How Blessed Am I?

Sorry that it's taken so long to post again. But, I feel that today is the perfect day to post. On December 5th, 2013 my city/county had a horrible ice storm. Over 12,000 homes without power, some still don't have power as of right now (12/11/13). 3 people perished since the ice storm began (not totally due to the storm). The photos that I'm sharing in this post are of my house and my van (though I don't drive the van, it's still my van) and how good God was to my family. The tree that's on my house, is only laying on the roof, no damage! The trees around my van have it pinned in. One did fall on it, but again, no damage. God had his arms of protection around my family, close and extended. My mother's words come to mind right now. When she prayed over her children she always said "and Lord, keep your arms of protection around my children. Protect them from all hurt, harm and danger...." So many different outcomes could've happened during the power outage. Though we had no lights, we did have a small gas heater to keep our living room warm. We didn't have a way to cook but God sent me the best neighbor, EVER! We (Lau'Ren and I) stayed with her and her daughter throughout the entire outage. We shared our food and we became closer the way God meant. How blessed am I? Emencely blessed! Abundantly blessed! Favorably blessed! Jesus shepherded us during this storm. He watched over us. He protected us. He made sure that we were not alone and he provided for us the entire time. Thank you God for loving me. :)

How blessed are you?

Thank you Chelsey Jones for opening your doors to my daughter and I. I'm so thankful that you are here and I count myself lucky and blessed to call you friend. Thanks to all my friends on the Paper Trail and off the trail, that prayed and checked on us daily. Thank you so much. Too my family in Tyler, the daily calls and prayers were greatly appreciated. Without you guys it would've been very hard for me to keep a smile on my face during this. But most of all I thank God. He's so awesome, so amazing, so wonderful. His love is so astounding. Such a pure LOVE. I will forever bless and praise YOUR name God.

HOW BLESSED ARE YOU?
