Blessings

As I sit here at my office, working, I just had to stop and count my blessings. I am amazed everyday by God's grace and strength. Wether I am struggling with something at the office, with Cassidy, or any other thing weighing on my heart and mind, I often don't stop and count my blessings.

When I started this blog, I did so to keep all of my family and friends caught up with the our lives and what is going on in them. Never did I realize how addicted to it I would become. I am not saying that is a bad thing, but I do have to take a break every now and again.

Anyway, off that tangent and back to blessings. It is amazing how God's grace works. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family in my life, and such amazing friends. I love each and every one of them. When things go wrong, or something happens that I didn't count on I often think, "OK God, why me." What I don't realize at that moment is maybe it is God's grace pointing me in a different direction for a reason. Maybe it is God's grace that he is doing it. Whether it is to be shieled from being hurt emotionally or physically. I am truely blessed.

For those of you that know me well, I am a planner, I would plan until the end of the earth if there was a calendar that they made for it. I love trying to get myself organized and plan special things for family and friends. I often have to stop myself and remind myself that it is not everyone's will to have their lives planned for them. This posting I seem to be rambling a little, or maybe a lot, but for some reason I have a lot on my mind today, besides work.

I just found out a very close friend of mine (whose name I will not mention right now, becuase I don't know if she is ready for that) has breast cancer. I have not spoken to her directly, but was told by my Mom. My heart goes out to her right now. I want her to know that I feel truely blessed to have her in my life. She is an amazing woman and I know that she can fight this. I know that it will be a difficult road ahead, but I also know that God has given her many blessings. She is loved very much by both family and friends, and we will support her through every step of the process. I pray for God's grace to keep her safe during the process.

Please keep her in your prayers.

Until next post,
