Blessed

The dictionary has many definitions for the word blessed. I think the best one which describes how I feel right now, and strive to continue to feel is number 4 on the list...
4.  blissfully happy or contented.
 
 God has blessed me with a loving husband of 3 years, Chris, and an beautiful baby girl, Olivia, who is now turning 10 months old.  We live inside Jesmond Parish Church, as Chris is the verger there. Although challenging, I truly believe the Lord has called us to live here for this time. And for that, I am blessed.  I think I need to count my blessings more often. I often find that I get in a slump, feeling as though the entire world is closing in on me.  But then God does something amazing... He answers a prayer that has been prayed so many times. He is so faithful. Chris was an answer to prayer... when I was a single girl praying each night that the Lord would bring my husband to me. Olivia was an answer to prayer...as I prayed for months that the Lord would allow us to have children. Its funny... how I can forget those 2 huge answers to prayers when life gets tough. Yet, God is still faithful.
Today I passed my driving test. After 3 attempts, I passed. Thank you Lord.  I also have been blessed by wonderful friends, who, when I needed them, watched Olivia for a few hours so I could take my test without stressing about her.  I guess I just need to count my blessings more often.
