Today I just want to…..

I’m tired.  I’m busy as crap.  All I can do today is think about my past.  All the crap that has happened to me, my family and my friends.  All the things my eyes have seen.  And with all of that going through my head, I have questions.  I have a lot of them.  But, the number one thing I feel today, is gratefulness.  I want to cry out to God and thank him for what He has pulled me out of!  I look around, and my worst days today are better than my best days back then!

I don’t have to hide anymore.  I don’t have to run from anything, and I don’t have to lie.  I don’t have to wake up, and wonder what kind of mood my mom will be in today, or wake up wondering where I am gonna eat my next meal.  I don’t have to wake up cold in the middle of the night, and I don’t have to wake up feeling empty, or withdrawn.  God has rescued me!  Holy cow.  I just want to shout!

It’s a great day to be alive.  It’s a great day to Praise God.  I encourage you to think about what you have to be thankful for!  And praise God for the bad too, it makes the good stuff SO MUCH BETTER!
