Blessings on a Monday Morning??



       
         Have you ever had one of those days when everything just seems so beautiful and perfect even when you know that truly things are crashing all around you? Its that moment when you have no care in the world and can just sit and take in the beautiful sunshine. As I sit in my dorm room this morning I feel like nothing can bring me down, no troubles in the world can tear me apart. The sun is streaming in through the window the perfect song just came on Pandora and I am done all of my homework through tomorrow night. I got to practice flute for an extended amount of time this weekend which in the last few weeks has been difficult to fit into my ridiculous schedule. There is so much to be thankful for. So many Blessings surround me. The perfect song that came onto Pandora  well that is what changed my mood for the whole day. It was a song called Blessings by Laura Story. She is a christian vocal artist and I love all of her songs but this one always speaks to me when it is played.  One of the lines from the song is "what if your blessings come through rain drops" I love this line. Blessings do come from rain drops, sunshine and so many other things that are simple and seem impossible to truly be a blessing. My favorite line of the entire song though has to be "What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise". I can tell you first hand that trials in life are mercies sent from God in disguise. All of the trials in my life have bought me to this moment sitting her in my room admiring the sunshine and the beautiful world around me. It is part of the plan that he has for me. If it wasn't for some of the painful things I had to deal with in my life I would not be where I am, at the college I love, with the most amazing people ever, doing what I love. All those moments led to the blessing of this moment, of today and all the days to come. Even though its Monday and sometimes that makes it difficult to find blessings in your day. I challenge you to find one blessing in your life today, something that brings you joy. It can be big or small. Blessings are truly found through raindrops and trials in your life. Enjoy your Monday!!

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
