I feel blessed to live in an amazing area with people who are so willing to lend an amazing hand. I have had to allow others to serve me and they have in spoken and unspoken ways.
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to see the bigger picture. To see the Lords hand in my life, and to know he is so mindful of just little old me.
We had a fire in our garage back in December. I heard the smoke alarm go off around 2pm but still wasn't sure if it was my house. Even then I didn't think it could be a real situtation. It wasn't until I saw Rhett run up to grab Steele out of his bed and yell to me to get out that I realized it may be for real. When I got out of the house and picked up Steele, I glanced over and saw fire and smoke coming from the back corner of my garage.
The smoke damage made it so not much was salvagable. It was scary how quick it started and how quick it destroys. It still feels strange that this happened. I still think about some of the things I lost, but what I gained is irreplaceable.
We were purged by natural causes. It forced us to look at everything, and in the a greater perspective it was a necessary thing for our family.
I am thankful to rebuild. and to start new. With my family and my amazing ward and friends, and my knowledge and testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have all.
And in less than 4 weeks we will be blessed with a new baby in our home. We can't wait for her to arrive.
