Blessings

Blessings come in all shapes and forms. A blessing could be an A on an exam to the news of a new baby. I have so many blessings in my life. I would like to just list a few and share some photos of my blessings with you all. Please feel free to share some of your blessings with me and everyone else. (:

This is my best friend <3 I trust her completely and she is always there when I need her. We have one of the best friendships because it is all built around God. We met through a mutual friend at a christian concert. We started talking again during a found raiser for camp two summers ago, and that summer we became best friends. Shes helped me through alot and God truly blessed me with an amazing bestie! <3  She also knows how to make me laugh when im upset (: For instance- why was the bear afraid to cross the road?? ...... Because it was berry scared!!! (: haha best joke ever!

This is Coach wood and Mrs. Wood <3 Coach wood is the first preacher I have ever had. I didn't really go to church much until I attended Paint Rock Baptist. Mrs. Wood was the first Sunday school teacher I had. Even though they are no longer at our church, they are still blessings in my life. They helped me so much in my walk with Christ. 

Stormi and Johnathan <3 I could say a lot about these two. They have kept me going at times. It was actually Stormi who started taking me to church and camp. Shes been a huge part in my walk with Christ. Her family and her have accepted me like I am one of them. I am truly thankful for all they have done for me. They are all blessings <3 

My big sister and my rock star <3 Me and my sister fight but she has been there through it all. We have been through so much together. I can not even think of life without her <3 There is so much I can say about my little rock star. She is the light in a world of dark. She was a blessing to all of us and sometimes I feel she is what keeps my family together. <3 I love her more than words can say.

These guitars have gotten me through some pretty dark times <3 No matter what mood I am these ladies and gentlemen can cheer me up. I treat them as if they are my babies. Music is a great way to grow closer with God, and it was through music that I first felt God's presence. 

My bible <3 The best way to grow closer to God is by reading his word. No matter what, no matter what pain, joy, or angry, no matter what mood I'm in, Gods word makes it all better. He gives me hope, joy, peace, and love when I feel I have none. With God all things are possible. God is my blessing <3 although I don't deserve all He gives me, he keeps giving. His love is unconditional. We must decrease, He must increase <3

I know that I have shared this song before but it falls under the category of a blessing. <3 The first church camp I ever went to of summer 11' the band played this song the first nigh and I fell apart. When they sang "Take my life and let it be all for you and for your glory. Take my life and let it be yours" that was when I feel I felt God for the first time. This song is a blessing and makes me cry each time I hear it <3

I have many many more blessings in my life. Life itself is a blessing, the breath I'm breathing and things I'm seeing are blessings. Blessings come in all shapes and forms. The smallest thing, such as a butterfly, can be a blessing in your life. Look for these blessings in your daily life. If you focus more on God and his love, peace, hope, blessings and less on your problems; you will see a difference in your own life. Just believe and seek the things above.
