Thankful

I just got home from the Haven of Mercy. Both times I have been there has just been such a blessing. It seems that we as a human race get in this rut of feeling sorry for ourselves and saying "WOE IS ME." When I go there, it just puts my life into perspective. I know it is by Gods grace that I am not in the same situation. I am so blessed beyond measure!! I have a nice apartment that I share with my wonderful room mate and two awesome cats. I have food in my cabinets and refrigerator. I complained lat week about my freezer being left open, I should have been thankful... I could have lost everything! I have a warm apartment. I have a job to go to everyday, I may hate my job on certain days, but I have a good job with decent pay..I should be thankful. I have plenty of clothes... some of which are too small... but that means I have plenty to eat. I have the AMAZING opportunity to attend college. I get so mad at ETSU and some of the things they do, but I have the chance to better myself so I can take care of sick people! I have a WONDERFUL church family, who I grow closer and closer to every day. And I know I could call anyone of them right now, and they would be there for me.

I have the most amazing man in my life I could ever ask for. I don't thank God near enough for him. God knew what I needed in a man, and he sent me a gift in James. I know I don't tell him enough how proud I am of him and just how much I love him. I cant wait to see what God has in store for our future!!) Were coming up on 3 years in September... WOW! That's insane.... But I LOVE IT... I LOVE HIM!

I have sooooo much to be thankful for! I know for myself I loose sight of what I do have when I dwell on what I don't have. Thankfulness shouldn't just come at Thanksgiving. I realize that by seeing those less fortunate than I am. I really am toying with a burden to do more than just go down there and look around and take my lesson home with me. I really want to do something to help the problem. I know I can't fix it... I'm just not sure which way God is leading me. I had it on my heart after the first time I went down there... now I can't stop thinking about it. Help me pray that God will give me direction about what I can do.

Sooo... now I'm off to study some more pharmacology... got a HUGUMBO test next week... its make or break time!! I cant wait to be a nurse... just thought Id throw that one out there! G'Night!!!
