I love...
Buying things at the dollar store because EVERYTHING IS LITERALLY ONE DOLLAR.
Finding Youtube gems and getting inspiration for late night activities in a small town. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WygNjMSllLQ
Raiding friends' rooms while they are on vacation.
The ability to get two free tacos every day for one whole year!
Free slurpies on 7/11!
Staying up until 4:30 in the morning watching dance videos and talking about everything there is to talk about with best friends.
Homemade hash browns for breakfast/lunch. Half of them were incredibly crispy and the other half were gray and mushy.
Waterproof mascara and pink nail polish.
Frisbee in the park and a BBQ with great firends.
10 dollars an hour for babysitting some of the cutest kids on the planet.
Watching the original Tron with my dad on the new TV.
The special effects in Tron. They are equivilant to that of Pacman.
Completely sarcastic texting conversations with the best big brother ever.
Jumping in the river as many times as possible.
A phone call from my sister from the airport before she left for her excursion through Europe.
Papa Dee who lets me borrow his car whenever I need it.
Crafts and room decorating with my amazing mama.
StumbleUpon.
Cheez-its and Pepsi, while watching Supersize Me. Oh, the irony.
I love...summer time.
It's the little things. It's the little things that keep me going. The little things that God has blessed me with.
I have the best life. You know why? Because I have the best parents. I have the best siblings. I have the best friends. I have the best family. Most importantly, I have JESUS.
Tonight, as I am laying in bed reflecting on all that I have been given, I am truly thankful. I am thankful for the little things, as well as the big things. I am thankful that I know Jesus. I am aware that I don't deserve any of the blessings I recieve, but I am thankful for grace. I am thankful for God's never-ending, all-consuming, unconditional love for me.
Though I don't deserve it, I am thankful for my life.
Maybe you've had a hard day, or maybe a hard week or month...maybe you've had a hard year. Even if that's the case, take a second and stop. Stop and think about all you've been given. Be grateful that you 're alive. Thank God for your life and don't waste it. Live it to the fullest, spread the gospel, and glorify Jesus.
Be thankful. Be blessed.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
-Psalms 100:4
