Diverting a pity party

The best way to take the focus off of ourselves and our circumstances is to put the focus on the LORD. So, in order to divert the ensuing pity party... a list.

This list goes on infinately (because we are indeed talking about an infinite GOD), but with my narrow, human perspective, here are just a few of the awesome deeds GOD has done on my behalf:

-Salvation (John 3:16)
-Friendship with Jesus Christ (John 15:12)
-Hope (Romans 8:24-25)
-Peace (Philippians 4:6-7)
-my awesome spouse/partner/best friend
-my beautiful children Ashleigh Ciera, Austin Christopher, Amy-Hui Carmichael and Anna Chenghao
-some of the most fabulous family a gal could ever hope for
-the community of Grace (my church)
-some rockin' awesome fellow adoptive moms
-my powerful prayer partners
-the constant opportunities to build perseverence (James 1:2-4)

That's a start.
(I do believe that's a 10-4. Pity party diverted...)
