May 4, 1996, I married Brad McMath. Little did I know how much MORE I would love him 15 years later. He is truly the love of my life. He is compassionate, humble, genuine, and a man after God's heart.
I am so glad that God picked him out for me. I tell him often - that no matter what God calls Him to do - I will follow him anywhere. I am his #1 cheerleader and I believe in Him!

Mia the Comedian
The past two nights we have finally gotten back to some semblance of normal. We have had dinner at the table! This is something I ask for most of the time.....I just love it. I make a point for conversation....having each girl tell us about their day...(even if WE already know the answers!)
Last night (Valentine's Day) Mia told us that there is a boy named Aiden in her class. She then leans over to me and whispers... "I think he's the Love of my Life".
To which we all erupt in laughter!!!!! I asked her where she heard that and she reminded me they talked about this on a recent episode of Disney's "Good Luck Charlie"! That girl!!!!
THEN, tonight.... I am reading Macy's new book we got her for Valentine's day at the table after dinner...
(It is called "Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers; The Gospel" -very cute and VERY good at explaining salvation!)....
Page 1 goes... "Hi, my name is Gracie. I want to tell you the best news in the whole world. The best news is that God loves you, and He wants you to be with Him forever."
...to which Mia makes an indescribable silly face and says... "I don't want to... I want to stay with you, Momma!"

Something NEW I'm thankful for this year
Usually I am giving thanks for the typical things on Thanksgiving. Our family, our home, our provision, our health... But this year I have something new to be thankful for...
I am thankful for the call. The call to missions. Nothing has required more sacrifice, and nothing has brought more honor and humility to my heart. My heart now beats to a new rhythm. It beats with greater intensity when I think of the millions of people living in our world that have no knowledge of who Jesus is and what he came to this earth for. I long for them to know the same hope and love that I do. Knowing God has changed my life. I have never been the same. I was so empty before I came into a real relationship with God.
My heart beats strongly for those living in darkness to have their emptiness filled with God's all encompassing LOVE.
-----------------
I am thankful this year for those that have partnered with us. It is humbling. It is an honor. 63 families and 34 churches have joined our monthly support team so far. They are going to get us to Spain to do this work. They are going to keep us there to complete it. I am exceedingly thankful for their faith in us.
----------
My prayers today:
1. Mia's surgery on her eyes is scheduled for January 10th. I am praying for the doctor to have divine wisdom and to be able to perfectly correct her eye alignment with this one surgery.
2. My friend Heather is in an adoption battle for her little girl that she has had since birth through DHS. The birth father showed up right before the adoption was finalized to say he wanted her. In recent days he has been wavering in that decision and has stated that he doesn't even know if she is really his. I am praying for God to complete the work of putting Layna with the family he has chosen for her. They do not have any other children.
3. I am praying that God will get us to our field. We must be 100% funded through monthly financial supporters before they will send us. I feel the stirring that we need to be there NOW. The window is open to reach people through media NOW. Please pray with us that God will stir hearts and that more churches and families will become monthly partners. We still need about 75 more people/churches to join us. McMath Family Support Page

There is one more thing that I am thankful for in a new way this year. I am always thankful for this - but this year it is stronger than ever before. I am thankful for God's gift to me of my husband. He is perfect for me in every way. I love him now more than ever. I will follow him anywhere God leads Him. I believe in Him. I am thankful for the 2 little girls in my life. They become more wonderful every day. It is a gift that God chose me to be their Mom.
