I love my Lord today. His grace is sufficient enough for all my days and more. Today I choose to write down all I am thankful for. I realize that it is not yet Thanksgiving, but I know that if I don’t do this now, Thanksgiving will come and pass without a single post. So here it goes…

I am thankful for…

the depth and breadth and great love of who Christ is 

the grace and mercy that is bestowed upon me daily

the worth of the relationship that I have with God

friends that understand who I am and who I am working to become

friends who are in my life for a short amount of time, for specific reasons that have the power to bring my heart joy everyday

all that I have learned in my CBS classes

Dr. Stokes and Dr. Lewis… enough said

the breathe that I have in my lungs everyday when I wake up

my family that means more to me than they will ever know

the opportunity to effect change in the lives of those around me

the opportunity to be the shoulder for someone to cry on

the ability to go to school at all

the ability to work 

the opportunity to live this life on this planet to make a mark for the cause of Christ

In all this I thank my God for all that He has chosen to lavish upon me, for all that He is doing in this world, and all He will continue to do for His names sake.

I’m having a hard time today.

Lord, keep me content where you have me today. Help me to realize that school and the things you have me in today are a blessing and should be kept as such.

I almost cried today…

I stumbled across a webpage today. At the top of the screen was a countdown calendar to Christmas. 39 days. 39 days was what it said was left until Christmas. In disbelief at this number, I navigated to my dashboard on my Mac and counted the exact number of days until Christmas on my nifty calendar and much to my surprise…39 is the number. I was in such shock! Shock partly due to the fact that it’s nearly 90 degrees here everyday and most of Southern California is on fire. Shock also due to the fact that this means that the new year will begin in just over 45 days…I might really cry this time. Life is flying and I don’t know how to slow it down.

I think we look alike…what do you think?

I did that whole yearbookyourself.com thing and started looking through pictures of family I had on my computer. Pretty interesting to me…

I think it’s awesome that America is meeting its first African- American president. I don’t care whether you voted for him or not, it’s such a sweet experience to be able to see this all first-hand. So interesting to see what these next few years are going to be like.

I’ve moved sites. I like this one better. Anyone interested in following, keep up with this one.
