Thank you!

It was hard for me to share the struggle in my marriage last week. I thought a lot about blogging about Philip and his struggle with alcohol. I am so thankful that I made the decision to publish the post!!
Thank you to every one who is praying for my husband and our marriage! Last week I was so depressed and so anxious about the weekend. I was worried that Philip was going to come home from work with a bottle of beer and some liquor. I did not want the weekend to come. I was sick to my stomach just thinking about the weekend. I was sure Philip would come home with some sort of alcohol. I am so happy to announce that Philip did NOT drink the entire weekend!! On Saturday our family was invited to eat dinner at a neighbor's house. Philip turned down the invitation because he did not want to be around the alcohol. My goodness! My heart overflowed with thankfulness and praises to God! I went to my friend's house for dinner. While I was down the street at the neighbors, Philip walked Joslyn to her friend's house for a sleep-over. He helped Allison pick out new school shoes online. Philip also gave the baby a bath and put her to bed! Sunday Philip gave me a "day off". He took care of Moriah and her needs all day long! God is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! Please, please continue to pray for Philip and our marriage. Thank you all so, so very much for your encouraging words, good advice, friendship and your prayers! I am so thankful to Deborah, Kela, Sarah, and Julie, my Mom and of course GOD!!! Please continue to pray for Philip and our marriage. Thank you!!
Your sister in Christ,
