This is what I'm Thankful for...

2008 has been quite a year! I have so many things to be thankful for. While it is impossible to recall everything, let alone list everything...I'm gonna list a few by month.

**WARNING: THIS MAY BE LONG!!**

January: I'm grateful to know that my Grandma McCorkle, went to be with the Lord. I'm thankful for her help and wisdom which I employed countless times. Even though I miss her, there is no greater celebration than to know that she is now with the Lord and living without sickness or physical limitations. I am going to live my life so I have the opportunity to see and talk with her again.

February: Thankful for the opportunity to work with Chris and her team on the Easter project. While this was a VERY busy and stressful time in our home…I’m thankful I was able to participate! This has always been a fun time to work with my best friend John. John, thanks for your friendship and your loyalty to me in spite of me failing you as a friend at times.

March: While eating dinner with Logan on a Wednesday evening on our way to Bible study…my supervisor Jim Fohrman…called to ask if I’d be interested in a higher position (Project Manager). Duh! Actually, the way God worked it out was quite amazing. I am grateful to my Dad, Jim F, Steve F, and the Dunlaps for this great opportunity!

April: Logan becomes a Ten-ager!! Thank God for a great and healthy kid! I’m proud of you Logan!

May: Ella Star Clara McCorkle! Born on the 15th…has been a lot of fun for Uncle Ralph, Aunt Chris and Cousin Logster! We try to steal her from Cameron and Alyssa whenever we can!! I’m thankful that I can share in the joy of a baby…and still be able to send her home with her mom and dad!! Hehe!

June: Thank God for his help in achieving my first $500K sales month!! How exciting!! I’m also thankful to the people who have helped me at Centimark. An extra special thanks to: Cameron, Gavin, Jim, Lucy, Brianna, Sammy, and Victor. I value your assistance and input.

July: God Bless America. In spite of all of it’s quirks, the United States in still the greatest nation in the world. I’m thankful that I am an American! Thank God for freedom!

August: On the very last day of August, Chris and I celebrated 11 years of marriage! Like all married couples, we are still learning about ourselves, and each other. I will always be grateful to God for putting such a wonderful woman in my life. I love you Christina. You are the sunshine of my life!

September: My Dad has always been someone that I have admired. Thank you Dad for all of your help and insight when I needed it most. I love you Dad. Oh yeah…Dad turned 50 too!! Judy and Aunt Debbie did a good job on the surprise party! I love you guys.

October: October is known as Clergy Appreciation month. This year more than ever, I am grateful for my Pastor. More than just being thankful for Pastor Wilmoth…I’m thankful for the revelation of submission and obedience to my pastor and the Word of God. Thank you Pastor for being a great man and putting up with my antics!

November: Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayers! On the 30th of this month my step dad, Harry, will be baptized in the wonderful name of Jesus! My Mom and Harry have been faithful to the house of God since the first week of the year. I have been praying for them for at least 7 years! Thank you Jesus! I love you Mom and Harry.
