I AM.... This is my declaration!

      After watching Oprah Winfrey's Life Class with Joel Osteen on Sunday, I have decided to accept the I AM challenge. The I AM challenge is when you declare the things you want in your life.If you BELIEVE IT, YOU WILL RECEIVE IT! So every Tuesday, I will share my I AM....

TODAY I AM THANKFUL!!!

Thankful....

       As I think about how my life has twisted and turned this year, I can honestly say, what didn't kill me, only made me stronger! There were times, that I thought I just wasn't going to make it. I cried, prayed, cried again and prayed a whole lot. Through it all, I perserved and kept it moving. God and I talked a whole lot this year and not only do I have a stronger faith in HIM, I now know that, I can do all things through CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS ME!!! As this year winds down, I am truly THANKFUL......

ABUNDANTLY thankful for:

my parents who no matter what I do, always have my back

my kids who brighten my day when the sun just doesn't seem to shine as bright on me

my brothers(well...... seriously, they taught me how to share)

my job(without it, I wouldn't be able to provide for my kids)

good health, sound mind

and

friends who get me and never seem to judge when I f%$& up!

As the year comes to an end, I am thankful that I have lived through it and look forward to what is to come!
