Blessing is thankful...

Hi lovely people! Life has been good over here, no snow and the temperatures starting from 8degrees Celsius! Wonderful winter it has been. Sadly, I can't say the same for some of my classes. I feel like I'm being forced to regurgitate information, for example in my Law course, and I have to study these thick, heavy textbooks. Someone rescue me ha ha, with exams coming up, and dreams for Law School in mind, I bite my lip and drag myself, as is always the need, to lectures and to tutorials. 90% of success is showing up right, well in some situations, once you get there, might as well do what needs to be done.

So Thursday was thanksgiving, why not dedicate this blog to what I'm thankful for! There are so many things that we take for granted every single day, like the sun, and life even. So today, I wanna say what I'm thankful for...

I am so thankful for the life that I have...I don't deserve to live while someone else my age is gone...all the good things I have, like good health, and love...I did nothing to have, but just by God's grace I'm alive, and happy... :) sooo life, and more life!

We are so blessed to have a big family! Can you imagine I have 10 nieces and nephews! Wow wow, I'm so grateful to have those lovely children, like these two adorable ones here...the other one looks like me isn't? I'm the aunty, soo proud and so thankful, I just pray blessings upon each and every one of them!

Now wouldn't life be soo boring without friends? Yes definitely...I'm soo grateful for years, for all the people in my life I can call my friends. I know it's not always easy being someone's friend, yes I know sometimes it's a challenge being my friend too...but I'm grateful to God, and to them, that I've never woken up and found myself completely alone, there's always someone I can call, or text, or have a meal with, or walk with, or pray with...I love inspiring people and being there for people, I love being a blessing and being the unshakable pillar of strength...but that doesn't mean I don't also need encouragement, infact I think I need it more so that I can give to others what I receive...so friends, masanta- love these girls...besty, sisters, mothers, brothers, classmates, my sahwiras...I love you all, and thank you, for being my friends!

I have the most awesome adviser on Pomona's campus, yes...Professor Kuehlwein is just a gift from God...he believes in me, and he's there as a great resource, encouragement, and his family is kinda like my own family in Claremont...soo thankful for him!

And to the most awesome family...these guys are just the best...I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for them in my life...what for 5 brothers, who sometimes pretend to be evil, e.g throwing cushions at you if you smirk during a movie, or teasing you over your singing oh my...but really are such big, warm hearted men, I see them and, don't tell them I said this, they are the most loyal, humble, hardworking...loving men in our side of the world...and did you know I have a sister, yes, love her to bits...she's a woman of strength and courage, just like I'm growing to be. Thankful for my family!!!

And I'm thankful for....

My mama...a woman of character and strength. She believes in me, always has...and she taught me the greatest lesson of my life, she introduced me to Jesus...I am what I am because of this woman. God bless you mama!

Saving the best for last, unfortunately I can't put up a picture of Him, I have none :( But just look at me, and you...and you'll see the imprints of His love. My oh my, where would I be in my life without this man!!! I would be dead, figuratively and literally! Sometimes, there just isn't a good enough reason to wake up...or live, but when I think of Him, I can do all things! Who can use a person like me? Who can change a lifestory like he continually does mine...and most importantly, who will never ever fail you, never ever leave your side...? My Jesus, and I'm most thankful for the knowledge of Him, and our relationship...I pray it grows even stronger every day...

Next year I'll be saying thankful for my boyfriend!! lol, just kidding...Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Holidays! :)
