Day 364: As I reflect on 2017, it was definitely marked once again with God’s FAITHFULNESS and LOVE!

❤️2017 was a tough year, but also a year with many reasons to celebrate His goodness over our lives! 
❤️Whatever 2018 brings, I always know God will be there ready to show us His faithfulness and love once again!
“Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches the to the clouds.” Psalm36:5

The other night our fire alarms went off, and I got the boys out quickly! Brian stayed to assess the situation, and we realized the smell was coming from our furnace.
