I'm an idiot. I haven't been thinking right lately. I haven't been remembering my title. I don't have to be happy per se, I just have to remember all the blessings God has bestowed on me. I've been complaining so much without remembering how blessed I truly am. This just hit me over the last few days.
Yes, I have stuff to be sad for. I want a baby and am watching everyone have babies. Thankfully one of those is my best friend who is kind enough to email sweet pics of the babe. I can somewhat live vicariously through her and watch all the God does for her and her family and MAN when I get to see that baby (who's barely a baby anymore) all sadness just melts away.
But when I put all that aside and think about my life, MAN I AM BLESSED.
-A beautiful apartment so close to school
-I'm actually in grad school. So many people aren't getting in anywhere and I'm more than half way done.
-I have amazing inlaws who help financially so I can just focus on my schooling which is amazing right now with so much going on. I don't know how those that work do it.
-I have a husband who takes care of me. I don't have to do much around the house right now because he's always willing to help out
-I have a husband who works from home (which can be a burden sometimes when he jsut wants to be with me and i have to work on school)
-I have my best friend who is always there for me. and who knows me so well and I know I can count on her. With our 26+ years of knowing each other we've been through a ton and we've definitely come out on top wiht the most fantastic friendship a girl could ask for.
-I have my parents so close and parents who love me
-I have a sister who although lives forever away, I have a real relationship with her which is not something I ever imagined would happen
-I get to meet my favorite celebrities and even more of a blessing, most of the people I REALLY love are the little guys who are all so down to earth and like meeting me. Eddie McClintock, Devon Sawa, Ethan Embry, John Francis Daley just to name a few
-Living in LA, I get so many concerts down here. Got to see Civil Twilight who are amazing and only had to pay $10 to get in.
-I have other family and friends that are always there for me to
-Get to play with 2 adorable kids twice a week for clinic
-got totally spoiled on my bday
-Get to go to Disneyland whenever I have free time
-Get to travel
I'm sure the list could go on and on. And I love that I haven't complained once in this. I am printing it as a reminder when i get down. It'll be in with the scrapbook I got from Sheryl for my bday. It'll be within arms reach to get me through the tough times. Thank you dear Lord Jesus for everything you've given me and forgive me for not trusting in you or turning to you Lord.
