Richer than most!

I am not rich by any standard of this earth. If one was to peak into my checking and savings account they would quickly agree. I make ends meet. I have my financial struggles just like the next person. I am not a billionaire, I am not rich...

...But I am rich. After hearing a fabulous sermon by Pastor Brian, I realize even more how rich I truly am! I am rich in every heavenly aspect. I often find myself complaining about the little things in life, but when I stop back and look at the big picture, I find myself in awe.

First and foremost, I have been rescued by my heavenly Father. The one who loves me more than anything. I have eternity to look forward to. I have a family who loves me. My mom is one of my biggest supporters. She is constantly cheering me on! I have 2 great brothers, Caleb and Nathan who I love dearly. They are pictured below at my graduation 3 years ago.

I also have the privilege of gaining a new family. Roger's parents, Beth and Mike are some of the kindest and most loving people I have met. They have adopted me right into their family before we were even engaged. I can hardly wait to get 2 new brothers, Ryan and Reid. They both are different in their separate ways but I love them the same. The bond that I have with each of them is inseparable. They each bring something different to the table. I love the days that I get to spend with them! They are pictured below on this Easter picture that was taken.

On top of that, I must mention that I have a Godly fiancee' whom I cannot get enough of. He is my rock. He is my best friend. I could not live a day without him. I cannot even begin to explain how amazing our relationship is. He treats me with respect and his continuous love for me is humbling. I am so blessed to be with a man that is so good to me! We are pictured below at the Red Sox game we just attended

Even after all of those people in my life I still have more that are worthy of mentioning. I have a unique privilege of having a relationship with a family that welcomes me with open arms. They have always trusted me with their children and have allowed to have a special relationship with their daughters, Cadi. She is truly my little sister. I pulled up a picture from last summer when we went to Virginia together. I can not even tell you how much I love and adore this family. Their Godliness shows in everything they do. I know I have mentioned them before, but how rich am I to have yet another family to turn to? How blessed can one girl get?

I could go on for hours about how rich I am. There are so many things that make me rich that I could fill a book. I am just so humbled by the blessing in my life that I take for granted. I am so glad by the simple reminders that these pictures have brought me. I cannot even begin to express how thankful that I am that God has made me rich in Him and His blessings. I honestly, do not think I could ask for more. Could you?
