One of those days.

Last week I started a notebook of things that I am thankful for. I write one thing each day and usually post it with a photo of that thing. I started this because I know that it is easy to get distracted with the upsetting things in the world on a daily basis and I wanted to record and look back on the many blessings in my life.
Now, 10 days later, I am grateful that I started this challenge because today has turned out to be one of those distracting days. After a nightmarish sleep, a headache, forgetting books at home, losing a pen, and a long day of classes - you can see that I am quickly forgetting to be thankful for the good things that happened today - like a coffee date with my brother, seeing my best friend, eating delicious food, driving to school safely, let alone being able to go to school at all!
This day will soon escape my memory, but I pray that the act of being grateful will always be on my mind!
(1 Thessalonians 5:18) Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

all the glory!

i've now been home twice as long as i was away, but i thougt i might as well start up this old blog again.

and to kick things off i decided to share a verse that i want to be the theme for any future posts.

1 corinthians 10:31. so, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

that is my prayer for this blog, and most importantly, my life.
