Thankful Friday

This "Thankful Friday" is late. (Thanks Don for the reminder) I didn't have a dull moment at work today. I really didn't have a dull moment this week. This week I stepped in the ring and fought a round or two. Ugh..... You know the drill: post to follow. But for now, I'll focus on the blessings in my life.

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?

I have a free day today!!!

Well, actually, I have a free evening. I don't have to be at church tonight and I have no errands to run. So, hopefully I can get all of this stuff in my mind down on paper; or on the internet in my case. Sunday night as I was driving home from church, God dropped something in my spirit that I need to get out.

Free days are prized treasures for me because they happen so infrequently. When I have a moment, I have to strategically plan out what task I want to accomplish. I need to do my hair also. :(

Let's just hope that sleep doesn't trump all of the above. I'm so tired. I have gotten a total of 9 hours of sleep over the past 48 hours. On top of that, I've been running off of Twix, Snickers, Skittles, and Sweet&Salty Almond Bars from Wal-Mart (those things are FIYA and only $2.00 for a box!) So, my body is mad at me. I just need a good night of sleep.

After I write, if I write, I'm going to turn off my phone, put the ear plugs in, and go straight to bed!

I'm done rambling for now. Be blessed.
