Always Be Thankful


I am usualy very tired at this time but,right now I just decided to blog!
I've have gotten two comments..how exiting! Really I didn't think I would get any.
By the way, while I'm writing this it is 11:18 p.m. I have really been missing a certain place I used to live. It consumes alot of my thoughts. I will always miss it there. Not a day goes by where I don't think about it. But all this has sidetracked me from God's wonderful grace,all of my blessings. I am so blessed to have been born in America. And I am this amazingly sad I don't live in a certain state? I will still miss it there,but really. I am so thankful for being born into a family that believes in our dear Savior.
I still miss this place so I have to also remember, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
But still,even though I feel sad. I have so much to be thankful for already. If someone is reading this and not feeling as "lucky" as I am,please understand everything God does is for a good reason,also
You can pray to our Lord,and if your looking for an answer to a prayer that you want Him to answer and it seems He is not answering,like my father just said the other night"His answer might just be "no",because it is not what He has in plan for you. Don't lose faith,still believe our dear Lord is out there. I am so thankful for knowing Jesus Christ. I can't wait to stand with my fellow sisters,and brothers of Christ in front of our Lord in Heaven. Thank You Lord.


"There Is A Reason"
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There isn't any wonder that I fall
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years
There must be a reason for it all

I've trusted in You, Jesus, to save me from my sin
Heaven is the place I call my home
But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in
And Your voice it sometimes fades before I know

Hurtin' brings my heart to You, crying with my need
Depending on Your love to carry me
The love that shed His blood for all the world to see
This must be the reason for it all

Hurtin' brings my heart to You, a fortress in the storm
When what I wrap my heart around is gone
I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world
When the one who loves me most will give me all

In all the things that cause me pain You give me eyes to see
I do believe but help mine unbelief
I've seen hard times and I've been told
There is a reason for it all
A song by Alison Krauss and Union Station.

  1. Aw, I kinda know what you're feeling. When I was 14-16 my family moved to South Dakota, and I wasn't always the happiest camper. My attitude occasionally stank but I did learn (eventually) to learn to be 'content ... in whatever state I am' just like Paul in the Bible.

    Hang in there.

  2. Amen, sweet sister. God has a lot to teach you yet, and as long as you keep this mindset, you will keep moving forward in your walk with Him. He has so much to show you as long as you stay focused. Be obsessed with eternity. Be obsessed with Jesus. Love Him with all your heart, because you know what? He loves you with all of His. And His heart is much bigger than any other person's heart. His love will never let you down. It's just like it says in Psalm 63:3. "Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you."
    Keep running to Him!

    Until ALL have Heard,
    Karyn
