The Super Six!

We used to call ourselves the "Fab Five" but we added a little tiny super human to our family so we are now the "Super Six" and I think the last 12 months have given us the right to use the name. 
My husband Jonathan and I have been together for 15 yrs married for 13 yr this coming December. We've experienced jobs,pregnancy, fires, remodels, miscarriage, death, injury, and health issues. We have only become closer to each other and to the Lord through it all. 
“They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.”
Luke 6:48 NIV
We know you can not withstand the storms if you don't have a firm foundation in Gods words and faith in His promises. Does that mean we never waiver? Or shake? Absolutely not! We talk, we cry, and we wonder Lord why us again? But we KNOW He's there with us. We lean on His word and speak it out. 
“If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.”
1 Peter 4:11 NIV
We are to be the kingdom on earth, an example to those who don't know the Lord through any and all trials and walks of our lives. 
In the last 12 months, our family has experienced the most trama we've had as a whole, and through it all we've grabbed hold of each other (family first) our friends and family, and the Lord ( our sure foundation). 
Our lives arnt perfect, God never promised us perfect lives, He promised us He would never leave our side. 
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.””
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

I hope this encourages you today. We havnt walked out this experience completely yet, but we are walking it out hand in hand with each other and the Lord and I encourage you to do the same in your trial. I'm a big believer in this fact: You can't live your fullest, happiest, blessed life without the Third strand in the chord. Trials will come and hurt will happen but you can have hope and peace! 
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV 

Blessings on you today!
