The last several days I have been reminded that I need to look at all the blessings that God has given me and be grateful! This week was a roller coaster for my emotions, I had several restless, tossing and turning nights, mind racing to all different scenarios. Each time I would catch myself, I would seek Jesus and declare truth over the situation; but it felt like an all-out battle to get myself to grab truth over fear.
This morning in Ann Voskamp’s post, several lines connected with my soul “The way through awful is awe. Daily dose of God-awe is a kind of medicine that treats trauma. Trauma is when pain overwhelms us. Awe is when God overwhelms us…. All gratitude to God begins with awe of God.”
This was a confirmation to me to write out my awe list for this past week, this list is completely different than any gratitude or awe list before…. This desert life has introduced me to all new ways of seeing God in the awe……
Watching the sunset over a mountain range with cacti.
Eating ice cream on a warm Friday afternoon.
Seeing wild horses along the road and pausing to let them cross.
Getting a pedicure.
My hubby is coming TONIGHT (Friday)
An amazing new Endocrinologist for Bryson and prescribing new Diabetes technology that could simplify his Diabetes care.
Hot tubbing on a Wednesday afternoon.
Thursday and Sunday night football starting at 5:15 pm! (that’s just more awesome than awe)

Catfish and mashed potatoes.
