Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so incredibly bad at this blogging thing....if there are any of you still reading...

I am consistently amazed at how my God blesses me and amazes me! As Thanksgiving comes upon me, I am enjoying reflecting on the Savior's goodness...everything that I have is because of HIM!

First and foremost, I have a Father who loves me beyond explanation or understanding no matter what! Even when I am not the most loving or faithful daughter, He is right there. PRAISE JESUS! He has blessed me with SO many things that I do not deserve...a husband who loves me for exactly who I am, yet still encourages me to be better...a mom and dad that would walk over water for me and who continuously love and support me...a sister who has the most tender heart towards me, and towards the world (plus she married a pretty freaking awesome guy!)...a beautiful niece that reminds me how precious life is...aunts and uncles who have been in my life since day 1 and love me like their own kids...my husband's family who has taken me in as a daughter and a sister, not just the "in-law"...my wonderful, amazing friends - friends who have known me my whole life and STILL love me and friends that I have met over the years and treasure in my heart...the amazing adults in my life that have counseled and mentored me...the a church body that is indescribable - I never knew that church could be like this...a home that we've had the chance to dig in and remodel...a job...

The list could go on forever and ever...

I hope you all have a wonderful time with your families tomorrow - and remember...everything you have is because of CHRIST!

Desert Song

We sang this song at church today...it was the first time I've heard it and WOW. Spoke to my heart! Here are the lyrics! If you want to see the video and an amazing story behind this song click on this link: Desert Song by Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert

And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

Verse 2:
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

Verse 3:
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

Verse 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow
