I don't know about you, but I tend to take life for granted, from the "little" things like being able to take a shower everyday to the "big" things like having parents who love me and do whatever they can to make my life wonderful (which they do by the way!). The Lord has used many people and events in my life to show me how much I take things for granted. He has shown me how quickly someone can be taken away, He blessed me with a liver disease that has brought me closer to Him and has been a witness to my family, He used a dear sister (Sarah) to help me realize how each day is precious and a gift from Him.
I think about how often I grumble because "... it's too hot", "... i miss mom, daddy and josh." and so on, and yet I just lost an aunt who battled cancer for 4 1/2 years and still woke up everyday wondering what she could do for someone else.
What a blessed life I live!! What an amazing Savior I have!!
Father- I praise You, for You alone give me life and breath. You alone protect and provide for me. Lord, help me to trust You with the smallest and the biggest of issues in my daily life. Help me to look to You The Author and Prefecture of my faith. I praise You for each triumph and each trial for I know it is only You growing, and molding me to be more like You. I love You with all I am, and hope to be! In Jesus Name, Amen
About Me
- Whitney
- I believe in the Creator of the university, and the beautiful Gift He has given. I believe in dancing in the rain. I believe in counting to 10 before acting out. I believe in laughing until I cry. I believe in smiling at random strangers. I believe in giving all you’ve got. I believe in sleeping late. I believe that being in love can make you believe in magic. I believe in family and the beauty of unconditional love. I believe that true friendship is hard to come by. I believe that the people who mean the most to you are often taken away from you to soon. I believe in second chances. I believe in days spent with old friends. I believe in making memories with those you love. I believe that you should live each day to the fullest. I believe in stopping to smell the flowers. I believe a good cry and some chocolate ice cream can make any bad day better. I believe that money shouldn’t define who you are, I mean, you can’t take it with you when you leave. I believe that while I can’t control where I came from, I can control where I’m going.
