Beautiful Life

My daughter Alexis Eliana Israel Molander is 18 months today. She is such a blessing to me. I love her so much. I thank God for her.
I thank God for this beautiful life he has given me. I am loving this year. 2013. It is such an amazing year.
10 years ago I was married to my awesome faithful husband.....in a few months we will celebrate 10 years....
Our son will be 9 years old in a month....and yes oh yes...I will turn 30.

I can say I did have some STUPID 20 something moments. I would give anything to take some time back......I think I lost 2 years somewhere...hehe.

Im just overwhelmed with God's goodness. It never changes.....His forgiveness love and loyalty, I am so thankful for today.

A few weeks ago my son rededicated his life to the Lord.....I feel like with the birth of my daughter......I have new life as well inside my heart. Ive rededicated my life to him as well in many ways....i see things so differently...and they way I act and react has changed...so much...its a continual process...but Im glad God is patient....and good.

I am stripped of all those past hurts...well not all of them because sometimes they creep up on me.....but I feel a freedom......a new zeal and passion for the next thing God has for me....I am thankful for where I come from but dont regret not pressing on...HE has protected me since I took my first breath.....and prevented me from hurting myself too much...or getting hurt too much....i had control of some things and didnt have control of others in the last 30 years....but God has always had control...thank goodness.

Im excited to embark on life with my little family each new day ....and join with some awesome people God has placed in our lives.....working with refugees, working in orphanages, working with children, serving over seas, serving medically, serving the homeless.....flood gates of opportunities have flung wide open....

I think partially I was not ready or committed enough before...maybe....there was sin or hurt or distraction or stupidity clouding my mind and heart.......

So all in all I so very excited for whats next.....I love my baby girl...I love my gorgeous husband and I love my genius son.........

LIFE IS GOOD....SO GOOD...because God is so good.

AMEN.
