Of course Thanksgiving...

I know, the day after Thanksgiving this is like the 100th story of a person's Thanksgiving you've read. Oh Well...

I posted a blog earlier about how I hate Thanksgiving. (Read it...NOW!) Well this year was the best Thanksgiving. My Nana was here, my in-laws (who I consider like my own mom and dad..."in-laws" sometimes doesn't seem to give them enough credit), and my parents were all there (and of course me & Jeremy). We drove around Little River Canyon, which was very pretty and took our yearly pictures. Then after we ate everyone stayed at my house, played games, and ate dessert. After they all left, I put up our Christmas Tree, then we went over to our friends house. It was just fun. Maybe Thanksgiving is not that bad after all.

What am I thankful for? My Family. This can include so many people I am not going to name them, just know my family is awesome and I love them all!

How quickly does God move?

I'm not sure if I already posted a blog about this or not...but I'm going to again anyway...

How quickly does God move? Probably the automatic response is FAST!
Then ask...How quickly does God heal? Deliver? Prosper? Forgive? - Sometimes if you are dealing with any of these issues it may not seem like it happens FAST!

God taught me something about this recently. We are never, ever waiting on him. We don't have to jump through hoops to get forgiveness. We don't have to go through a long journey to be delivered. Think about it: In the world if you wrong a friend, you have to wait for them to forgive you and go out of your way for them. Or if you are (for example) addicted to something in the world you go through a "journey" to recovery to be delivered from it. Now why would God make us do these same things? He doesn't. God has put absolutely no limits on what we can do though him. We are the only ones that can turn something FAST into something tedious and long. We could possibly be wasting precious time on something that God has already delivered us from or already forgave us for. God does move FAST!

Thanksgiving for me...

So I'll just say it. I hate Thanksgiving, I always have. Growing up I was an only child, every family member lived states away, the food was good, but then the clean up was horrible. And cleaning up on a full stomach would always make me sick for the rest of the day. (I'll add that my parents are wonderful and did everything to make it special, but I just don't like it.) While all my friends were seeing their grandparents, and having a huge Thanksgiving feast, it just seemed like a normal day at my house, just a fancier meal (with a bigger mess). I always missed my family so much on Thanksgiving. So this year I am so excited. My Nana is here in town for this Thanksgiving and we are spending it with her. I can't remember ever seeing any of my grandparents on Thanksgiving. And we are NOT cooking, we are going to DeSoto Lodge in Alabama and have reservations there for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I am really looking forward to it. It finally seems like the Thanksgiving I have always wanted!

Support our Troops

This is something I saw on my friend Merecia's page today:

"If you can't stand behind our troops,
Feel free to stand in front of them."


Yea, that says it all on how I feel about the subject.

New funniest...

I could not stop laughing - enjoy!

It's fun!

I have been reading the bible a lot lately. Not that I didn't read it before, but I'm seriously reading it like crazy now over the past few months. You know, not just going through the actions, but actually learning and growing more. It's so much fun! It's amazing at how much something so little can change your entire life. What I mean by "little" is the time and effort involved. Just a changed attitude can give you can much more of God. In a small group a week or so ago someone said we should always expect something. Expectations...so I really thought about that, and I started doing that. Something so little can create something so big. I have always been saved, I was raised a Christian, I grew up in spirit-filled churches, and I have always loved God. I have always heard people say "you remember the way you felt when you first got saved?" and everyone gets all excited and says yes!! Well I don't, never have. I've always had God, can't really remember not being spirit-filled. Which is such an amazing thing. However, I don't think that feeling comes only when you first get saved. I think it comes when you are lit on fire because of what you see God doing, because of how amazing you see him working in your life, and because the more and more you learn about God you still know there is more to learn and love! Well I've got that feeling, and it's great! And the ONLY thing I changed was the people I hang out with, the amount of time I read the bible, and how much I pray. Isn't it so simple? With God the possibilities are endless...

Who's on first?

Try not to laugh
