Blessed!

First off, it has been the busiest summer ever!  You can always find me doing some type of project for school. It's not always fun for a second grader to learn about parts of speech but I do my best to make it as interesting as possible. (The life of a teacher..i suppose) More on my "fishing for sentences" activity later.

I always catch up on my blog reading on Friday. One of my regulars was hosting a link up to show your homes etc. So as I was viewing some fun pictures of different homes and getting cute ideas, I came across a blog about a family who had lost everything in a fire. I continued to read some of her later posts and she was such an inspiration. "My God can move this mountain, and he can move your mountain too." I really found this quote to be very inspirational. Lets be honest..I love my coach bags, jon hart tote, leopard clothes, brighton jewlery, ipad etc. I can not imagine LOSING EVERYTHING?!  This lady has totally relied on God for everything. She does miss her stuff..who wouldn't? But she knows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and the good Lord will provide!

As I grow each day and move more toward being an "independent adult", I realize how totally blessed I am! I am so blessed with an amazing family, wonderful friends, a roof over my head, a car to drive, clothing, good health, food, the list could go on forever...
I know that I shouldn't be so materialistic.This is only our temporary home and the "stuff" that we have will not matter.

Keep your life free from the love of money,

and be content with what you have, for he has said,

"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

-Hebrews 13:5
