I feel like every Jesus-like blog I write about is when I'm having problems. I don't have any problems right now. My life is actually wonderful, and the best it's been in a long time. I'm just in praise mode. So I'm going to praise the Creator of the stars, the skies, and most importantly Beyonce. Just kidding. But really...
I am SO incredibly lucky... especially for my family. My parents and my brothers are phenomenal people. Really. I don't know how I wound up in the crazy family I did, but lately when I think about my family, my love for them almost brings me to tears. Seriously! (If you would have told me I would be like this when I was 16, me and my teenage angst wouldn't believe you). It's almost abnormal...how close ALL of us are to each other. Each and every one of us. I can only pray that God blesses me with a husband and kids that can have the same close relationships that I have with my family.
I'm thankful for being healthy. Sometimes I catch myself complaining about REALLY little things about my physical appearance. And the more I complain, the more those little things turn into bigger things. But Proverbs 31:30 tells me that none of it matters. All that matters is that I fear God. And boy, do I fear Him. I am healthy, I have all my limbs, and to me, that qualifies as being lucky.
I LOVE my summer jobs. I am so lucky to watch two incredibly well behaved boys that are in such a great family. Also, the snow cone stand is such a great cash job to have...AND I get snow cones whenever I want! I have a hilarious and God-fearing boss there. I'm lucky for the income I have, because it all just works out wonderfully in my budget.
One of the things that I am SO blessed by, way more than I thought I would be, is Oklahoma Christian University. God definitely put me where I belong. Being at OC allowed me to meet a few of the greatest people in my life. Coming from a public high school to OC was probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. I have grown so much since I started living in Edmond, and I know that growth will only continue. I'm excited to see what God has in store for my future there.
There are many things I could go on and on about, but God knows them, and my fingers are tired. So I'm going to bed.
Praise God I have a bed.
