Happy 21st Birthday me!!!
This isn't why I'm writing though. I'm writing because I am thankful. My mom sent me this song this morning and said "My present to you is all the stars in the sky so when you look at them tonight, so will I and we weill be together." She lives in Mexico.
I just want to say I'm thankful for the stars. I'm thankful for friends who care. I'm thankful for a loving God who doesn't give up on us when we've made our millionth mistake. I'm thankful for my puppy, my family and my job.
I'm thankful for new friends and old. I'm thankful for the ones who keep me accountable, the ones who build me up. I'm thankful that I've been in love. I'm thankful for laughter. I'm thankful for when lost friends are saved.
I'm thankful for the facial and massage I'm about to get :)
I'm thankful for all the new friends I've made this year (see previous post). I'm thankful for food and shelter. I am definitely thankful for this country where we freely serve the God we love. I'm thankful for the martyrs who give their life for God.
I am thankful for turquoise and dolphins, macaroni and cheese, chinese food, decorations, ice skating, LONGHORNS, otters, my favorite bands, band aids, windex. I'm thankful for dirt, stickers, milk, books, shoes, clothes, jewelry. I'm thankful for HAIR DYE! I'm thankful for scarves, cold weather, hot weather, the beach, the Bible, I'm thankful for the first time I saw my parents, the first time I went to Living Hope, the first time I met you.
I'm thankful for Six Flags, car insurance, college, smells, my ipod, SHANE AND SHANE!, I'm thankful for the internet :)
I'm thankful for Butch and his honesty and love for the Body.
I'm thankful for the fact that I have all these things and some others out there aren't as fortunate. But I'm also thankful for hope. I'm thankful that all these things don't matter. I'm thankful for THE PROMISE! I'm thankful for HEAVEN and the FUTURE and JESUS' BLOOD! Thank you Lord!!!
