Who would have thought....

As I was heading out the door today to start my week vacation to Florida,
my mother was hanging out the window saying her goodbyes when she said,
"It must be good to be Kerri Phillips".

At first I was offended taking it as one of her envious comments,
but then she followed up with, "no really it must be"


I hopped in my Coblat,
slid down my sunglasses,
jammed my country music
and thought... "yeah, it is..."

Who would have thought, at 21 I can honestly say all my dreams have already come true.
I already have my dream job. Spreading the gospel.
I already have the love of my life.
I have some of the best friends God could have placed in my life.
I have my sister.
My mother is becoming happier...
My dad is happily married to a wonderful woman.
My brother restarted his life in Florida.
I am finishing college way better than I thought possible.
I have traveled the world.

woo... God rocks. Thank you for giving me this life.
I vow to use my resources to bring those who are lost closer to you.
I am very grateful, thank you.
I will keep dreaming big for you, for your people but thank you for allowing me to have this life.

KERRI!

So amazing to read about what God is doing in your life! ...As you pointed out, we should always be thankful to God for the many things he has given us. I am overwhelmed with his faithfulness!
