How blessed are you?

Have you ever stopped to consider how blessed you really are? I have been thinking about life in general recently and came to the conclusion that I am a very blessed person. Here are just a few examples:

1. Family
2. Friends
3. Health
4. Education
5. New Life

To me the most important one is new life. I'm very thankful that I had the privilege to be raised in a Christian home. I'm thankful for the generations before me that made the choice to follow Christ and what a legacy that has been past down to me. I'm thankful that at a very young age I made the choice to be a Christian. The Christian life isn't easy at times, and yes I've had my share of trials and will still continue to have them but I wouldn't trade this Christian life for anything. I have peace and joy within that nothing else but salvation can bring!

This past weekend was an excellent weekend! I was able to get a lot of homework accomplished. I am currently not as stressed as I was before. Last night, was a good night and a bad night all combined. My volleyball team won again! This is the good thing about last night, the bad thing is that I got hit in the head with a football thrown from across the gym. Yes, it did hurt and I still have a headache from it, but I must say I'm thankful nothing bad came of it.

Last week I got an answer to prayer and I'm very thankful for that! God always seems to work things out just when you don't think they will. There was a situation that I just didn't know how it was going to work out. I was getting a little stressed about it, but I knew God knew what was going on and would provide when it was best. I had just stopped thinking about it and knew that it would all be okay, when someone that I haven't talked to in a long time came up to me and said that they had been thinking about me. In the midst of this my prayer had been answered, and it was a reassurance from God that He has my best interest in mind! I'm thankful that I serve a God who holds all the water in the universe in his hands, and He's the same God who takes care of me

At times I'm overwhelmed

So, as I was looking over the stuff that I have to get accomplished in the near future I think I'm going to look like this before long. This week has been a busy week, and it seems like the next couple of weeks will be also. I'm just thankful that tomorrow is Friday! Friday night is the only night that I don't allow myself to do homework. I spend almost every Saturday doing homework for the coming week so I graciously allow myself to take Friday's off.

This weekend I am going to be gone of Friday night to some friend's house. Another girl from school is going so it should be lots of fun. We are going very far away also. We are walking across the parking lot to Donny & Becky's house. They are really cool people and I love spending weekends at their house! Its a great place to just relax and get homework done. Thats about all my weekend consist of. Have a GREAT weekend!

A glimpse into Sarah's week so far

I am so happy tonight! My volleyball team won both of our games. This is something that we haven't gotten accomplished in awhile. I have a good team, but we for some odd reason haven't been playing together as a team. But tonight we saw a miracle...hehe Hopefully this is the beginning of a winning streak!

This past weekend I was able to go home and had a good time. Most of my family was there and it was great to have time to just relax and get homework done. Sunday morning Reflection trio, from GBS, was at our church and they did an excellent job. I especially enjoyed Shane and Brennan Muir on the guitars. They are both very talented and it added an extra flavor to the service.

This week looks like its going to be another week of busyness. I'm not looking forward to it but I will make it.....A part of a verse is coming to mind at the moment....and this too shall pass." I'm going to head off and tackle the homework now.
