Strange Little Things

I think it's funny that on a day like today with all the darkness and clouds, I've become thankful for something. Cold. I HATE cold, but there is something so refreshing about being cooped up and so hot you think you are going to die and then walking outside into the frosty air. Don't go getting all crazy thinking that I want cold weather for the rest of my life, but today, I have a new appreciation for the cold weather. I'm still counting down the days until summer officially starts as I can start wearing shorts and TShirts, but right now, in this time, cold will do just fine.

Guess it just goes to show that everything has it's seasons...even the weather.

Yea. I know I'm not funny. No need to tell me (;

10 I Will's and I Am's

I will smile every day because God has given me a reason to.
I will love my family and treat them with the care and respect that they deserve.
I will let go of the drama and remember who it is that I represent.
I will take each moment and run with it because God never intended our lives to be boring.
I will find the silver lining in every storm.
I will make mistakes and learn from them.
I will grow stronger every day.
I will not be complacent and stagnant in my faith.
I will try to understand grace in a new way with each opportunity that I have.
I will follow the will of God even when I don't understand.

I am a child of the one and only King.
I am more than just what people tell me that I am.
I am enthusiastic about what is coming up in my life.
I am kind of scared as well.
I am blessed in more ways than I have time to count.
I am  saved from my abundant sin only by grace.
I am loved by my friends and family though I don't deserve it.
I am unique.
I am not a fan.
I am waiting.
