Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving! I loveeee Thanksgiving. 
Not only do I love the concept of it, being thankful, but I LOVE the food. I love cranberry sauce, dressing, olives, ham (not a big turkey fan), corn, rolls, deviled eggs, green bean casserole. I just loveeeee it!


Well, back to the thankfulness of the holiday, I have so much to be thankful for. When I sit here and try and think of a list, I get so overwhelmed because I don't even know where to start..

- I'm extremely thankful that God loves me. That there's nothing I can do to make Him love me any less. Even though there's times I mess up and do the wrong things, His love isn't dependent upon my actions.
- I'm thankful for wisdom. Throughout my Christian walk, I've learned that God speaks to me through wisdom. There's things He teaches me and lessons I know that have no relation to my life, but He uses me to speak those to others. God uses us.. that's enough to be thankful for.
- I'm thankful for my family. Sometimes they are crazy (excluding me ;) jk!) but I am grateful for each and every one of them.
- My friends bless me everyday. Sometimes I don't stop and appreciate the people God has put into my life. I have some of the craziest, hilarious, genuine, powerful, smart, inspirational, wisest friends anybody could have. Thank you guys for sticking with me. 
- Holidays
- Healing!!
- Sleep
- Laughing
- My RLC family
- MCUSA
- Apt. 1404
- Transportation
- A job
- Clothes
- Water and food
- Cell phone
- A roof over my head
- Freedom
- Safety and comfort

The list could literally go on and on.. I have to stop myself before you guys get bored of reading!
Long story short, I'm extremely blessed and thankful.

I wish Thanksgiving came more than once a year. We should all stop periodically and thank God for how great we have it. Like I said in the last post, every day may not be sunny, but be thankful you're alive to exprience another day.

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving friends!

NEW NEW NEW

I LOVE new things...

I mean, who doesn't??
So, I'm sitting here at the church at midnight.. creeeepyyyy.. waiting for all 345,433,300 updates and things that my NEW iPHONE 4S has to go through..
This is definitely not the highlight of this new experience.

Last Tuesday was my birthday, and on Wednesday my family ordered me this phone. It came in today, so I picked it up after work.

I'm not a huge tech savy kind of person... I don't need to latest technology. So getting this phone isn't what I'm ubber excited about.
I'm just really excited for this season that I'm taking my first few steps into.
I've kind of been in this rut lately, and by lately I mean the past few months. It was pretty much a 'woe is me' party. Expect I tried every justifiable excuse to make it seem like it wasn't. I was just down.
Well, these past few weeks, and especially last week, God has really just been opening my eyes to my wrong mindsets and views. He's changing my perpective, yet again. ((New Perspective..blog name! Crazy how God works.))

Sometime life stinks.. that's the plain hard truth. Every day can't be sunshine. We need to experience the rain in order to appreciate the sun. Things are going to happen that are out of our control. This world is so much bigger than us. Good things we have a God who is SOO much bigger than the world. The one thing we have control over is how we handle the things we are dealt; our attitude.

"When you're stressed it means you're not relaxing enough. That's why stressed is desserts spelled backwards."

Love, Meg

 

LET THE BLOGGING BEGIN!

I'm feeling inspired to actually use this thing I created.. I'm extremely undisciplined when it comes to sitting down and writing down some thoughts, which goes completely without saying (I've updated this blog like 5 times!).

But with the changing of the seasons, I've decided some things in my life can change as well.

Wish me luck!

Love, Meg
