Thanking God.

I am happy, blessed to say that the Lord is doing amazing things in my life!

The biggest, greatest thing He's been working on for awhile now (my whole life, actually) is strengthening my relationship with Him. He wants me to need Him, and boy do I need Him!

I've asked Him specifically to show me ways that I can help make our relationship stronger, and He has. He's shown me things I need to remove from my life all-together, and He's shown me how to prioritize better so that He's more "CENTER" than ever before.

I love how He works, friends.

This morning on my walk with Ayden, I was praying for him (as usual). But today, instead of specifically "asking" for certain blessings in his life, I chose to start with thanking Him for the blessings He's already poured out.. not just in Ayden's life, but in mine, and Jaymes'.
I didn't realize it until we were on our last stretch of road, but I'd spent the whole walk thanking Him.

God loves us so much. I don't care who you are, or what your life circumstances may be.. the Lord has blessed you. If you have trouble realizing in what ways you've been blessed, start with Salvation. He chose to send His only son to die for you, so you wouldn't have to suffer an eternity in hell. His ONLY son, for people that may not even choose to accept that amazing gift of love. I cannot even fathom the depth of His love for us all.



Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
