In the last year, God has provided miraculous healing emotionally for my wife. She has been in various states of functionality due to emotional/physical issues for the last several years, but is now healthy enough that she is able to take care of our 4 kids and also teach 3rd/4th grade at the local elementary school. And she is loving it. Along the way God has shown her so much more about who she is in His eyes.
God also provided for myself and my children in miraculous ways akin to feeding the 5000. We lived in Florida on the beach for almost 2 months. God provided travel, lodging, food, and entertainment there throughout that entire time so that we didn't end up spending a dime. This included being in a wedding, catching up with lifelong friends, visiting Legoland for the first time, and playing some Redemption with YMT's group a couple times. It was absolutely amazing.
God has continued to bless me with a ministry where I feel like He uses my rather eclectic set of skills and interests to really make a difference in the lives of the people who are here. He continues to speak to me through His Word and through the people who He has also brought into my life. This included bringing a friend of my family from a really difficult home situation that I didn't know if we'd ever be able to serve.
I had the opportunity of attending and participating in Nats last summer, and having my KY playgroup take 3 spots in the top 20 of T1-2p, and the championship in Sealed Deck. I was able to eat frog legs for the first time, and learn that they have the texture of chicken, but the taste of fish. I was able to have my 2nd daughter start playing Redemption and traveling to tournaments with her older sister and I. I was able to see the Hobbit in HD-3D and really feel like I was right there in Bilbo's home. I was able to attend the funeral and celebration of the life of my Grandmother.
