God has blessed me so much!

 

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality 

will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

- John Calvin

God has really blessed me! All my life has been a blessing from God. From a little child of being saved from a fall, to having wonderful parents and great upbringing in the country who raised me to know Jesus. I have been blessed beyond measure. All the blessings that have come into my life were not a coincidence I am sure. Nothing ever really is. Working on the farm as a teen brought some real eye opening experiences for me. School and then work at the restaurant. Then them wanting me to be a manager of a restaurant and doing the training to discover in myself that I always really wanted to be a teacher. So that is what I did. A lot of challenges, but I was brought from New York to Massachusetts, then Mexico and Alabama then Florida, all just seemed to work out, it was God preparing me, doing so much to lead and open up doors for me. Opening doors to get my doctorate and be a professor and publish over 100+ peer reviewed papers, I was able to do so much, I loved teaching math and working with teacher training, I won many teaching awards and always had excellent annual evaluations, I was even able to retire early with a great incentive which paid a nice payout and benefits. It has all been a real blessing from God. Just like now, being able to enjoy the beach here, to go for walks through the woods, seeing the pond, and lake and enjoy all the nature here where I live. God has blessed me, and I am so grateful for everything. I know He is watching out for me and is behind the scenes and the one responsible for all the peace in my life. Thank you God for bringing us Jesus!
