Thankful
As I was driving back up to Dallas yesterday I had some time to think and reflect on my past few years. They say that the college years are the best of your life and I surely hope not. I can honestly look anyone in the eyes and tell them that my life for the past four years have been rampaged with pain, anger, sorrow, betrayal, loss, and death. I honestly do not understand why my time in college was so difficult but I can say without missing a beat that I am truly grateful for the lessons and experience gained from those lessons. As I have now left the DFW area to live down at the coast I recognize that I have just had the best year of my life so far. I am so blessed. My best friends are moving on with life and one of them actually has a little girl who is daddy's little girl. I have a great family and my job situation could not have turned out better. Yes there will be trials and tribulations to come but that is to be expected as a Christian Believer. It is Jesus who says "In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world." Of the things that I am thankful for I am most definitely most thankful for the cross. Knowing that Christ Jesus willingly chose to sacrifice Himself on the cross so that I may live in eternal fellowship with Him gives me strength beyond understanding and courage to match. I am thankful for You Jesus my Savior!
