Count Your Blessings~

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all, it has been a bit since I have written but, I thought this day being the last day we will ever see in 2013 I should.

I have to say this year went really fast it seems like only yesterday we started and today we are saying goodbye. I have struggled quite a bit this year my faith has been shaken but, I stood strong with the help from some of my friends and most importantly God. I have faced challenges I am unsure of, I have experienced yet again the lack of space in my home. I am currently with out a car and my son has newly been diagnosed with Aspergers and I am dealing with an emotional 12 year girl who is trying to figure life out (I was there once I really hope I was not this extreme with my mom) with all of that, I look back and see where God carried me and I am eternally thankful. I am a firm believer in claiming things in my life , in my faith in so much and for 2014 I am claiming for my family Joy, peace, happiness, and more. I am claiming the seed of a thankful heart and a joyful countenance to grow and blossom in the hearts of my family and myself. I am claiming good things to happen for us, I am claiming direction and guidance for my life for my children and my Husband. I am claiming more of God and less of me, I am claiming Gods provision and blessings in the coming year. I am claiming wisdom, strength, courage, grace, and humbleness. I am going to count my blessings instead of dwell on the one thing after another that seems to happen. I am going to disown Murphy and ignore his law. I am claiming joy, blessings, hope, love, peace, kindness for all of you as well. When school starts back and I am volunteering, I am going to make a blessings jar, so that during the year I can write down with the date everything good that has happened and exactly one year from today, I am going to read them. I offer a challenge to you today do not resolve to do anything claim it, pray about it and let God lead you where He wants you to go. start a blessing jar and watch it fill up. God be with you as you start the New Year, what ever challenges come up, let God help you to face them He will.....Count your blessings my friends Happy New Year.

That's my thought for the day,

Crazy for Christmas,
