Blessings 107-119

Incoming....
Whew! I'm back!
Sorry that I've not written for so long! I just realized exactly how long its been. Life's been crazy busy. But I'm thankful that I've got so many new blessings to share! I've found a page in my journal where I'd been recording some of my blessings that I needed to share. Now I'll share them!

Blessing 107-My music teacher is MOVING! I'm not sure if I've explained this, but I've been taking piano lessons by FaceTime (Apple version of Skype) for about three or more years. It could be four. I love my teacher-she used to come to my church. She's a wonderful lady (like a Proverbs 31 woman exemplified). But she's been living across the country for SO looooonng! Anyway, she was back in my neck of the woods for a wedding (read blessing 108!) and she was teaching me in person. Imagine my excitement when she tells me at the end of my lesson that she is moving back! I'm so looking forward to her moving back! Piano lessons will be more beneficial then! If you think of it, pray for her! It'll be a hard time for her, trying to move with the holidays coming up. I know she'll be tired and a bit stressed (at the least!).

Blessing 108-A.R. and K.P. (friends) got married! They got married the day before Halloween! It was such a beautiful wedding. A. has been a wonderful friend, and I was so happy for her and K.. It was a gorgeous autumn wedding-I've never seen our church look so beautiful! A. was gorgeous, too! She was a happy princess. I wish K. and A. P. the best in their life together!

Blessing 109-The command "Z" key. I use it a lot-I had to use it when writing blessing 107. It keeps me sane most of the time! :)

Blessing 110-Happy weekends! If you didn't figure it out, the wedding was two Saturdays ago. Wondering why I didn't write last week? Read on!

Blessing 111-Bible Conference! Our church held our annual Bible Conference. Biggest yet! It was amazing. I love being in nursery, but I was sad to miss the preaching in the final session! I can't wait to get cds of all the messages. Oh, and the fellowship and....

Blessing 112-...Getting to see so many of my friends was amazing! To build up friendships is such a blessing! I know more people than ever from camp, and it was great to see them all again. Oh, and I loved having...

Blessing 113-....My dear friend E.C. come stay with me! E.C. and I worked together at camp. We're both short (:D), so we have something in common! Well, we've got more in common than that. It was fun to stay up until 3:00 A.M. talking until we finally fell asleep to get slightly rested for the sessions the next day!

Blessing 114-I got to sing a duet with my sister at conference! She was singing alto for her first time in a duet. It was a little hard at some points (especially for T.), but we got through and people enjoyed it. It was great to take the time to learn a song with her. We enjoy singing together and have done it lots! We need to do it some more, too!

Blessing 115-Decorating my room. I finally got some photos of my friends up on the walls. ;) That's after about three months of waiting to do so! Wow...I'm so speedy! I also put up a little Christian horse plaque with a Bible verse, and a sticky-phrase-thing that says, "For with God all things are possible". I also got all my cds up in room! :) I've got a lot!

Blessing 116-Making and wrapping and giving Christmas gifts. Last year I wrote a play called, "More Blest to Give". I love giving! It is so fun to make a gift (or buy one) while thinking of what a surprise it will be to the recipient!

Blessing 117-Getting to be part of a Bible Verse Exchange e-mail chain! I loved being honoured with getting the e-mail from a dear friend. I sent it on. Now I've had the chance to share and receive Bible verses!

Blessing 118-The Song of Hiawatha and Other Poems. This may not mean anything to you. But when I was in a second hand store and saw this book for sale, I was very happy! I've gotten this book from the library before-big, beautiful, and chock full of the amazing works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I've memorized part of the Hiawatha poem-if you haven't read at least some of it, try it! You'll love it (hopefully!). The talent of that guy is tremendous! It's the version by Reader's Digest. It was awesome to get it (it might have been around $5, but worth it!).

Blessing 119-Getting a chance at life. I've been trying to figure out how I can make a difference in the por-life/pro-choice battle. God has shown me several things (yesterday He gave me a poem from the perspective of a post-abortive mother), and I'm so happy that I know what I believe about life. I've very blest to have been born to a mom who adored me and wanted me. The fact that I have life is a blessing-so many children have it torn from them before they are even born. ~"Thank You, God, for the chance to live life! Let me live it for You!"

That's my post for today. I'll be back soon!
God bless!
