Thankfulness

*Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 thessalonians 5:18



For a little of the past 24 hours I have been thinking alot about being Thankful in my situation. It is super hard to be thankful but I have so much in my life to be thankful for. I have an awesome family who love me, a house to live in, a car to drive, amazing friends, a job...I could go on forever about the things that I have to be thankful for. Over the past day I have realized that there is always something to be thankful for even in the hardest of times. I shared this scripture because it doesnt say be thankful for all things it says be thankful in all things and thats what I am having to do right now in my life is to realize that yes we can be thankful for all the things we have but when we get to a hard time in our lives we tend to forget about them. In the most difficult situation you can always find a reason for a thankful heart. I read the phrase today
'I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet'. No matter what the circumstances, I believe that there is always a reason to be thankful. Your situation may never change, but your attitude toward the situation can. With an attitude of thankfulness you can make the most out of a difficult situation.

I have NO idea what title to give this one.....

Its 4:15am and I cant sleep....Today started out good BUT boy did I know that it was going to end in the LAST way I wanted it to. The next couple of weeks maybe even months are going to be super hard. I am at a point now where I thought I had this year figured out has far as what I was going to do this summer, who I was going to be with for longer than just a year, when I was going to start back to school, what I wanted to do...but the big man upstairs(A.K.A God) had a different plan than I had as of like 12am tonight :(. I have been praying ALOT over the past two months about what I needed to do about a certain situation. I felt like I really didn't know what God was telling me to do so I just stuck it out and hoped it would get better and go the way I wanted it to go. At church on Sunday a Friend (TRES) stood up and said that God wasn't a God of time and it hit me on Sunday when he said it but it really came back in my mind tonight...So lately I have been waiting for a certain things...So after my situation tonight and praying for many hours tonight I really learned that my time means nothing that I can want something so bad that it hurts but if its not on God's timing and God's plan for my life it will never work out. I am one of these people that wants to have everything planned out and know whats going to happen but I am learning that I cant always be like that..people change, life goes on. *Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.- jeremiah 33:3 *Each person but be fully convinced in his own mind.-Romans 14:5 *Seek the lord and his strenght; seek his face continually.- 1 chronicles 16:11 *He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.-Psalm 25:9
