these are a few of my favorite things

After a really tough summer, I realized that I rarely sit and take in "life." With the world telling me that I need to search for things to make me happy, I need to understand that I've already got all I need in Christ and should take time to cherish those. From the mundane to true, unexpected, and often undeserved blessings:

A few of my favorite things
. the Forehands- my adoptive family
. Shades Mountain Baptist Church
. Student Ministry at SMBC
. high school friends- Liz, Georgia, Cassie
. time alone
. ability to be active and healthy
. confidence to live alone
. chocolate
. art
. creative thinking
. the power to make my own decision
. the Heroes of Faith
. Real Simple magazine
. books
. road-trips
. missions

And the list could go on. God has and continues to bless me. I pray I can see these blessing and appreciate them more often!
