I wrote this...being filled by my precious Savior.

Thankfulness

Thank you Lord for your mercy, for your kindness, for your unending grace
Thank you that when I am weak, you are made strong
Thank you for your inability to be confused by my actions, my thoughts, my motives, or my speech
Thank you for being sovereign, for knowing everything, and not letting me know everything
Thank you for the trials you give me, so that I may draw closer to you through them
Thank you for loving me even when my attention is drawn to worthless things
Thank you that through the physical illnesses, the pain, and the suffering I may go through, that you are there for me, holding me, comforting me, bestowing grace on me
Thank you for the people you place around me, for the way you use them in my life daily
Thank you for the joyous moments you place into my life, the wonderful blessings that make my heart soar
Thank you for my imperfections; so that I may not look to myself or others for perfection, but only you
Thank you that when I'm confused, that when my heart is feeling knotted, you are sovereign over my future
Thank you for conviction, so I may grow in you
Thank you that you even speak to me at all, the undeserving wretch that I am
Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice; something so unfathomable to our finite minds
Thank you for the gifts you've given me, and for allowing me to realize how undeserving I truly am of them
Thank you for your love, that it is always enough, always perfect, always true; that it will never falter, never fail because of anything we say or do


As always...much more could and always can be said.
Sorry I've not updated in so long...=|

God is amazing; He really is.

My life has been filled to the brim, overflowing with His blessings. 'Tis overwhelming, and I'm so thankful.
He's put people into my life that now I couldn't see not being there. They're all pretty awesome, and once again, I am so thankful.
School this semester has been extravagantly easy, and for that, I am thankful. I was even put on the Dean's List at College...wow! God did that!

Though I go through trials I haven't gone through anything life-shattering here recently; for that I am thankful.
A sinner such as I am so blessed; even when I wasn't filled with these huge blessings, I was still blessed, just in ways I didn't fully understand.
Even when I've doubted certain things in my life recently, certain obstacles came and tested me, He was still there and comforted me. I am thankful.

For the first time in a long time I'm not worried about my future. I've always found myself so focused on what would come, so anxious as to what the future held. As of now that is not the case; God has given me a sense of rest, a peace in my heart. I am more focused on the now and how I can use the now to serve Him. For that I am thankful!

He's put people to convict me into my life; without that would I even be able to grow? Only by God's grace, if He willed it. I'm just happy that He's used them to help me, really.
