Today:

Ok so I know this blog for me is kind of a way to write about life, and journal, for others to read and be encourged.

So Today....I'm just very Thankful. My heart is full of thanks for people. So many people have come into my life for whatever reason, but I see God working through them, and through me. Today I am thankful for family, for church family.....things have just made me think of my grandpa, who I miss today....He would always pray the same prayer...."Our father we come before you with a thankful hearts, for the wonderful day and the great blessing....Thankful for family, thankful for the food...Thankful for Chrissy, Thankful for Lorie, Be with those who are sick, care for them, help them, be with those we should pray for, bless them, In Thy name we pray...Amen" It was always the same prayer he would pray just about every time. I just am full of thanks, no other way to put it!!! I'm so thankful for Jesus, for His unfailing love, How He picks me up, gives me His assurance....I love it!!!! Lord I'm thankful, thankful for friends, for family, for my job, for church, for teachers I work with. Lord I love you, I want to walk with you, and In You my life is complete. Thank you Jesus for your blood sacrifice for me on the cross, thank you for the love and desires you have put in my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! May I praise you all the days of my life Jesus!!!

About Being Selfish

Hey everyone!!

I hope your day was great!!! Because God truly is good, all the time, and all the time, God is good!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!!!

You know how when you're around people and all the talk about is themselves and they never seem to really listen to what you have to say.....I feel that is how it is sometimes with our relationship with God...I feel lately like I have a big huge ball of me...(kind of like the big balls of rubber bands wrapped up, if you've ever seen them before at Walmart or Target)....like a ball of chaos and confusion, or like a mis-combobulated contraption that doesn't fully serve it's intended purpose....so God has to gently pull apart the individual rubber bands of SELF, so he can put HIS one and only band (Jesus and His HS) around and through me and in me to use me as I have never even thought of, or imagined. I realize I have to let go of my life completely and let God do His thing, His perfect will and purpose for my life....I have to lose my own vision and have God's vision that's mapped out for my life. I did not come into this world alone, and I don't understand why I would think that I can do and live my life for my own way, or my own purpose, when I will fail miserably. Jesus is all that I need, truth be told. Keep it simple christian!!!!!! AAHH!!!!!

Philippians 4:19 says:

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

As long as I have Jesus, I will never have to walk through life alone, ever!!!! I just think that is SOO AWESOME!!!!! so that means God knows my needs, and he not only wants to; but the bible says God WILL meet all my needs!!!! It's cool to think that everyday when I go to work, home, eat, and yes even sleep....I'm never alone!!! God is like this friend you can always count on, and a person who understands me for me....and gets me and my craziness at times :) Thank You Lord for never leaving me alone, for never forsaking me!!!! This Life God has created for us to live, in submission to Him, is by far the craziness and coolest decision I think I've ever made in my entire life!!!!! DUDE!!!!! JESUS IS MY HOME-BOY!!!!!!!

Jesus help me to stop being selfish....to put aside my own ambitions and go hard after what you would have me to do!!! Help me not to gaze at my problems and glance at you....but rather gaze at YOU LORD, and just glace at my problems!!!!! I love you Jesus forever and ever!!!!!!!
