Thank God!

My mother and my sister both passed away in June. June is kind of a bitter sweet month for me. This last weekend my brother was in a car accident with an 18 wheeler. It wasn’t the worst accident in the world. But, when I talked to him, I have to say, I’ve never been so happy to talk to my brother. 18 wheeler accidents can turn bad quick. And my brother walked away from it. Not bump, bruise or scratch.

I have to shout praises for this one. I can’t thank God enough for not taking my brother from me. Because it could have happened. But it didn’t. I know he’ll say it wasn’t that bad, blah blah blah, but the truth is, every time I think about what could have happened, I get a little emotional. Thank God for any of us waking up this morning! But, today especially, thank God for letting my brother wake up.

I can’t say much more, I’m sitting here getting emotional all over again. Praise God!

Show-Off

I love it when God shows off.  When I feel like He did something just for me.  Like He is saying, “There ya go Son, that’s for you, I hope you enjoy it. But don’t forget, that’s really nothing compared to what I can do.”

When I look at this stuff, I realize I don’t give God nearly enough credit.  I don’t look at what is right in front of me, and realize how lucky I really am!  Holy wow.  I don’t think there are words to describe the Love running through me right now, the emotions from looking at these pictures, the absolute gratitude I feel for the blessings I have received!

Praise God!

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  I don’t have to wake up cold in the middle of the night, and I don’t have to wake up feeling empty, or withdrawn.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!
