it's about the little things......

My mom showed up the other night with 2 boxes of my favorite Girl Scout cookies.She was ordering from a friend and thought to order some for me :) That just made my day ! As my blog header says,it's about the little things and moments in life.It's about calling that friend early in the morning (which I did today) and asking for a favor knowing she would do it.It's being able to do the same for her (which I have). It's about sending my aunt a card the other day just because. It's about being excited for my friend who is at this very moment on her way to a much needed vacation in Florida.
I am so grateful that lately I've been able to take the moments in life and appreciate them.Life has slowed down for me lately and I'm so thankful for that. I'm not even 30 yet but I've realized "life is what happens while you're waiting for life". So,I hope you aren't just going through the motions of life.Do something,even just a quick little something,to make today unique and special. Also,pray for a state of mind that allows you to see the opportunities and not let life pass you by !!!!

how can I be angry (a borrowed blog)

I borrowed this from a dear friend.I thought you all might enjoy it :)

Ya know, sometimes life sucks. We all have stuff that we wish never happened. But, when we let God handle us in the situation we're facing...lives change. Your's and those around you. When we really and truly say, "ok, God. What do you want to do with this experience? What do you want to do through me with this experience? Here are all of my heart's pieces, broken pieces, confused pieces, hurt pieces, and the pieces that don't even know what they are. Do what you will. Knock yourself out." Things that were broken are mended; confusion turns into peace; and hurt is replaced with forgiveness. The "cons" will fade away--but the "pros" are lasting and life-changing. When we let God mold us in the midst of a difficult situation, we come out better than we were before. I can say with complete confidence AND humility that I like who I am now more than I did before. I love that God has used experiences in my life to catapult me into a new level of thinking and living! I am more of the woman God intended me to be and am living with more purpose and sense of destiny than ever before! When I look that those "pros"....how I can I be angry? How can I resent a person or an experience when I get to walk away feeling and knowing what I do? In fact...THANK YOU! Isn't our God amazing?! Isn't he so incredibly good?! Endlessly faithful?!?!
I encourage you to look at the things that have happened in your life and think about how God has used them for good. If you feel NO good has come of bad situations in your life then you didn't LET God do his thing. (I may or may not know your situation, but I know my God's character and whatever He touches has life) Let him catapult you into a new stratosphere!
