I've decided that tonight I'm going to serve God by simply taking some time to thank Him. My life has never been easy and a lot of pain has come alongside a lot of pleasure. But lately the blessings have simply been pouring out. I don't feel like I deserve all the happiness that has been coming my way. But I am grateful and amazed at the goodness of the God I serve. Some things I'm currently thankful for:
* an exciting new position with my job that I love and adore
* my wonderful friends and family
* a caring new man in my life
* a great roommate/home
* the love and support of others through all the tough times
* the impending birth of my niece and the chance to celebrate her soon
* the immediate answer to my prayers while my car almost got stuck in a huge mud hole last night
One thing that I struggle with is the ability to accept the blessings as they come without worrying about the tragedy that seems to automatically come in my life. The reality is, everyone is going to have some hard things in life. And worrying about them won't prevent them from coming. All I can do is trust God to work things out for His glory.
