new

As a new stage in my life begins, so it seems fitting to begin a new blog. I will need to work on the layout and everything, but that is for another day and time.
I am going through some trials in my life at the time, but am leaning on God to get me through this. In an attempt to help me keep Philippians 4:8 in practice, I am starting this blog. It is going to be a praise journal. Rather than venting about the things wrong in my life, I am going to daily come here to praise God for all His goodness and glory, even during the darkest times of my life. Each day, I will list 3 (or more) things for which I am able to give praise to God.
Without further ado, I shall start with day one.

1. I praise God that I get to go to my 3-year old nephew's Christmas in July themed birthday party today! I will be surrounded by people God has placed in my life to show His love to me. Also, how much fun is it going to be to watch a 3-year old have Christmas in July? (It is his VERY favorite holiday, after all!)
2. I praise God that I have a healthy 2-year old child who lights up my day. He is truly a miracle from God from the moment he was conceived. I adore him. Especially when he randomly stops playing to come give me a hug and a kiss.
3. I praise God that His grace IS sufficient. I praise Him the He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. That He made the ultimate sacrifice so I could know unconditional love. He is an awesome God!


"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8
