For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100: 4 & 5</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I woke up this morning singing the old song "I will enter his gates with Thanksgiving in my heart..." Today, on this day where we all stop to reflect on the things we are thankful for, I am more aware of coming to God with a Thankful heart. I am so thankful for his goodness, love, and faithfulness. Here are just a few things I am Thankful for today... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li>Jesus Christ, coming to earth to pay my debt, and for the relationship that allowed me to now have with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All of my life, thru every season, He has been a faithful God.</li><li>Luke. He is my soul mate. My best friend. My home. What did I do to deserve this amazing man? He is my picture of Grace. </li><li>My parents. My first support system. The people who believed in my from the day I was born. </li><li>My sisters, Elizabeth, Ashleigh, and Emily. My first and best friends. The girls who made me "Aunt April" and gave me the greatest nieces and nephews ever!</li><li>My Gran and Pop. They are another set of parents to me. They have helped ground me in my faith and make me who I am today. </li><li>For my Graham Family. Being born into 1 great family is amazing enough, but being able to marry into another incredible family with an awesome mom, dad, sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, is a double blessing. </li><li>Our friends. God has placed us in relationships with some of the greatest people on the planet. </li><li>My ACME staff and coaches. These guys have supported me and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. </li><li>Kristin and Krystle. The 2 best friends a girl could ask for. I can't believe I get to do life, and raise babies, with these incredible girls. </li><li>Bayside. Every day I am amazed and humbled that God has placed me in this church with such amazing people. The fact that I have the opportunity to serve God in full time ministry here is more than I could have ever asked or imagined. </li></ul><div>God help me to enter your gates, not just today, but everyday with a heart of Thanksgiving. For "you are good, your love endures forever, and your faithfulness through all generations." </div></div><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg20/AnnaHancy/AprilSigcopy.jpg" /></p>Luke & Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07146687766277937315noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198834865407992154.post-32307291729774559552011-08-17T09:47:00.003-04:002011-08-17T10:09:46.734-04:00The view from here...<div style="text-align: center;">I am going to forewarn you, this post is very sappy. I have no idea why... Maybe it's because my sister is in labor as I type, about to deliver her second little girl. But at any rate I am sappy today. Really sappy!</div><div>

It's my view every morning as I walk in my house after my walk. I can't explain why this view means so much to me, but each and every morning the feeling that comes over me when open the front door and step into my house is overwhelming. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I love my house. It is a reflection of me, it is comforting, it is organized, but it is so much more than that. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Proverbs 24:3 says "By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established."</p><p style="text-align: center;"> This home is something that Luke and I have built together (and are still building). As I walk thru that red front door I know that some of the most important people in my life are sleeping inside. I know that this house will soon be filled with the smell of coffee brewing and the sound of music playing. I know that a breakfast of eggs and grits and uninterrupted time with my Savior is about to happen. It's a haven. It's a place of safety and love and lots of fun! </p><p style="text-align: center;">This house has made a decision to serve the Lord. To run after Him and to walk in the calling that He has placed on all of our lives. My house is not the structure, it is not the stuff inside of the structure, it is the people within the structure and the filling of the Holy Spirit within. That is what's behind the overwhelming feeling when I walk thru the door. Not the stuff, not the decor, but the love and purpose within the structure. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I am so happy to live in this house, so blessed by what God has given us and done in our lives. So overwhelmed to be a part of what He is doing. </p><p style="text-align: center;">"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." </p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(Sappy... i told you... don't say you weren't warned!)</span></i></p><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg20/AnnaHancy/AprilSigcopy.jpg" /></p></div>Luke & Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07146687766277937315noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198834865407992154.post-42095410773627495812010-11-21T10:08:00.003-05:002010-11-21T17:13:43.612-05:00"God Gave Me You"<div style="text-align: center;">When looking thru these new pics yesterday the song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7M7cJ4DydQ&feature=related">"God Gave Me You"</a> kept ringing in my head. "God gave me you for the ups and downs, God gave me you for the days of doubt..." I am so grateful for Luke and for the relationship that we have. In the past 7 years of marriage, and 11 years of being together we have had A LOT of ups and downs. Life has happened and things have not always turned out how we thought they would. But I can say with 100% certainty that there is no one I would rather go thru life with. Luke is my best friend and the other half of me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I LOVE YOU Luke!! </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try

Matter What<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So much has been going on in the Graham household lately that it is really hard to know where to start. Pain, Sickness, Death, Sadness, Heartache have all been a very tangible part of our lives for the past 2 weeks. It has been a difficult season to say the least, and as we continue to walk thru this time our lives the faithfulness of God continues to be just as real and tangible as the pain and heartache. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">During this season my anthem has become Kerrie Robert's song </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA3MSqufJP4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">No Matter What.</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> The words have been healing to my soul as it she has expressed in this song the very feelings I have inside.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">No matter what, I’m gonna love You. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">No matter what I’m gonna need You. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">But if not, if not, I’ll trust You no matter what."</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">You see no matter what happens in life, no matter what comes my way, no matter what God gives me, or no matter what God might choose to never give me, i'm going to love Him, and i'm going to need Him, and i'm going to trust Him. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I am going to ask why?

One of Since October's new songs titled "The Show" is going to be used as the Theme Song for Wrestlemania XXVI!!! This is HUGE!!!<div><br /></div><div>Wrestlemania is like the Superbowl of wrestling entertainment! It is the WWE's biggest payperview event! It will be watched live by millions of people all around the world on March 28th!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The WWE will be using the song to promote wrestlemania, so "The Show" will be featured on all of the WWE programs leading up to the event (RAW, SMACKDOWN, NXT, ect.) WWE programming reaches nearly 16 million people per week in the U.S., and is available to nearly 500 million homes worldwide. This will be incredible exposure for Since October and a milestone in Luke's career. What a great way to start off the sophomore record!<br /><br /></div><div>I am so proud of Luke and how hard he has worked to get to this point, but the thought that has been going through my head all day is: God is faithful. If we are diligent to the call He has put on our lives, he is faithful. I am so honored and grateful that God has called us to do ministry in the way that we are doing it. It has been a very trying ride, but God is Faithful! He is able to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZAI0A1_K4fDoc3kqDeqz9plGGcCPjfQQfcUQeyb2akYyBGBDKn0y_kqiVl_i16rtwaDKkyda1ybnE3INETZLaGw3RHdHoOKvWwMhZb_gYJuMVoFMfRIsXcIS1836Xy6GILWPb39v7nSf6/s1600-h/mail.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZAI0A1_K4fDoc3kqDeqz9plGGcCPjfQQfcUQeyb2akYyBGBDKn0y_kqiVl_i16rtwaDKkyda1ybnE3INETZLaGw3RHdHoOKvWwMhZb_gYJuMVoFMfRIsXcIS1836Xy6GILWPb39v7nSf6/s320/mail.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444555712190864242" border="0" /></a><br /><p><img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg20/AnnaHancy/AprilSigcopy.jpg" /></p></div>Luke & Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07146687766277937315noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198834865407992154.post-90055003281796767312010-03-03T12:33:00.001-05:002010-03-03T12:33:49.617-05:00What do you think this could be???<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMpjmtNXI9sbe7D8-tqFs6kA85GiKPTnwj8ijAuuwDhIn4Y59qP-WsAq38XjIUg31CVnbFbz1jR03jjKwonP8rCky8fUF39LEKe27g5FcXBC7cvRjtsz0kWVNF2wHSADhIfOszYPUaWvKF/s1600-h/photo-729618.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMpjmtNXI9sbe7D8-tqFs6kA85GiKPTnwj8ijAuuwDhIn4Y59qP-WsAq38XjIUg31CVnbFbz1jR03jjKwonP8rCky8fUF39LEKe27g5FcXBC7cvRjtsz0kWVNF2wHSADhIfOszYPUaWvKF/s400/photo-729618.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444462161203526658" /></a></p>Luke & Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07146687766277937315noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198834865407992154.post-57856421948012122322010-03-02T23:37:00.001-05:002010-03-02T23:37:31.022-05:00Look what I made!!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6VGqWKeahQJ3UHcLwiqmSF0WlqzSijcFmN2We8w2WN8jpdEIWiSjHQU71307_mQnI8O9Uvof7Guvc1b1rdul9e2K-Y5IKB5MB15kxrnr9TyT84QIICL_EYkO4Hj-BfWRUfc7Ysjn0lAO/s1600-h/photo-751023.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6VGqWKeahQJ3UHcLwiqmSF0WlqzSijcFmN2We8w2WN8jpdEIWiSjHQU71307_mQnI8O9Uvof7Guvc1b1rdul9e2K-Y5IKB5MB15kxrnr9TyT84QIICL_EYkO4Hj-BfWRUfc7Ysjn0lAO/s400/photo-751023.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444262109212088274" /></a></p>So tonight was the first night of the cake decorating small group that <br>I am attending, and this is what I made.
