Thankful...

So, there is much to be thankful for in just the last couple of weeks in our official position as church planters.  And I think if I don't take time to give thanks it will become something that we take for granted- kind like my daughter about 2 days after her birthday when she has already stopped playing with her Hatchimal toy and she thinks she has no toys. So, here goes some random things I'm thankful for (trust me- this is not the entire list):

- A finalized permit on my home which means we can now sell without restriction.
- Health for my family.
- An amazing presentation at our District Board meeting followed by prayer for Renew Church by some people that I have great respect for.
- My wife who stands by me even when she's not certain, works on websites even though she doesn't love to and sells a house that she has raised our daughters in.
- Pastor Steve Gibson from Bradenton 1st Church for being the first person to officially invite me to share my vision with his local church (August 26 if you live in the area :)
- An great time with my nieces from OK that were such an awesome influence on my daughters.  
-  Parents, brothers, Aunts/Uncles, Grands, Nieces/Nephews and cousins that are rooting for us, praying for us and supporting us.  (They are the definition of family).  
- Pancakes at IHOB (IHOP) with Pastor Tony Valdez of Way Church of Miami.  He was really excited about what we are doing in Kendall and wants to support in any way he can.

Last but not least, the reminder that in all of this... God is with us.  We are not alone.  

Thanks for reading!
