Guys, I have felt a great need for putting words to our small victories so that we can keep our eyes on what is lovely, pure, admirable, praiseworthy. This week, let's see your small victories (past and present) here in the comments, so that we can remember GOD IS AT WORK! We have all seen small miracles. Let's remember them!

Today I am remembering and praising God that Chris lets me pray out loud over him. In the past, he would have told me to leave him alone and that I was being dramatic, but these days he at least recognizes the significance of it and allows it without a fight.

LOVE this!
I'm praising God tonight for even tho Tony wants almost nothing to do with God, he recognizes that without Jesus i get negative & wordly. He often will remind me that we can watch a movie or what have you together, but I need to spend time with Jesus first & keep Him first..!
He (at times) understands that a demon is what keeps him from pursuing Jesus, & that this is spiritual warfar.
Also, his sister recently told me that when we first separated, he bashed God a lot but now everytime he gives advise, it's about trusting God!

& that's a awesome praise Sharon! I know what you mean; Tony doesn't like for me to pray over him.

Today I am grateful that G invited me to a dinner out with some of his friends. When his friends cancelled last minute, he still took me out just the two of us!
I am also grateful because I mentioned something my pastor said about noticing that I have been studying the Bible a lot, and G agreed (out loud) very heartily that I do study the Bible a lot... it reminded me that he definitely pays more attention than he seems to, which is encouraging since I hope to be a model for him.
Thanks for this idea, Sharon! I love both your and Mary's praises!

Today I'm grateful that, even though Andy and I are not communicating, by the grace of God we are still married. I don't know what the future holds for us but I'm claiming restoration, God's will be done!!

Today I am grateful for my beautiful kids. My step daughter Anniya, my son Christian, and my daughter Naomi. God is going to use them to further his kingdom and I'm so blessed to be their mom

Love this idea Sharon!
Today, I'm grateful for Garrett wanting to be sober and for being able to see God at work during the tough times.
We had some financial set backs today and Garrett got angry and wanted to blame God. After we hung up I prayed and after 2 hours my husband text me asking for forgiveness and said that he knows he's weak.

Grateful...
there is a lot to be grateful for if you choose to see,
a roof over my head, health, a job and food on the table.
A spouse and family I love though we are apart...
The ups and downs that comes with this stand,
My brothers and sisters in Christ, can you see?
God equips those who are able...
Seeking him is where we start.
There is a lot to be grateful for, because we have chosen to see.
Though our journey is long...and to us unkwown,
There is no other place I'd rather be...
than standing with y'all...& God in our heart.
Im thankful for all of you, y'all help me more than will ever know.

Peace that passes all understanding. I have sat here amidst devastating news and been uncharacteristicly calm and just at peace. Nothing, but JESUS could do that!! I can't explain it- but I know WHO to thank for it.

Today I'm grateful to God for never leaving me and never giving up on me or D. I'm thankful that there has been continued communication with D since the divorce was finalized. We actually have spoken more since the divorce than we have in 3 years. I'm thankful that he sent me an email Sunday wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. I'm thankful that he continues to tell me if I ever need anything to let him know and will do whatever he can to help me.
