The Reason

Sometimes I feel like I don't acknowledge enough just how much God blesses me everyday. I try to make it a point to be thankful for everything that God gives me, but sometimes I just feel like I take so much for granted in my life. I am going to TRY (I'm sure I will miss some days, but hopefully not) to blog every single day about the things that I am thankful for. Hopefully this will last for an entire year and won't "die out." My goal is to at least have 7 things to be grateful for every day. Hopefully I will have more, but for now that is my goal. I had thought about just journaling this in my personal journal, but feel like if I blog it then maybe it will keep me accountable. It is VERY easy to not keep up with a goal if you do not tell anyone about it. I will try to not be repetitive so that I will not bore anyone to death. Everyday I will thank God for our baby that I know he is going to bless us with so be prepared for that. This is something that has been layed on my heart to do regarding our fertility situation so I'm going to be obedient and thank God for our healthy baby (or babies) that He is going to bless us with. I pray specifically for twins (one boy and one girl) everyday so if you want to join in on that prayer feel free to.

Today I am thankful for:

• Kentucky winning against Florida so that Rich is happy.
• Getting to eat at Cracker Barrel instead of having to cook.
• Having TONS of groceries in the fridge for dinners and lunch this week.
• Being able to go outside for 30 minutes of Recess with my students instead of having to play games inside.
• Having a washer and dryer to do my laundry.
• Getting a load of laundry finished after work and before I went to the PTO meeting at school.
• Being able to go to a job that I love.
• Having a laptop that we didn't have to pay a penny for.
• Getting to take a 30 minute bath today.
• The DVR-so that I can watch American Idol tomorrow when I get home from school!!
• A healthy baby and for the peace that God has given me about having a children.
