And...I am thankful to have grown more in the Lord this year. It has been a wonderful year full of love, lessons, pain, opportunities, trust, forgiveness, and growth.

  1. It's it such a blessing that God has given us...the gift of thankfulness. ALL good things come from Him. He is so GOOD! To see God work in a person's life is an awesome thing...I see Him working in you Stephanie :) Keep trusting, remember to forgive, grow in love and continue seeing God for Who He is. The roots are growing deeper and yes we will be able to stand the storms/opportunities of life because of Him.
    Thank you so much for allowing God to work in your life and thank you for the love you show as a daughter.
    It's ALL Because of Him...He is good!
    Love Dad
