Blessings

Today, I'll admit is another struggle. I haven't written on here in a long time, but it's time to update everyone on something I think is important.

Some of you may or may not know that I am going through a lot now. But, as I'm attempting to edit my 12 page paper (yes, this is also a form of procrastination) I have Spotify on. All of a sudden 10,000 reasons came on and I was compelled to share. Even when we feel all alone; even when we feel like we are in the midst of the hardest thing we have ever had in our life, it's time to go to God. It's time to thank Him for everything we do have.

My Blessings
-A God who loves unconditionally. He does give and take away, but He provides comfort by telling me He will never give me anything I cannot handle. (He must think I'm a lot stronger than I feel lately!)
-A family who is always a phone call, text, facebook message, or skype away. No matter how long I spend away from them, I still am able to feel close to them.
-Christian education. Fact. I'm able to attend Trinity. WOW!
-Friends who are there any time, any day. Friends who understand when space is needed, when a hug is needed, and when vegging out is needed.
-Technology for allowing me to be able to look up devotionals that address anything I'm dealing with.
-The fact that I can carry my Bible around!
-Music.
-A new church and family that has welcomed me in and provided me with a home.
-An internship to practice what I have been diligently studying and learning.
-A car that gets me where I need to go. (Yes dad, this means I'm going to get an oil change for it and have the tires checked out.)

How easy it is to come up with just that list and I know there are tons I have forgotten.

Take the time today to reflect on how you are blessed, not on all the bad stuff. Exams are rolling around, but just remember: we are BLESSED to be able to attend college!

Also, if you are willing, take the time today to say a little prayer for me throughout what feels like thousands of changes in my life.

~To God be the glory!
