.....just sitting here thinking about life, I became increasingly aware of how much I have to be thankful for. First of all, my Lord and Savior who has saved me from myself. He is the reason I live. He will be the reason I die. His truth has shattered the many lies that I had tried to hold on to. How He has pursued my heart and loved me first. His unrelenting faithfulness has won my heart and soul forever. Blessing and glory, honor and power be to the only One who is worthy!
So, as I begin to take more time to write about things that are on my heart, I just wanted my first blog to be about those in my life whom I'm thankful for.
My family has been such a source of encouragement to me throughout the years. I've been richly blessed with my family. I thank the Lord for giving my parents who have honored Him and who have run the good race of faith. Mom and Dad, you two are my heroes. You two have set the foundation of who I am today. Nothing, no one could ever take your place. I love you both with my whole heart. My sister is one of my best friends. She is my solid rock of strength and my example of determination.
My friends. My gals. I love them so much. I have friends who I've known since I was 5, and also have those who are "new additions". Either way, my life would not be fulfilled with out my ladies. Autumn, Lael, Patti, Amber, Ruth, Stephanie, Flor, Nicole, and now, Jenn and Dana...Some of you, I've known my whole life, and I don't even have words to say how much I love you. For the rest of you ladies, I've enjoyed every minute of our friendship and only look forward to seeing where life takes us.
And finally, Ronald. . . . I am not even sure I have the words to say to express my deeply felt emotions and affections for you. You are my life long gift that the Lord has given me. I am amazed that He would entrust your heart to me. Thank you for loving and cherishing me the way that Christ has so tenderly loved and cared for His Church. "He saved me wtih you" is a line of that song we both love that is so fitted here. I love you! And, how can I forget the Metting family? I love you ALL! I have loved every second of getting to know each and every one of you. Benita and Big Ron, you two have been so gracious and kind to me it melts my heart. Adrienne, I just love you!!!! I'm glad we can share so many common interests and can be a source of encouragement to each other. Meredith, I knew there was a reason that we met those first few times up at Starbucks. I loved you then, and I do now! Afterall, it was you, who told Ronald that you really liked me! :) Melissa, even though we may not know each other as well as I'd like, I just have to say how much I respect you! You really have set such a great example of a Proverbs 31 woman. I am blessed to have such an example of this in you.
Thus, begins my blogging journey. I can't wait to be able to sit and write whatever random things I am currently thinking about!!
Here is my wonderful family at the best school....A&M!!!
