See the forest inspite of the trees…
Weird title I know… I was listening to my Alison Krauss CD and the song, “In the Palm of Your Hands” started playing. (One of my favorite songs) The chorus goes:
I’d rather be in the palm of your hands though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance, sees the forest inspite of the trees
Your grace provides for me…
It touched me deeply and I decided that I am going to start focusing on all the positive things going on in my life. I discovered there are a lot!!
1. I have a great husband and sweet little girl.
2. Speaking of sweet little girl… Today Jada climbed up on my lap and gave me a big hug and said, “Mommy, I love you very much!” She must have known I needed that. 
I am so proud of her. She is learning things so quickly and becoming such an independent little girl. One of her newest accomplishments is riding her big girl bike! Here is a picture of her on it with her new helmet.
3. I got a new job that I am soooo excited about. I will be working at my church as a Children’s Ministry Assistant.
4. My mom is moving back to this area, so we will be able to see her more!
5. Summer is near! I can’t believe it is going to be 90 degrees this week!
6. I’m going to Kah-nee-ta to soak up the rays this weekend with two of my best friends!
So, it turns out I have a lot to be happy and excited about. God is doing amazing things in my life right now. He is making me stronger and I am going to focus on the “big picture” (forest) instead of focusing on all the little/big frustrating things that are happening (trees).
