Thankful, yes. I am.

I've been asked this question about 100 times since Friday..."What are you most thankful for?"

I haven't been able to give a single person my complete honest answer because, well, my list is about as long as the Mississippi River. You catch my drift. :) I have sooooooo much to be thankful for, or should I say thank God for. Yes, He deserves all my praise. If I had to pick the biggest thing that I'm thankful for it'd have to be God's amazing grace. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on Calvary so that I might have life. Eternal life. :)

My heart <3 is full because of HIM.

Here's a tiny portion of my "What I'm thankful for list"

God's grace. Daddy's patience. Mama's dedication. Brittany's passion. Aunt Knee's friendship. Beezie's "Hey Sug". Freedom. Christopher Allen. Cousins. Soldiers. President Bush. Mamaw/Papaw. Contacts. Jobey. Chapstick. Box Fans. Family, all of them. Cellphones. Indoor Plumbing. Houseshoes. The Gillentine's. Fellowship with my precious church family. Micah. Mox. Debo. Karen Kingsbury books. Bottled water. Pictures. Friends. Christmas with family. BSU. Health. Wireless internet. Car. Ice Cubes. Papie. Teachers. Remote controls. Soft toliet paper. Missionaries. Pillows. Future husband. Hobby Lobby. Jacob Kyle. Joy. Valleys. Mountain Tops. Voice. Sight. Memories. Caller I.D., etc, etc, ETC...

This list goes on, and on..I could bore you to death I'm sure.

Happy Thanksgiving. :)

Love God. Love people.

He loves me utterly...

Everyone longs to give themselves to someone-- to have a deep soul relationship with another-- to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to a Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone-- with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me". I love you, my child. And until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me-- exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing-- a plan you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things-- keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. You just wait. That's all. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look at the things others have gotten or I have given them. Don't look at the things you want. You just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I want to show you.

Then, when you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would even dream of. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready at the same time-- until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you-- you won't be able to experience the love exemplified in you relationship with Me, and is thus, perfect love.

And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love I offer you with, Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am God. Believe it, and be satisfied." -Author Unknown

Election Day!

Today is a big day in our nation's history.

November 4th, 2008, election day.

(It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible. George Washington)

Amen.

This is my first presidential election to be able to vote in, and that's pretty exciting in itself.

McCain/Palin. All the way.

Any who, life is good. School is good. We have only 13 days until Thanksgiving break.

Excited is an understatement on my part. :)

Our BSU costume party went great. We had a huge turnout, and there were some very interesting costumes.

"Grease" :)

Salt & Pepper, Pepsi Machine, Pink Kangaroo (Dr. Seuss), and myself.

Where's Waldo??, Christmas Tree, The Incredible's.

Dr. McCoy

Papaw & Mamaw (both girls, haha), Fred Flintstone, & Raggedy Ann.

Nick & I, Play-Doh, Joel Osteen, Moses, John the Baptist, Deviled Egg.

The End.

Go Vote.

Love God, Love people.
