I had such a good day. I am so thankful for the friendship I have with Katie and that we can always pick right back up where we left off. I am so thankful for the hilariousness that was Zumba class tonight and how good I felt after that much needed workout. Thankful that I am getting closer and closer to being done with school day-by-day. Thankful for all of the exciting things I get to go home to. Thankful for THE BEST family and friends you could ever imagine. Thankful for my ever-faithful savior.
I often wonder why God granted me such a blessed and amazing life when I am so undeserving. I am a sinner and my heart is selfish. But God sees through that and continues to show me how grateful I need to be for each and every single part of my life. I have parents that would go to the ends of this earth to show their support and make sure I was cared for; and that have raised me with a determined and caring spirit. I have family that is willing to give me amazing advice whenever I need it and make me laugh no matter what. I have Godly friends who would be at my beck and call to enourage and support me at any time or no matter what I needed. I have had every opportunity to do what I would like with my life and be who I want to be, to worship freely and openly and to go after my dreams. There are so many people who will never know those freedoms. I need to start looking at the big picture and how amazing my future is going to be..how amazing my present is now, whether I'm here in Georgia when I'd rather be home or not.
My whole outlook on things has been absolutely recharged and I owe it all to Christ. It is amazing what prayers can do..seriously. I talk to so many people on a daily basis that can't give me the comfort and unconditional love that God can..so why shouldn't I be in conversation with the God of provision and peace any chance I get!? I should be on my knees in prayer the SECOND doubtful or discouraging thoughts go through my head. It's mind boggling I forget to do that first. Yep, it should always be first.
"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." - Psalm 9:9-10
