counting my blessings once again....

I am so blessed. I'm sorry if this is repetitious for some of you or if I continue to repeat myself, but I just can't get over how incredibly blessed I am!!

I'll list of few reasons why:
-I have the spirit of the Living God inside of me!
-I am a part of a community of believers (I love my church!)
-I have a place where I belong (spiritually and physically) and can grow more and more into the woman of God I want and need to be!
-I have an incredible family! I love my mom, my dad, my sister & her hubby, and my brother.
-I have amazing friends (both guys and girls) who support, encourage and bless me daily!
-I have a 9-5 job that provides money for food, rent and some extra
-Did I say I have an incredible family and friends!?!?
-I have victory in Jesus over death, darkness and sin!
-I have life everlasting!
-I have my health
-My destiny is Jesus!

If God is in me and God is love how can I not feel so blessed? I have LOVE itself living inside of me. This love is alive! How can I not be joyful? How can I not share this?

I know that circumstances sometimes suck but even through the crappy times there is this foundation of love inside of me. This love gives me hope. Hope that healing will come and that God is faithful and just to complete in me the work that He has started.

God is doing great things in and around me. It's beautiful.
Just like fire spreads so should the love of God! I'm tired of keeping it to myself. I want to be known for loving like Jesus!
