Faithful living

I am sitting here at work and thinking about my life. I have a great life! I am married to my best friend, we have a perfect apartment, two wonderful kitties that bring us so much joy, and my little sister lives with us! And who do I have to thank for all this? God. That is the only person. He has given this all to me and I could not be more blessed. I know I don't have it perfect. We aren't wealthy. We don't have a house. We both work all the time. We have my sister living with us in our first year of marriage, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Joel reads his Bible everyday. I do not. But what I am reminded of is that when I don't read my Bible even one day, it means that everything else I did that day was more important to me than sitting down for 10 minutes and taking in my Father's words. I don't like that. Nothing is more important to me than praying and reading my Bible. So I am working on reading my Bible everyday. Before I go to work, at work, or even when I babysat last night. Any time that I sit down to read it during the day I just feel better.

Things have been awful stressful here at work lately. And I can be in one grumpy mood by the end of the day. But why am I letting things get to me? I have a job. Do you know how many people would kill to have the job I have? I get to be with God's children all day! I get to go on field trips to the park, the movies, the gym, and go to tea parties and pirate parties! I can get off work pretty much whenever I want! And I work for a Christian daycare that has God in our curriculum everyday! I am even starting Praise and Worship with the kids on Tuesday mornings!

I also get to be with kids on Sunday mornings! In the second service I help out with children's church at my church. I just love kids. And I am blessed to get to surround myself with them all the time.

And when I'm not at work or church I get my little sister! She's almost 15....weird. But I just love her and love getting to spend time with her. I will cherish these moments with her forever!

God blessed me with quite a husband. He's my best friend, shoulder to cry on, back scratcher when I can't sleep, and level head to bring me back down to Earth. He puts up with a lot from me. And he always wants what is best for our family. He works hard all week. And helps with the youth on Wednesday nights at church. He really has a passion for them. And I can't wait till the day he finally becomes a youth pastor!

So if you talk to me I may complain about wanting something and not having enough money, or wanting to get a new job, or it just be me and Joel again. But I can honestly say that I am loving life right now. How could I not? God has blessed me with amazing people and I could never want to change what He has given me.

I will praise God always. Through every storm. Through every sunny day. He can and will get me through anything. I will always be faithful to my Savior!
