Well here goes the whole blogging thing! Honestly I started a blog just so I could better follow other people's blogs...but now I think I might just try this whole blog thing out and see what happens...
It's Thursday night and I'm loving life! Why?? Several reasons but...reason number 1 is that my Spring Break just started! The last few weeks have been a challenge at school, and this kindergarten teacher was more than ready for a little break! It's amazing how refreshed I feel even after a short break. I'm looking forward to sleeping past 5:15, spending time with Jesus when I'm home alone, seeing friends that I haven't seen in far too long, and spending a little more of my boyfriend this weekend! I know that break will go way too fast, but I'm going to enjoy every moment!
Lately I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed with God's goodness and blessing in my life. At the same time I am feeling overwhelmed by my sinful nature. Why is God so gracious to me when I am so undeserving? I realize daily how selfish and thoughtless I am. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who really challenge me to live outside myself and care for others. I feel torn in my heart between being overwhelmed with grace and mercy and seeing how sinful I am. I am so thankful that I can approach the thrown of God with confidence knowing that his mercy and love will surround me daily. What a wonderful God we serve!
