Thankful Thoughts....

With the big day---also known as Turkey Day and respectively, Thanksgiving---only about a week away, it's at this time where I really think about all the people, things, and places in my life that I'm truly thankful for...there are so many things, but here are some: Jesus, my Savior--my family (and extended, of course!)--my Christian education--my church--my pastors--my friends (WOL and non-WOL haha :])--Christian music to listen to instead of all the junk on the radio these days--Word of the Life Family Campground and Bible Institute--to be able to live in a land of freedom--and of course, my fat black cat!
When i think about all of these things that I'm thankful for, I also wonder why most people are only thankful at this time of year...In Psalm 92: 1-2 it says, "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night." One of my goals (i guess its an early New Year's resolution) is to be more thankful for what I have and to also recognize it and give all the thanks and glory to God....because without Him...I'd only be thankful during Thanksgiving...or worse, I'd forget about Thanksgiving and skip right into the Christmas season where most people forget about the "Christ" in "Christ"mas.....but thats another entry for another time....in the meantime,...........................HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!....don't forget to eat some pumpkin pie! :)

Laugh and the world laughs with you...

okay, so i find myself laughing as I'm writing this entry. why? well, i probably wouldnt have written anything today, but my Grandpa asked me at church today why i hadn't written anything in a while! i thought that was funny because I had no idea that Grandpa read my blog!

well, its November!...thank you Captain Obvious!...haha. this month has seemed to go by pretty fast. i guess time really does fly when your having fun....me and Mom went to the Michael W./Steven Curtis United Tour! it was great! those two guys singing together is amazing! Working at the library is good. the other day there was this guy who locked his keys in his car! me and the other ladies felt so bad. it was a cold night, so we let him stay in the library and wait for his wife, who was bringing another key, even though we left for the night. i hope he wasnt there for long because I guess he lives across the bridge in Stillwater. Of course, then i also babysit the Vielleux twins whenever Renee needs me, and thats ALWAYS a blast! they're always fun to babysit! :)...I've been doing a lot of driving this month, and dad says I'm doing great!....and then there's some great news! I've decided to go back to WOL for 2nd year next fall and then after that I'm hoping to get into the culinary program there! :)

so thats what the "life of a Liz" is like in November! now you're all caught up!
