THANKFUL

Not sure how time escaped me to blog,  but it has. I'm well aware that I'm probably the only reader of what I write on here, but at least I can look back and remember what all has been going on in my life.

It's already the Holiday Season, and many people on facebook/twitter spent the month of November sharing what they were thankful for. I participated in 2 or 3 days, but didn't voice more of what I am utterly thankful for...so, I will do so in a blog. For the sheer fun of it.

1. I am thankful first & foremost that GOD LOVES ME. No matter the day I have, I can stop, breath, and soak in the love that He graciously gives.

2. I am thankful for a RELATIONSHIP W/ JESUS. My life would be a mess without Him, and I live to serve him.

3. I am thankful for the love of my life, JEAREN. He is the best husband/friend!

4. I am thankful for MARRIAGE. I know I'm lovey dovey, but this makes my heart so happy. What a gift!

5. I am thankful for FAMILY. My parents, my siblings, my nephew & nieces, my In-laws, and all extended family. This is a HUGE part of who I am, and I hope to pass on the importance of family to my kids one day.

6. I am thankful for FRIENDS. They have challenged, inspired, and encouraged. No matter the season, I am thankful for different people coming into my life.

7. I am thankful for GOD'S PROVISION. Never once have I had to live in poverty, without food or water, shelter, or clothes.

8. I am thankful for my APARTMENT. Seriously, God blessed us almost 2 years ago when we began looking for apartments and came across a deal that only He could have created for us!

9. I am thankful for our CHURCH. Jearen & I have been going to The Destiny Center in Haslet, TX for a few months now, and we know we are right where God wants us!

10. I am thankful to have a JOB. Period.

11. I am thankful for a CAR that gets me to & fro, with heat&air.

12. I am thankful for PHOTOGRAPHY. Having pictures to look back on really make me smile. That's why I have so many/take pictures of everything.

13. I am thankful for money to pay off STUDENT LOANS. I WILL be debt free one day, and I'm making my way there inch by inch.

14. I am thankful for LIFE. I may not always know the direction I'm going in, but that's why I'm here, to figure it out.

15. I am thankful for GOOD MUSIC. And by that, I mean mellow, make you feel good, kinda music. My dad has such an ecletic love for music, and I know I take after him in that.

16. I am thankful for MANNERS. You know, yes please, thank you, excuse me. I was taught at a young age to always say thank you at dinner time, and I will be passing that down to my kids.

17. I am thankful for PRAYERS. Prayers prayed over me, prayers I can pray over other people. Praying w/ my family when we are together. Praying over Jearen before he falls asleep. Just the meer fact that God hears us, and answers us when we call.

18. I am thankful for THE LITTLE THINGS. Coffee, singing, shopping, cleaning, reading.

19. I am thankful for HEALTH. Air in my lungs, a beating heart, seeing eyes & hearing ears.

20. I am thankful that I have this evening to RELAX! And by that, I am done with this post.

So until next time, be thankful always!
