Counting Our Blessings

2010 was a great year!












2010 was an Amazing year for the Lietzau’s. I thank God for allowing us to see and feel him more than I ever have. This year was full of ups and downs. It was in the downs that I saw the Lord Move mountains and out of it bring Joy. The biggest blessings this year came in adopting our sweet daughter. I’m so thankful for him for grabbing the pen from my hands and checking not only minor heart defect but major or congenital defect as well. I know it was him and certainly not us. We walked blindly the whole time not realizing what we were going to face. If I had only known that he was going to take a precious little girl and save her life for many to see and understand that only he could do it. Never under estimate the power of Christ. He CAN move mountains and does. No one ever wants to walk though a scary situation like this but we are so thankful we did. I giggle when the doctors tell me they are still amazed she is alive and doing so well. I giggle because I understand it is by the grace of God. I know we still have a long road ahead of us with her condition. Some days I’m scared and revert back to my self and then I realize once again that it is not about me it’s all about Him. Job 12:10 "In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." He has Hannah in the palm of his hands and I need not worry. I’m constantly growing in this area :) He has grown a passion in me for the weak and I want to do all that I can to serve him faithfully.


I’m so thankful for Jason’s job when there were so many layoffs and down sizing going on all around us this last year. I’m also thankful for the joy of staying home with my blessings and homeschooling them. I’m thankful for friends and family that loved and prayed on us and walked this journey right beside us. you all mean so much to us. We hope you have a wonderful 2011.
