1000 Gifts: 881-980


Hold on.  Did you catch that?  Did you see the title of this post? Do you see that we're under 20 days away from finishing this project?  Today, we are 2.5 weeks away from Cole's graduation.  Though at times, this project has been tedious, and there have been days where, to my great shame, it has been hard to find unique things to be thankful for, I am thankful. I am so thankful for this reminder of these 1000 days and of God's everpresent faithfulness and generosity to us.

Just Us

We will also remind you that this is just a BLOG…just the highlights. We don’t sit around happily smiling for pictures all day long. Our life is far from perfect: we are imperfect people serving a perfect God. We do strive to glorify God, but we fail miserably and find comfort in knowing that our debts have been paid and we have been set free.
