I was reminded the other day how great of a life I have. I don't want to sound prideful, but just wanted to count my blessings... (just a second... I just coughed up a piece of watermelon... ok. I'm back.) I was trying to be serious. sorry.
1) I absolutely have the most Godly parents who have trained me to love Jesus
2) I have a sister who is worth the 11 years that I had to wait for her
3) My grandparents are some of the most devoted Christians that I know
4) My friends... well, let's just say there's no way I can how much of a blessing they are
5) God has chosen to give me a passion for music, which a gift in and of itself
6) I get to worship Almighty God in a free country at the most amazing church every Sunday
7) I get to be a part of the team that leads in worship every Sunday
8) My dad happens to be the pastor of our church, so I have Godly counsel right at my fingertips
9) My mom is my best friend
10) I've gotten to go to Tanzania four times and share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and have my life changed in the process.
11) I have a full refrigerator
12) I got to go to London for my 16th birthday... thank you pops!
13) I am the one sent, not the one waiting to hear the Gospel.
14) I live in a nice neighborhood
15) My youth pastor and his wife are some of the greatest leaders I have ever met
16) I got to visit my cousins in France when I was 14... and got to see Paris while at it
17) I am close to my family
18) I was born in Tenn. Yes, I consider that a blessing
19) I live 20 minutes away from the ocean
20) I get to go on vacation down in the keys rather frequently
21) I have red hair.
22) My piano teacher is simply the best and she's taught me things about myself that I didn't know.
23) I'm homeschooled... and that accompanies a million blessings
24) I am loved by the people around me
25) Jesus Christ has saved my life and has given me a reason to live
I can't begin to say how grateful I am to God for blessing me in so many ways. I will never doubt His goodness. And even if I did, I would read my list again.
