Don't believe the hype. God LOVEs when you brag!

1 Thessalonians 5:18

New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁸ Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus

I spent most of my life Claiming i wasn't really "blessed". I never Got what i asked for(which was always something within reason, rarely tangible.) and so i assumed God just wasn't in the business of blessing me. He didn't favor me. The nice things that Did happen for me felt like a pacifier to shut me up, and being an all or nothing type of girl i don't take too kindly to being shut up.

Thanks be to God that this couldn't be further from the truth. He showers me with blessings and advances of Love everyday. all day. my heart just has to want to see it. i had to stop acting rotten for just a second and open my eye to God's shameless wooing.

I've decided to make a list of 30 things i am grateful for(in no particular order). To show off my god. HE has blessed me beyond measure and i just wanna brag a little. is that ok? Will you join me?
