hmm...
monday morning, nothing too much going on here. got off work at 9, there was nothing to do, so? i guess the rest of the day is mine, which is a good thing, b/c i have a lot to do today! but, for thr moment, i am just hanging out, so i thought that i would write a little something. 3 days until i head to the tundra, and it chooses now to dump a bunch of snow. but? so my life seems to go, so i will carry on as usual. i hope that it gets it over with, and then they have time to plow, so? other than that...? waiting to hear from the car dealer to see if they accept my offer, so? hopefully they do. but? yeah, just a nice quiet day, i guess... i'm out!

thank you Lord...
just a few things that i want to put on a list here, just to say thanks to God. (in no particular order)
1.) my life. my every breath, which is provided by the fact that he sent his son to die on a cross in order that i might have true life, one that extends beyond waht his world has to offer.
2.) forgiveness. he forgives me when i make mistakes, unknowingly or sometimes very knowingly, yet when i repent, he is fathful and just to forgive, and he does. for this i will be truly eternally thankful. the fact that he offers grace when i deserve death astounds me, and i hope i never lose sight of that.
3.) blessings. my family, my friends, with all the the 'things' that he gives me... not that i have to have them, but that he gives them to me to help make life go a bit easier. for a certain someone who has recently entered my life, she is a blessing beyond my wildest dreams.
4.) promise and hope. my life is not limited to what i can make it, but what HE will make it. there is promise for me, even if by men's standards i have none. and i have a hope in my Saviour, a hope for eternity, and a hope which directs me and leads me in this life.
5.) grace. this maybe should go with forgiveness, but? the fact that he extends grace to me only makes me realize how much i should extend to others. without his grace, i am nothing but a miserable wretch, who should be cast into hell. but, he offers grace to me, though i deserve it not, and this is truly a miracle of miracles... by grace and grace alone can i come into his presence and offer myself, broken and tattered, and have him accept my offering. not only does he take me, but he heals me, and builds me up, and strengthens me, and gives me a new start. every day. every time. grace truly is amazing.
thank you Lord for everything, i don't deserve it. thank you for your grace, and your forgiveness, and everything that you are. i pray that i will not abuse your grace, but always earnestly strive to please you as much as it is in me to do. and for the times that i don't, thank you for your forgiveness and mercy. thank you for loving me just as i am... but enough to not lot me stay that way. Amen.
