So, last night I was thinking about my life and how blessed I really am. I have so much and I take it for granted most of the time. Here is what crossed my mind last night as I was thinking about how blessed I am:
- I have a great family that I wouldn’t trade for the world!
Sure, we have our ups and downs and we may not be the perfect picture of the “American Dream” but we love each other and thats all that really matters!
- I have an amazing group of friends!
Oh my goodness! I have the best friends a girl could ask for! They always know how to make me laugh and always have great advice when I need it!
“My girls”, Sam, Angie, Jessica, Alaina, and Jessica, they always keep my on my toes! I never know what is going to happen next!
And, then there’s Miss Sarah Elizabeth Dodge. We have been friends since I was born, no joke! This girl keeps me sane! I go to her with anything I have on my plate and vice versa. Sometimes I just need to talk to get my mind off things. Other times I need her to say a quick prayer for me or whatever is going on at the time. You know it’s really bad when one of us tells the other that we need to move to Mexico, live in a hut, and make baskets. I know for a fact that anytime we start a conversation like this, either one or both of us will leave with a better outlook on whatever the situation is. I love this girl to death and could not live without her!!
- I have an amazing church and an even better church family!
Let me tell you, I could not live without going to church. I just love it. I think part of the reason I love it so much is because of my church family. I love being able to fellowship with other people who love Jesus just as much as I do!
Within my church family there is my Youth Group. There isn’t much to say about them other than just wow. Most of the time I sit with my hand over my eyes shaking my head, but I love them anyway!
- I have a job that I love!
Everyone tells me that I have a cushy job. And, yes, yes I do, I’ll admit it. I sit in an office for four hours a day and do typical office stuff. I would say out of the majority of teens today, I have one of the best jobs. That is unless you like the fast food industry...
- I am able to pursue a college education!
Attending college is a big deal in today’s society. Me being able to go to a very prestigious and expensive school for about as much as a state school would cost is such a blessing for me!
After realizing all that I have, my heart breaks for those who don’t have what I have. There are so many people out there that don’t have a family, or friends, or a job, or a church, or a relationship with Jesus, or maybe they can’t have a relationship with Jesus because of where they live. I have so much and yet I still want more. I think it’s time for me to sit back and enjoy what I have been blessed with and work to help others more!
