Decisions

It's been a very hectic week over here in my neck of the woods, and I have to admit that I'm glad it's coming to an end. It doesn't hurt that it is also ending on a good note. I've been worrying for a while about what direction to take in school, and since registration started today I needed to make a decision. Fortunately, God has blessed me by putting some wonderful people in my life that have been helping to point me in the right direction. So I think I'm going to turn my application in and hopefully be accepted into the medical assisting program. The career counselor I talked to said that it's not that hard to be accepted into, and she's pretty certain that I will be. That's my plan for now, but it could change again.I really hate making decisions. I mean, I have trouble deciding on what kind of potato chips to buy from the bookstore, so this is a pretty daunting task. On a completely different topic today's prompt is 3 things worn.

Weather

Yesterday was a very dreary day, full of cold wind and constant rain. Because of both of those elements our internet was out for the majority of the day. So of course there was no blog post. The clouds parted this morning though, and I'm now looking at a beautiful blue sky and the temperature is quite spring-like. Rain is necessary and it has its own joys, but I prefer a clear sky. It seems easier at times like these to notice the blessings surrounding me. Which brings me to this afternoons prompt....3 Gifts from His Word.

The Unexpected

Today lets be grateful for 3 Gifts Surprisingly Found. I'm also grateful for the fact that I only had two classes today. Just another reason why I like that teacher. :)

So Pure a Color

Here I am again today, just like I promised last night. As this is my last day of spring break, it wasn't difficult to find time to post. Unfortunately, that will change but I'll do my best to keep on top of things here. Anyway, here is the thankfulness prompt for this beautiful day. Three things white. Now that you've read that there is nothing but yourself to stop you from praising and expressing gratitude to the Lord! I'll start things off my telling y'all what I'm thankful for today.
1. A dress that was a gift from a sister
2. A desk for my room
3. Fluffy clouds against a spring sky

There's also something else I'm grateful and excited about, even though it's not white. That would be the number of views this blog is getting! I was surprised to see readers from far and near, and it makes me super happy. So just know that by reading this you're putting a smile on my face. 

One Thousand Gifts Dare

In the past few (ok maybe more than that) months my blog has pretty much died. But here I am, hoping to resuscitate the poor thing. The reason for my disappearance is once again that I have a life and letting the world know of my going ons has ended up at the end of my to do list. I actually probably would not be writing this now if it were not for a book. A beautiful, thought-provoking book that goes by the title "One Thousand Gifts" and was written by Ann Voskamp. In this book she challenges us to truly understand the meaning of Gratitude and Worship. It most likely comes as no surprise that the way to grasp these concepts is to slow down. Live in the moment. Stop and smell the roses as the old saying goes. How is it possible to live a  worshipful, content life if we're always rushing through it? I suppose it can be done. Sort of, but not fully.  If you're wondering how to lessen the pace, the answer couldn't be easier. Always be looking for something for which you are grateful for, and once you think of or notice that thing, thank God for placing it in your life. Written down it sounds so simple, but of course in action it's trickier. To help us out, she has kindly written out a prompt for every day. For example, today's was 3 Things Round. That means that I tried to think of and kept an eye out for three round things that I'm thankful for. Easy, right? To make it even easier for whoever reads this, I'm going to post every days prompt on here. You're welcome. :)
