1. Hebrews 13:5 God said that he will never leave me nor forsake me. I had a pretty rough night on Wednesday. An event occurred that had a snowball domino effect on me. As one door of emotions opened, the others followed. I was a hot mess. I won't get into the details right now, but just know that I was one unhappy camper. Well, after I finished unloading my burdens and frustration at the altar (of my heart- this happened in private), God stepped in to let me know that he knows and that he is here. He never ceases to blow my mind. So, I'm so glad that God knows all, sees all, understands us, and will never leave.
2. A shoulder to cry on I didn't literally cry on anyone's shoulder, but I did have encouraging words from people who care about me. Thanks Jen, @mindinae, @minusthebars, @boldintercessor, and @talulazoeapple for your words of encouragement. Every message and email is appreciated. Love you guys!
3. Life We should thank God for waking us up every morning! Did you know that almost two people die each second? Those are some crazy statistics. God carried you throughout your day. There are dangers seen and unseen that he has protected you from. Psalm 91:11 says, for he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. You are one of the fortunate ones to make it through. That alone is enough to offer up a genuine praise.
4. Music I love music. I don't agree with those who say that music is of the Devil. That's foolishness. Music is beautiful and is a gift from God. We are surrounded by talented individuals who have the ability to compose wonderful music. It's when the lyrics get crazy and we start talking about things that don't glorify Jesus that get us into trouble. I won't go into a sermon on this topic because its touchy, I listen to a lot of different types of music, and I just really don't feel like it. haha! But I will say that music has the ability to soothe, break yokes, and minister.
My thank you's were short and sweet. However, my life would be a hot mess without all of them. Now tell me, what are you thankful for?

Thanks, kiddo! I am glad I found ur blog when I did. You encourage me as well. I want to conenct with other bloggers who are also believers. Christians have views on every topic not just church. That's my goal - to connect with people like u.
Stay blessed because you know you already are!
Don't really like to read blogs on Fridays, especially with everything taking place at the workplace. But I had grown accustomed to Thankful Friday, cause it offers reflection for myself as well.
As you know, words of encouragement are always needed and appreciated.
Reading your sentiments concerning music quickly brings to mind the criticism that is often aimed towards my favorite gospel group Mary Mary. Like yourself, I believe the right music can heal.
