Quiet time

Well it is 10:00 p.m. and I am usually in bed at this time but I am enjoying some me time while Tanner is asleep and Billy is watching baseball. I am just reflecting on the last few years and wondering where time went. I can look back at my life and see God in the details of everything. I mean who would have guessed I would end up in Ocala Fl with a family. For those of you who don't know Billy and I both are in recovery. Both of us are clean now and I am actually clean for 6 years on Friday and Billy has been clean for 5 and a half. What a miracle. I remember a time when I didn't think i would be able to stay clean for 6 minutes. I am so thankful that Jesus had bigger plans for me. I love where my life is and so peaceful and just so happy to be in the moment. I love having a family and always have been family oriented. I remember when we were little we were always going bike riding and my dad would take us to the park. We hung out at the ball field a lot as all four of my brothers and my sister all played sports. We were always outside and so active. I can not wait to do things like that as a family. I can not wait to go bike riding with Tanner. I love exercising these days and could not feel better. I run three or four times a week and LOVE it. Whatever it is that Tanner wants to do we will encourage him. I know God brought us through what we went through to be better parents to Tanner. I will be keen to any games when he becomes a teenager. Cause I played them all. Ha Ha Well I know that with God's strength we can get through it. I stay pretty busy these days. I pray for wisdom and need all the encouragement and love we can get. God I pray for you to put people in Tanner's life that will lead him in the right direction and pray for us a family unit and be grateful for what we do have. No room for the negative here. If I have learned anything it is to be grateful. I hope we all can be grateful in every situation. WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR!! Let us thank God daily for this day. Not complaining about what we aren't getting!! Help us Lord to keep our eyes fixed on you.
