I will praise you through this storm

I am going through a heck of a storm right now. And I need to remember to still praise God. There is a reason for everything. So here is a list of things I am thanking God for. This is in no order. And this is not everything I am thankful for just a few things I can think of right now.
I am thankful for....
-His forgiveness/my salvation
-my daughter/her health and safety and happiness
-my hubby/his health/love and support
-my family and inlaws, their health/support/love
-my church
-my job and mike's job-with so many losing jobs, we are so lucky to have ours
-my sanity, even though I felt like I was losing it today:)
-Dallas and pumpkin (I know they are just animals but they are my family)
-my friends, I have the best and most supportive friends ever
-Even though I thought I never wanted kids, God gave me gabrielle. I can't imagine my life without her.
-Terrence, despite everything, there would be no gabrielle without him.
-My self control to have not made the situation any worse than I did.
-My mom's honesty, I have and I am hoping gabrielle has it too
-Mike loves gabrielle as if he made her with me
-Mike supports me even when I mess up
-we are back to do okay money wise
-God never gives up on me
-chocolate and pepsi....I would be lost without them
-internet, can't imagine life without it
-my home, so many are homeless, and even though I don't have a mansion, I am not on the streets
-unanswered prayers
-God knows the answers
-I will get through this storm with His help
-food-I help with the food pantry and I know how lucky I am

I could go on and on but these are just some that come to my mind at 10:40 at night.
