Coffee is starting to kick in! Bless The Lord for that. So, how is it possible to have a journal and write in a blog, both? Am I crazy, I can hardly keep up with one, let alone two! Oh, well, I'll sure try.

You know, In my devo today I was reading in Luke, specifically 12-14. Jesus sure holds us accountable for a lot, as He should.  "22Then He said to His disciples: “Therefore I tell you, don’t worry about your life, what you will eat; or about the body, what you will wear. 23For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. 29Don’t keep striving for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious. 30For the Gentile world eagerly seeks all these things, and your Father knows that you need them."
For some reason, this part of those verses really stuck out to me. The truth is painfully simple, but the power is mighty. Al

l the Lord wants from us is for us to trust Him, love Him and give all we can to Him. Why do we try to make it more than it is. HE already knows what we need and when we need them! It also amazes me at how much Jesus LOVES EVERYONE. Every single person. I prayed this morning that The Lord would open my eyes to things that I am normally blind to.  I will admit, I am a little apprehensive to what I will see. Will report back on that later.

Thanksgiving week is upon us. I don't really have a lot to say about that. Usually every year I try to do the 30 days of Thanks, but for some reason I chose not to this year and I've actually been fine with that. I am beyond thankful for everything the Lord has done in my life, wonderful family, home, kids, husband, church...so on and such, but honestly I think I am most thankful for this year, That Jesus never lets me go, that He is there for me every stinking day. That His Grace is big enough to cover all of our sins. That I have a best friend I can talk to at any part of my day or night, He cares, He is love, He IS what we should strive to be. I could keep going but I'll rest here. I don't want this to just be the "right answer" this is my heart.

TODAY, after I do a little Christmas shopping- yay! and essential shopping (gloves for the Chuck), I will try to clean out/organize the other nightstand and clean out under the bed<insert blood-curdling scream here> HA, but for real, It's not too terrible, just needs to be done.

By the way, I absolutely LOVE mornings to myself. Can't say it enough, love love loooooove, them.
That is all. Thank you, kids for sleeping in today.

Happy Week of Thanks
