Hurray, today is our seven month mark! 

In many ways it seems that cannot be possible, our wedding, and the weeks following are still very vivid in my memory. Yet at the same time it feels as thought we have known each other so well before that this is just a continuation of the many years that we knew each other prior to being married! 

John is my best friend, my confidant, my shield and authority, he is my protector, and leader. Yet I know that we have many opportunities to grow, and learn together still. To those of you who have been uplifting our growing family in prayer thank you! Today I am thankful for these past seven months, and for the man that God has given me to spend them with! 

I love you John!

Blessings.

Today I am thankful for family. Those who God gives to us, to challenge us, help us grow, to encourage us, and to pray for us. Those who God has placed in our lives to be our authority, to lead and guide us. 

I am thankful for each and every family member God has placed in my life. I am also thankful for the work they have done, and continue to do to help shape me into who I am today.

Blessings.

I was looking around our apartment today, and realized not for the first time how blessed we are. For a newly married couple John and I have been given much! The only pieces of furniture that we purchased would be our bedroom furniture, and our sofa. Everything else furniture wise has been given to us. A lot of couples I know have had to do with out for many years to be as settled as we are now. So today I am thankful for the generosity of those who have given us the things we need furniture or other wise to make our house a home! Thank you!

These past few months I have been reading a lot, books about pregnancy, parenting, being a wife, birth, breast feeding, and much more. Each of these books that I have been reading has something in common. They are written with a good purpose to teach, and mentor those that are needing this knowledge. The sad realization that has come to me full force, now with being married, approaching the birth of our child, is that these books are meant to replace mothers, grandmothers, and older women who have much to tell us. The women that should be staying home teaching their families, and those in their life, are out living the good life, and leaving a lot of wonderful teaching and fellowship time behind. Reading these books has shown me how much I have to be thankful for! God has placed in my life many "older" women to teach me, and encourage me. So today I am so very thankful to them, for laying aside a part of their lives to teach me.

Mom, Devon, Momma Dar, Mrs Jo Elaine, Kim Evans, Stacy McDonald, Theresa Lansberry, Lanie Barnhart, Jana Peiffer, Jennifer Bateman Juanita Tye. Each of these ladies has a very special place in my heart. They have taken time to welcome me, to teach me, many times even without knowing it, just their example has spoken volumes. There are so many more that come to mind, but listing them would take all day, and a whole lot of space to do so in.

To all ladies in God's earthly kingdom, who have a heart to teach, mentor, and love on us younger women. Thank You! I rise up today and call you blessed, because you have left a legacy to the next generations.

Abba Father,

Thank you for placing in my life women who will teach. Women who will love, and exemplify you. May you bless each one of these ladies in a very special way this day. Also please help us young women to learn well, what it means to be an older women to teach, and pass on your statutes. May you be honored and glorified mightily this day, because you deserve the glory, and this is the day you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.


Blessings this day to you from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ!

Today I am thankful for the way in which God created mankind. The glorious intricacies that He put inside of us. Think of it, the human body is so amazing. The Lord allows women to bare children, men to be the strentgh of their families. We wouldn't be able to do any of this if it weren't for the way that God has made us. I am also thankful that God has given the body the ability to heal itself, and that he gave us the very food that we need to live and to stay healthy. Genesis 1:29.

Blessings as you remember all God has given you to be thankful for!

I am thankful this day for friends, for the blessing of having old and new friends. People who will make you laugh, who will cry with you, and who will remind you each day of the many blessing that God gives us.

Last night John and I went to the Lansberry's house, we were joining a celebration they call "The Night of the Burning Plum". The purpose of which is to celebrate friendship, and the joy that friendship brings to us. It was night of great food, great fellowship, and wonderful stories about why the plum keeps burning. Last night was a huge sucsess in the minds of the Creath family.


Blessings to you.
