity.
(God Moments, Alan D. Wright,Multnomah Publishers, 1999.)

I love my husband..

I haven't mentioned it yet on this blog, but I do love my husband Ben Copeland. He encourages me every day, and as we get older, I thank God that he brought Ben into my life. Although with seven kids we have been through a lot in just 6 short years, it feels like a lifetime. It seems that the earlier years of my life are such a blur and that my time with Ben has been twice as long. I don't know if that is because we've been through so much.. with four teenagers in the house at the same time, and now raising our precious grandbaby Darious, we seem to move through seasons in our relationship much faster than I moved through them in the past. Does that make any sense? Well, it does to me anyway. Ben sent me this picture yesterday, as he is and always has been a big weather buff, and I rely on him to tell me what the temp is going to be, and help me determine what season I should dress for ~ here in Texas, it can snow in February and be 90 in December, so having a reliable weatherman for a husband is a big plus! They are not easy to come by you know. Or great men, and even better husbands. Once more, I am truly blessed!!
Meeting him was DEFINATELY one of my God Moments !!
