vivian penuel

My first guest is Vivian. However, I think her parents really should have named her "The Terminator" or something similar. Viv is an instructor at the YMCA and leads a BodyPump class where I am pretty sure her main goal is to make you cry for your mommy. In all fairness, I will say that I can now do a correct clean-and-press!
There are lots of layers to Vivian. She is a wife and mom of two children -also experiencing the empty nest for the first time since they are now both in college this year. Davidson Academy, Nashville, is also fortunate to have her for the
Director of Marketing, Communications and Alumni. Their family is very active in ministry, serving faithfully wherever called.
I am truly blessed to be able to call Vivian my friend!




T
o make a list of gratitude
Helps me to have a different
Attitude.
Not wanting to neglect thanking the
King of Kings for every good thing,
Singing praises to His glorious name, the
Giver of every good and perfect gift, who
Invites me (us) to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him. This
Victor over eternal death and damnation,
I am inclined to fall at His feet,
Never wanting to disappoint and disobey, but
Glad to know that He forgives and forgets when I do.

Amen! I am certainly thankful that He loves me even when I am at my ugliest! And, how much more richly blessed am I that there is nothing I can do that He will not freely forgive me of AND forget, if I only ask for forgiveness? That is a God that I want to serve and follow! Thanks for the encouragement!
