Thankfulness

I don't know what it is about one o-clock in the morning but I seem to be productive on the computer about that time.

At the beginning of the semester I decided to try and come up with one thing each day to be thankful for. My plan was, and still is, to write it down on a sticky note and place it on my wall. I designed the blue notes to ( hopefully) spell 2012 when I finish the project. : ) So far God had shown me 74 things to be thankful for and by June first ( my graduation date) I hope to have over 200.  With prayer and a determination to experience the many, many things God has given us to be thankful for I hope to continue this project with purpose and a glory for God. 
Gratitude is not thankfulness until expressed. - quote
Be Thankful!

The first step...

Okay, I did it.  I finally started a blog.  I'm not 100% sure what I will post about but I know Christ and life will fill these pages.   : ) Oh, this excites me... ( I get excited over the little, even silly things ). Well, I should probably go to bed considering it is almost 1 o'clock in the morning.
