God has been so very good to me!  I am so thankful first of all for a Heavenly Father who has adopted me into His family.  I can not imagine my life without a personal relationship with God, the Creator of all things.  I am thankful and blessed that He has chosen me and that I can call him "Abba!"  


I am also thankful and blessed this year to be celebrating Father's Day with my DAD!  He is here visiting us in Ecuador and I am blessed!  He is an amazing man and I am thankful for how he raised me to know and love God.  I am honored to call him "Dad".  
 
 
I am also thankful and blessed to be married to a man who loves God, me and our children.  He is an incredible father and I am so thankful to have him to walk through life with.
