incredibly blessed (51)

As I prepare for a three day sailing trip this week, I come to the constant realization of how incredibly blessed I am. Not only do I have a loving, fabulous family, and an amazing man by my side, and a place to live and go to school, I have endless opportunities. Sailing trips, world experiences, and an upcoming dream trip to Africa.


The best part of all though, is knowing that His grace is an ocean and we are all sinking. I can say "I love Jesus" real loud and even though I may get weird looks or ridicule from friends, I can say it without being thrown in jail. I can meet with other believers in the comfort of our own home or in any public place. I can sing Christian music and pray in the park. Yet, I tend to keep my faith hidden at times. Hundreds of thousands of Christians around the world every year do not have these privileges and yet they do all of these things despite the consequences. Every three minutes a Christian is persecuted for professing their faith, thrown in jail for nothing more than believing that Christ is our Saviour! It's not fair. So when I look at my life, all I can say is that I am incredibly blessed.
