thanksgiving

it does not have to be thanksgiving to give thanks. i am thankful now. february 20. yep. 

blessed

in the past month, a lot has occurred and a lot of it has been a bit overwhelming. it is times like these where i find myself totally running to God and letting him take control. why does this only happen in the hard times? that's not correct. without Him, i am lost. both good and bad happened. gain of one the loss of another. in the midst of all the craziness did i realize how truly blessed i am. the friends He has placed in my life for one are incredible. i definitely began to take advantage of specific things i had been blessed with. i had to put myself in check and realize that how i went about situations was horrible. not everything was going to go my way but realize that i'm blessed with what i have.

NOTE: this is an incomplete thought.

let go, let God

let go, let God. hmm, this is a term i've become quite familiar with. so many times i try to "pilot" my own life. sometimes it works for a little while, but sooner rather than later, it just ends in, well, no bueno. i've really taken this phrase to heart, in a sense that i am living it. i get so caught up in my own little crazy world, that it is just better if i take a step back, let go of my problems and let God take control. trust in God and know that everything works in God's perfect timing... not my perfect timing.
