"Count your blessings, name them one by one."

Well, Folks.. It happened. I turned 18.
Funny how fast it all goes. Seems like yesterday I was a little 13 year old girl, watching all the other 17 & 18 year old girls, wishing I was their age. :P


This year for me has been a really good one. I feel that this past year I've really grown in a lot of ways. God has been teaching me so many things about Himself and this world. I've become more aware of how I do things, and respond to different situations.

Last night, I was laying on my bed feeling like crap. I had been sick for the past week. I lied there thinking about everything that hurt.. my throat, my eyes, my nose... (it was the worst sickness! :P ) and I realized that .. I was just thinking about all the bad things.. I was just dwelling on what was wrong. So, I decided to count my blessings. As I started counting my blessings I realized just how much God had blessed me, God has provided so much for me, and my family. He's been so gracious and Loving. So, I decided to write out all the blessing that God has given me. Here are a few..

#1 Having God in my life.
God is my dearest friend, I love Him so much, only cause he first loved me on the cross. While others may reject me, lie to me, and betray me, My God will Always love me, Be faithful and true, and always be by my side.

#2 A family who loves the Lord and Cares for me
My Parents have taught since I was born to walk in the way of the Lord, to follow his plan for me and my life, to be obedient and truthful. They care for me in every possible way, Their love for me is un-conditional.

#3 Being apart of an Awesome church family.
My church is my favorite. I attended that church since I was born. that's where I met most, if not all my friends. My church really is a caring and thoughtful church, I couldn't ask for a better one.

These are just a few of the blessings that God gives. I am so thankful for His grace and love.
And I pray that this next year for me would be full of good things. :D
