My text to my husband this morning read.....5 years ago today you spent your day at church surrendering. His quick response of "Time flies," sums it up. These past 5 years are a testament to God's faithfulness. They have been the hardest 5 years of my life but I wouldn't have changed any of it except for maybe this blasted pandemic and probably the Ausili's move. But as a family we are so much sweeter and better. And as far as Mike goes God provided abundantly for Cornerstone and at this 5 year mark Mike is stepping into a new endeavor that undoubtedly God opened the door for which still allows him to keep Cornerstone but he will be scaling it way back.
In these 5 years we were able to keep our house which trust me 5 years ago tonight I was uncertain if this would happen. Anything the boys have needed we have been able to get for them. Financially we've been able to visit the Ausili's at least twice a year. God brought Mary back to town and her and John have been a huge blessing to my entire family. In this 5 year span my grandparents died, my dad died, I had my own health crises, Mike started his own business and will be starting a new adventure soon, Jay graduated high school, Ausili's moved, my mom had 2 strokes and we've just gone through the most historical election of my lifetime (thus far) and we've been in the depths of Covid since March. I'm still standing and everyday I'm so thankful for my God. He is faithful, merciful and gives me more grace that I deserve.
