Walking in the Light

Be thankful.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15

Lately I have just been dwelling on the bad stuff, but in reality.. I have so much to be thankful for.

"When you focus on situations that displease you, your mind also becomes darkened. You take for granted life, salvation, sunshine, flowers, and countless other gifts from Me. You look for what is wrong and refuse to enjoy life until that is "fixed".... When you approach Me with thanksgiving, the Light of My Presence pours into you, transforming you through and through. Walk in the Light with Me by practicing the discipline of thanksgiving"

-Sarah Young, "Jesus Calling"

Be thankful.

I said dart gun... not fart.. ooooo

Getting Starbucks at 8:30 at night with your best friend...

Choosing not to study, to shop online and watch a movie instead. 

And write this blog...

"Ope. There he goes."

"What up Larry"

"MOM! I'm going to go to the moon!"

"Hate that guy..."

"Aw my caterpillar never turned into a butterfly"

"You punched my shark!"

"....light bulb...."

"This is my warm-up suit. 

What are you warming up for? 

Super cool stuff, stuff you wouldn't understand.

Like sleeping?

THESE ARE NOT PAJAMAS!"

Eating. And eating some more. Being full. And then eating some more.

Yep. Just the little things that made my day so much better.

more like Him

Can you think of one person in your life that just makes you happy? That when you see them, your day is just brightened? I want to be that kind of person. I want to be able to make someones day, or at least make it a little brighter. I want to be able to show Christ's love and joy through my words and actions. I have been so self centered lately... I want to be more like Him: loving, compassionate, forgiving, joyful. God put us on earth to serve others and love people. Just love people... I think I can do that.
