Multitude on Mondays #1-10

Miscellaneous Monday, which I tried last week, was wonderful and fun but....

I have been praying over my blog and our missions website.  God has called me to this to do His purpose and give Him Glory.  I found God speaking to me about how I blog, inviting me to include HIM more directly and less indirectly here at Faithful Homeschool.

Enter Ann Voskamp and her site, A Holy Experience.  I had the pleasure of meeting her blog when I hosted the Homeschool Carnival in February.  This weekend, as I caught up on different blogs I like to follow, I was reading Ann's recent entries and became acquainted with Multitude Mondays.  It is like the giving thanks to God version of Miscellaneous Mondays - the two meshed together for a wonderful blog idea that gives God all the glory!

So why not count my blessings in the miscellaneous and multitude here every Monday!  You can join me too!  Click on the linked picture above to learn more.

Here goes....

1.  My children, doctors later admitted, should never have been conceivable... literally.  A complete hysterectomy by my 30th birthday revealed a uterus and ovaries that, in most woman, would have rendered them infertile.  Yet I was blessed 4 times over... thank you Lord!

2.  Silliness, my children keep me young and light hearted with their silliness!

3.  Homeschool because every moment of each day is made more special just spending it with my children and seeing their wonders and sparks in learning.

4.  God's amazing wisdom to know what we need... and what we don't need... so we can serve Him more completely!

5.  My mother-in-law's generosity to open her tiny home to this big family!

6.  Answered prayer!  For 10 years I prayed for my husband to know Christ as his Savior, to share my faith with him, to pray with him and for my children to have an earthly father who could help lead them in their faith walk... God does answer prayers (some just take longer than others!)

7.  Listening to the still small voice of my 8 year old read, "Home for a Bunny" because bunnies are her favorite and the book is adorable!

8.  Wheels lended (and a driver provided!) so groceries can be purchased and driven home (not walked!)

9.  Letting go and letting God cover anxieties about things that really did not matter today!  I found such peace as a result :-)

10. God spontaneously putting a song in my heart today... "Hosanna" and Hillsong singing it beautifully.  After watching the video on YouTube I was reminded of what a powerful prayer the lyrics form.

May you know the Peace of our Heavenly Father today in such a way that inspires gratitude in all the little things (and big)!
