Reflections of the heart

New Look ♥

Although this is not by any means a perfect representation of what I would have liked to have done with my blog, it will certainly SUFFICE after hours of labor. 

That is really all I have to say. I'm actually extremely happy to even have made a header! I guess everything else isn't even worth touching after that one accomplishment. I have so many blogs that I follow and so many of you ladies are truly inspirations in what your doing with and through your blogs. I also have many blogs that I would not be as drawn to if they didn't present themselves through their blogs aesthetics in such an eye catching way. This look doesn't really compare to the looks of my favorite blogs but it is progress I suppose. ha ha. Oh goodness. I suppose I should get to bed.

BUT FIRST.

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
  • I am grateful to be alive today
  • I am grateful to have a home in sunny California
  • I am grateful that all of the members on my body are functional
  • I am grateful that I can work freely without any hindrance
  • I am grateful that Christ has given me hope in this dark world
  • I am grateful that although I cannot see the work that God is doing in my life, I can trust that he is doing much unseen work in my life that has yet to MANIFEST :).
  • I am grateful that I am single and can be courted by His utmost High and focus only on Him and loving Him more
  • I am grateful that God has chosen a man of God for me to someday marry and that He knows it is good :).
  • I am grateful to be free of the bondage of sin, and FREE IN CHRIST

I may not always express my gratitude but as a believer I am full of it. Sometimes the trials and circumstances of this life can cloud out what really matters in my life. GOD. I apologize for not always putting Him first and not allowing His witness to be made through me. There is so much for me to be grateful for that I really find it kind of silly that I am so easily swayed by life. I was thinking today, someday I will have a daughter and she will maybe read this blog and my journals... I wondered... Would she be proud, inspired, encouraged by what she reads? I pray that she is nothing less than those things Lord willing.

Whew. Don't know where the future kid talk came from. Oh boy, and I'm pretty sure I mentioned a future husband in my gratitude list huh??? I really am blessed to be single guys! Despite the aforementioned, non-existent family God has really given me an appreciation of single hood and just spending time with Him. 

Now I'm just rambling. So I will go to bed. Pray for me and shoot me a prayer request if you have one!
