@MissHaleyN

Thanks!

I Didn't Forget, I Was Just Being Lazy :):)

November 23rd:  I'm thankful for Steven who's been a super great partner in crime to me for so long.  Please don't ever change, Tuck.  I love ya, buddy.

November 24th:  I'm thanking God for all 4 of my fantastic grandparents.  Lucky me, I got the best 4 in the whole world!!   I'd be a totally different (and less happy) girl without each of them in my life.

November 25th:  I'm thankful for my trip to Ukraine and all the amazing people I met there.  My life is forever changed for the better.  I can't wait until I get the chance to go back once again.  I think maybe possibly I belong there...

November 26th:  I'm thankful for Jon.  The best "brother-in-law" a girl could ask for! This kid is fun and funny and silly and smart and he's going to turn into a wonderful man someday.  I hope I'm still around the family to see it...

November 27th:  I'm sooooo thankful for technology.  I know that everyone thinks it's the root of all evil, but I'm glad to have it.  And I'm pumped to see where it takes us next.

November 28th:  I'm thankful for SNOW!! It's beautiful!!

November 29th:  I'm so blessed financially and I forget to thank God enough for that.  He's given me too much.

November 30th:  I'm also super duper for Mason.  What a great guy! I can trust him and tell him anything.  I can also count on him to always hold the door open for me.  Thank you God for putting him in my life here at Harding. I love ya, Goob!

This concludes my whole month of Thankful :) but it does NOT mean that I am only blessed and thankful for 30 things.
Don't take one second of life for granted,
Tell someone you love them today!

College Girls Do NOT Have Braces :)

Miss Molly and me hangin' at the daycare on the day before my 19th Birthday... RIGHT after I got my braces off!! Yay!! :)

Today Is An Easy One!

November 22nd::  I don't even have to think twice about it; today, I thank God that I am done with braces! Hopefully forever this time!  But in addition to that, I want to thank God for delivering me through my car wreck.  The wreck was the unfortunate reason I had to get braces on AGAIN, but when you consider the alternative... braces seem like a gift from heaven.  The highway patrolman said that I was a very lucky girl.  But he was mistaken.  I'm BLESSED.  I had angels surrounding me on that day and my God is the only reason I came out of there entirely unharmed.  Thank you, Lord.

Day 21 of Thanking My Heart Out

November 21st::  I'm thankful for my past, and I'm thankful that it's OVER.  We study history in school so that we are not doomed to repeat it.... and this applies to my life.  I've done some great things, but I've also made some great regrets.  I'm thankful today for Moving On and Second Chances.
     I have a super good feeling that This Chapter in my life, is going to be one that I look on and smile.  I'm surrounded by people and places and things that make me as happy as I've ever been.

The More I Think, The More I Must Thank

November 19th::  Tonight I'm thanking the Lord for my sweet sweet crazy funny happy silly wild friend Parey.  She makes me laugh and I can't wait until we once again live in the same town.  I'm sure there are tons of way too fun times to come.  You're a light, girl.  Don't ever let any of those stupid people get you down.

November 20th::  Thank God for my home church family at Salem Christian Church in Salem, Missouri.  I would not be the girl I am today without those wonderful people shaping and inspiring my life.  (And I like the girl I am today, so THANKS!)

I Can't Express Enough Thanks-- Such A Blessed Life

November 16th:  I'm sooooo incredibly thankful for the nine years of friends and fun and community and safety and happiness and learning and healing in Salem, Missouri.  I'd never have made it, had I been forced to grow up in a big city.  Being a small-town girl, I thrived and I'm so thankful to have that chance.  God knew right where I needed to be to be the very best me.

November 17th:  I'm thankful for every single adorable wonderful perfect sweet child at SCC Preschool and Daycare.  I was blessed enough to have the chance to spend three years of my life with these babies and I love them all so much. I think of them daily.  My visits with them are one of the best parts of my visits home.  Kids: Please stop growing! :)

November 18th:  I'm thankful for my pretty blue-purple car named Sally.  She gets me everywhere I need to go and I'm aware that lots of people have to go without.  I'm one of the lucky ones.  Without my car, I couldn't get to HU and back and I love to be at both places so she's a vital part of my college life.

Thank you, Lord for my life!

More Thank You, Thank Yous

Novemeber 11th:  Thank God for out Veterans.  You are the bravest people ever!  I take the liberties that your service has given to me and it's a terrible way to be.  I'm truly grateful for all you've done.

November 12th:  I'm sooooo thankful for my Kendall 3rd floor girls! These ladies are too funny and full of drama. I love living here in all the craziness haha.

November 13th:  Thank God for the sunshine.  Just try to imagine life without it! Even in the middle of November, God has granted us beautiful, bright, warm, weather to enjoy outside.

November 14th:  Thank God for my feet! It may sound silly, but I had the best run of my life, and I'm lucky to get the opportunity to get out my stresses in this way.  There are so many in the world less fortunate than I am.

November 15th:  Thank God for the rain.  It's pouring here, and I am terrified of the rain... BUT I know that it's a blessing, that we need it, and that God will always provide.  He knows what is best for us, even if we consider it inconvenient or scary. I love you, Lord.

Still So Thankful

More thankful moments from my Month of Thanks!!

November 8th::  Thank the Lord for my sweet sweet sweet little brother bear.  How boring my life would be without him!  His giggles calm me down with nothing else can and his snuggles keep me going when I just wanna stay in my bed.  He is such a wonderful boy and I don't deserve him, but luckily, God let's me keep him anyway.  I miss him so much while I'm away at school.  I can't wait to see what a great guy he turns into one day.  I love you, Jess!

November 9th:  Thank God for America.  There a lot of common negative things about the United States and the people who live there, but the folks who say things like this are just forgetting that we, as Americans, are among the most fortunate people in the world!  We can not imagine what it is like to wake up in the morning and wonder if we will get any food at all to eat today.  It just isn't the life God gave us to live.  By allowing us to be born in America, God actually gave us too much and now we struggle with remembering how desperately we NEED Him to survive.  What a wonderful land God has placed me in!

November 10th:  Today I want to thank my Lord for my shelter.  There has been some small crime near my home in Searcy recently and I am so glad to have the security of a locked door.  I am able to sleep peacefully without worry, because God is kind enough to look out for me and bless me with a secure environment to live.  Also, my shelter protects me from the weather.  I don't suppose I would get very good sleep if God allowed all the rain we've had to pour into my room during the night.  I love the way God takes care of us.  He thought of every little thing.

Trying Not To Get Too Behind

November 5th is the day I'm thankful for my mom.  Why??  Because she's my MOM.  She's the best and she's a superhero.  No other mom could ever be able to put up with me, or anyone else in the family.  She's perfect for the job.

November 6th goes out to my daddy.  My very best buddy and the guy that loves me the most of anyone in this world.  I can only hope one day to be have as smart as he is.  I'm so much like him, and he knows it, and this is how we understand each other like nobody else.  I miss him every day.

November 7th I'm thankful for the season of Fall.  It's the prettiest and the most impressive to me and it's just easily my favorite.  This year, Fall has made my long drive home to Salem on the weekends beautiful and pleasing and it's helped me to remember to be in awe of God.  What a wonderful artist he is!
