The Lord's Blessings

dear friends and family
i know i haven't wrote on here about my life in atlanta yet but that is coming soon.....
i wanted to write about the Lord's blessings that he has given me. have you ever just sat down and thought about that before? have you ever written them all out? i know that if you wrote them all out, you would probably be sitting there forever and ever.
i have been having a hard time with the transition of moving to atlanta, but a wise friend told me that i need to look at the blessings that God had given me, don't look at the bad side of it and it is how i react to the problem, that the Lord will work in my life.
i wanted to sit down and actually write some of my blessings down. i am only writing about the ones that first come to my mind. i encourage everyone to actually sit down and write down those blessings that come first to your mind. it makes you cherish so much more.

1. my salvation- i have no doubt in my heart that i am saved and i am going to heaven, AMEN.

2. my family- at least i have a mother and father that felt the love in their heart to adopt me. i have grandparents that love me so much. he also has given me other families that are not actually mine. the families have welcomed me into their families.

3. my church- the Lord has moved me from Tennessee to Atlanta, so that I can go to People's Baptist Church. i love this church now, it is my church home that believes in the bible and stands up for it

4. my friends- i am so greatful for the friends that the Lord has put in my life. he always seems to put them in front of me when i need them the most. i can think of countless times that he puts a certain person in front of me when i know that she will encourage me to do what is best. sometimes i do not know how i would have gotten through it without them.

5. the Lord's will for my life- i am so happy that he has a path for me

6. college- i am so happy that he has blessed the way for my college education. i did not get myself through college, the Lord got me through college.

7. a job- my job has enabled me to live a life that i do not deserve. the job enables me to have the money to do things that i would not imagine myself doing such as paying rent, food on the table, paying to get my car fix, and be able to help others.

8. another day- i am so happy that i am able to see another day.

I know that there are countless blessings that I could talk about but I felt that I needed to share this with my friends and family.
I think the mind boggling puzzle for me is that I do not deserve any of this at ALL.

Well this was on my mind and has been for a while. I hope all enjoy.

Love
Amanda

p.s i will try to write more on here, if time permits
