Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things I Am Thankful For!


I know you usually do these types of lists around Thanksgiving or Christmas, but I think you should take time to think about all you're thankful for all year!

I'm thankful for:

1. For God's love. Even though I don't deserve anything, He's always there for me.

2. For my parents. They were the ones who taught me about God's love. They're awesome.

3. For my boyfriend Josh. I truely believe he was sent to me by God!

4. For my church family. I have a pastor that loves the Lord and teaches His word and a church family who is always there to encourage, pray with me, or just have fun with.

5. For my health. I have no major problems to my knowledge, and have had no previous incedents. These days, that's rare.

6. For my dog, Tosha. Okay, I know she's just a dog, but she's my baby!

7. For the opportunity to go to UNCG. There are alot of people who would love to go to college but just can't afford it. I'm fortunate.

8. For my house. I dream about alot of houses that are bigger, fancier, etc., but mine is perfectly fine and keeps me safe and warm.

9. For my car. This is a luxury item, but it would be hard for me to imagine life without it.

10. For my job. I keep my cousins children. I get to have the hours I want to work and get to spend alot of time with them, they're adorable!

11. For my freedom. I get to live in a country where I can worship God freely, without fear.

12. For my laptop. Another luxury item, I know, but it gives me a chance to keep in touch with high school friends.

13. For being an only child. Some people don't like it, but I'm glad I'm an only child. I may not be as close to my parents as I am if I had siblings.

When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be...

You always hear little kids say this when they're in elementary school, and no matter what they say, they know it's going to happen. They're going to be an airplane pilot or country singer or space ranger. If only we could be that sure when it comes time to choose a career for real.

I have been struggling in deciding on a major in college. I don't want to go into something and waste my time and money if I'm just going to change my mind. I've already gone through architecture and psychology. Neither of the two are for me I've discovered. You know, it's very easy to figure out what you don't want to do. I wish there was some way that was just as easy to decide what you DO want to do.

However, I may be narrowing the field, finally. This is actually something that has always been in the back of my mind: accounting. I've always liked math. I'm good at it and I understand it easily, or at least more so than any other subject. I have recently talked to a few resources and the more I look into it, the better I feel about the idea. There's a demand for accountants, so I know I could get a job, and they make pretty good money. I also found out that in order to get your accounting degree you must take a lot of business management and administration classes. So with an accounting degree I could actually go into several directions.

I have at least two more semesters of general classes but after that a decision MUST be made. I'd like to ask all of you to pray for me as I go through these next semesters that I will know for sure what God's will is for my life.
