HEY! So right now, I'm pretty hyper. I had a cup of coffee and a red bull so bear with me on this one. (Reasoning for destroying my body: I am working from 9 PM until 6 AM for Black Friday- and I need all the energy I can get!) I have never really consumed an energy drink but they really are powerful! My friends would love it if they could be here right now. S/O Morgan, Jessie and Allie. But seriously, I don't recommend these especially to people who are like me and are ALREADY hyper to begin with. So once again, bear with me.
Happy Thanksgiving! Isn't it so great.. we have this one day to just be so thankful and nothing else. I keep seeing things like, "why count your blessings today, why not everyday?" I strongly agree, but I bet you about 10% of people will actually follow through with that. I know the Word talks a lot about giving thanks and not to let your prayers become too selfish, because the Lord deserves to be thanked too, you know? I mean look at all He's done in our lives! We better be thankful. You'll find so much more joy in thanking Him rather than complaining to Him asking, "why?" Trust me :)
I was reading my old YL leader's blog www.lindzcomb.blogspot.com and she talked a little bit about me :') and how you guys can have hope by knowing that the LORD can transform not only someone's life but their SOUL! It's real! I've seen it happen in a matter of not even three years. She helped this happen and without her I wouldn't be where I am today! I am so thankful for her whether she knows it or not. I pray to God that He blesses her everyday and that she will just take flight in making her community a community of BELIEVERS and that she will be encouraged by Him to take bigger steps everyday to changing the world. If you're reading this right now Linds, PTL for bringing you into my life. FORREAL can I get an amen! Gosh guys, think about it, where would you be without that one accountability partner that helped the Lord drastically change your life?
So just some updates since the last update which wasn't too long ago... Today my car broke down. I know horrible right?! Actually it wasn't. I broke out in a hot sweat but after that I pretty much brushed it off. I mean my car was parked at a Wal-Mart.. and there were a lot of people there. Like it could've been much worse! I said you know what? God new that my car was going to break down today, and if He didn't want it to happen He wouldn't have let it. And I was SO comforted in that that I just rolled down the windows (it wasn't completely dead thankfully) and reclined my seat and was on my way. (not literally, hehe) It was so relaxing, and most of all I was happy. Who do you know that's happy about their car breaking down?
I've been listening to Christmas music so much lately. My favorite song so far is competing for it's spot.. it's either Mistletoe by Justin Bieber (I can't resist.) Or Baby, It's Cold Outside by The Glee Cast.. It's literally SO great! Just makes me wanna dance. I'm so so so excited for this season. And I'm not even thinking about presents! I know the Lord is going to do so much in my area this Christmas season. I've already seen Him working so much this past week! At my church, we are giving away jawstring bags to fill up with Christmas gifts for boys and girls who don't really have a Christmas at all. We started off with 25,000 bags and by the end of this past weekend.. ALL OF THEM WERE GONE!!! It was seriously one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. So many people wanting to give! It was truly amazing. It made me think of at Work Crew when we'd ask each other where we had seen God that day, that's what I would've told them. So basically, the Lord has blessed me so much and right now all I can talk to Him about is how much I am thankful for what He's been doing in my life.
I asked you a few blogs ago but I encourage you to ask yourself again..
What are you thankful for?
