I’m listening to Bishop Bruce Parham sing his song “Hide Me” right now. Such a powerful song.

I have been given so much! It is easy to get comfortable with things and take what I’ve been given for granted. It’s good to stop and remember every once in a while… short while =)

I’ve been blessed with friends that I’ve been honored to have by my side for basically my entire life! If I stop and look around or just talk to other people, they don’t really have friends they’ve known their whole life. People just come and go, and I’ve had my share of these too, but no matter what differences or opinions come between my friends and I, we always have the blessed fellowship and Joy of the Lord as our hope and Solid Rock! Its for This Rock I am thankful! Nothing of ourselves makes us stand.

I’ve been blessed abundantly with my family. One of a kind. Beyond words, the Lord knew/knows what is best for me. How sweet it is to be loved by you =)

Then all the extra goodies in life that are easy to take for granted. My skills, hobbies, furniture, a NICE place to live, food in my pantry, a car that I love and gets me where I need to go…. God is gooooooooooo GOOD to me!! I don’t deserve any of it.

I’m so thankful the Lord kept His hand of mercy and protection on me when I was lost. I was remembering a lot of things from my undergrad years the other day. Just knowing how many times I put myself in potentially dangerous situations arrogantly, naively, whichever fit at the time. Yet, the Lord protected me. Preserved me. He had mercy on me and saved me wretched soul!!!!! Hallellujah!!! How amazing. =)
