I’m linking up with Finding Joy and Bigger Picture Blogs today to talk about my week’s favorite things. If you want to join in or read about some favorite things to be thankful for, click the pic or link and head over there now.
Yes, it was an incredible a week! That was written with the tone of “wow, it was awesome!“
There are many favorites for this week, but these top the list:
I’ve watched a young mom fight through multiple challenges for a year and a half now. Sunday I witnessed that mom step into her role as our churches new Children’s Ministry Director. God is working miracles in this girls life. I am so proud of you, Jessica!
Another person I’ve been watching grow is my son. Getting to go on a “mom and son” date Tuesday was the best. We haven’t done that in awhile. It gave us time to talk about the future and his upcoming graduation from college in May. Why do little boys grow up so fast?
Another favorite was watching a class full of GED students come together and celebrate Thanksgiving. I loved the laughter. I loved the smiles. I love watching their self-confidence grow every week.
It was a great week. A favorite week.

Love this! Great week, but very busy. Filmed the intro vid for the Legacy Bible study and am headed out to speak tonight at a church about 2 hours away. I'm so blessed to be able to serve the Lord out of my passion.

Alene, I enjoyed this so much. You have a handsome son. I pray all God's best for him as he prepares to graduate college and move into the next phase of his life.
Beautiful woman and her family in the photo. Awesome testimony!
All of what you shared was a blessing. We can see the Goodness of God in the Land of the Living at every turn!
My week was productive, full, challenging and extremely blessed! I'm watching God do some miraculous works and open doors I did not ask and all the while the enemy attacks BUT Greater is God and that's enough!
Blessings to you and thank you for your visits to my blog. Means so much to me.
Love ya!

What an amazing week you had! Thanks for sharing some of it with us. And beautiful photos as always.
I had the honor and privilege to share Christ this week with a childhood friend. That is something I wouldn't have done as willingly even a year ago and I'm so thankful I took that step. Put myself out there for Christ. He's worth it. And I no longer feel inadequate to just share what He means to me. That was certainly the highlight of my week :)
Many blessings to you!

Such a sweet post! The photos are awesome and your son's eyes captured my attention. I can't stand the thought of my daughter being that age before I know it. She is 6, but college will be here in the blink of an eye unless Jesus returns first.
Bless you today!

Love the Favorites post!
My son is only 17 months old and I can't believe how fast boys grow up! I get a little misty thinking about the day he graduates from high school, college…
And if you were in my neck of the woods, I would have given you a cookie in a heartbeat!:)
God Bless!
