Brown Eyed Girl

I am thankful for my littlest sister! She is a blessing sent from God! She brings so much joy and sunshine into the lives of those around her. Every day I thank the Lord for her!

Peace Like A River

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and hath shed his own blood for my soul.
It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul.

Fences

I am thankful for God's rules. I view them as a fence that keeps me nice and safe. I know some feel boxed in or trapped by rules. However, I tend to like them. Then I know what is right. I don't have to guess. So, I am thankful God has laid them all out clearly for us in the Bible.

Mama and Papa

Today I am thankful for my Mom and Dad. Thank you for raising me to be who I am. Thank you for always loving me and supporting me in all I do. Thank you for being there whenever. I know our family isn't perfect, but it is the best family I could ask for! I love you both!

Mama, thank you for doing all the thankless jobs a mother has. Thank you for giving up your career so you could stay home with us kids. Thank you for your yummy food! Thank you for always seeing what I need help with before I ask. Thank you for showing me how to be a good mom someday.

Papa, thank you for working so hard every day. Thank you for all the sacrifices you make. Thank you for coming on youth group trips and being "Papa" to all of my friends too. Thank you for always coming to all of my plays and musicals and speeches and soccer games and programs and things, or texting and calling to ask about them if you couldn't get off work to be there.

I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

Friends!

I am walking out the door to stay the night at a friend's house and I realize I need to do a post real quick! I am thankful for Friends! This weekend I get to see 3 of my best friends who are away at college. And I get to see my fiance!  Most of all, I am thankful for the Friend we have in Jesus!

My Love!

In exactly two years I will be marrying my best friend! I am thankful that God arranged our lives so perfectly. I am thankful for everything my sweetheart does to take care of me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally!

Freedom

I am thankful for the freedom to worship God openly!
