Thankful

I have become very tired of the scenario in which I find myself.  I am still at home, while my friends are at school. I have three weeks left and much to do, and waning energy with which to do it. And unfortunately, I have carried this as a heavy burden over the past few weeks. And then, yet again, the Lord was merciful, pointing out that I suck and He does not. Thus, a list of things not to complain or be pessimistic about; rather, a list of every good thing He has given me this summer:

• Family...
• Wonderful Sisters.
• Free Rent.
• Friends...
• Wonderful conversations with my best friend who was living in North Carolina this summer.
• Four wonderful women of God whom I met with (or tried to) weekly at Coffee Times!
• Shared experiences...amongst several of my good friends.
• Weddings and engagements to be excited about!
• Late nights on the Mallory's patio.
• Pillsbury cookies.
• Church Family...
• Great conversation with a woman in my church.
• A desire to see His ministry be effective!
• A chance to work in the church in which I grew up.
• New relationships.
• Singleness.
• Much learned.
• Wisdom.
• Humility.
• A heart for His kingdom.
• A chance to save money for school.
• Opportunities to give.
• Opportunities to serve.
• Opportunities to love.

Need I go on? So, when you begin to feel discontent...don't. God is SO good. 

Count your blessings.
