Well, I guess its a couple days late for that...Well, I just have to say that God has blessed me so much! Since I wasn't able to go home for Thanksgiving this year, my roommate and her family opened up their home for me to join them this week. I miss my family so much and wish I could just sit on my couch at home and talk to everyone, but I'm thankful to have such a sweet family to stay with. And when I think about it, not being able to go home now will just make my visit home for Christmas that much sweeter. I can't wait to go home and bake cookies and other goodies with mom! It's going to be such a blessing to get to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, with everyone soon! ...oh ya, and I got to talk to the whole family on thanksgiving night over speaker phone...oh man, we have an awesome family! :)
...mini golfing! But until then...I'm going to be a definite "busy-body"! I have about a week and a half left of classes and then I will be preparing for finals! Aaaaahhhhhhh!...I can't believe its almost finals already. I mean....I feel like I just got here. How does the time pass so quickly?? Its kind of a bittersweet feeling, I guess. Anyway, I only have two major finals, which is nice, but I'll definitley be studying hard. This week is a nice calm before the storm ;) Oh yeah, and I forgot to tell you that we and some people on another floor of my dorm, have had "Nerf-Gun Wars" going on for the past week. It has been awesome! There have been some pranks played and some "shoot outs" going on unexpectedly, but its always a nice break from the studying.
...playing the Wii at my roommate's house!
Its really easy, with all the business that college (and life in general) bring along. I've found that for me its been a really humbling thing to just sit still and think of all the things that God has blessed me with. During this time of Thanksgiving, its really amazing to think of all the blessings that we truly have. I'd encourage you to sit down and make a list, pray, or try to think about the many things you are thankful for, or what blessings you have. I'll make a brief list here:
I am thankful for:
trees, a loving home, food to fill my stomach, a God who provides ALL, prayers, hymns, voices, hugs, blankets, hope, laughter, [sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, grandparents] FAMILY, warmth, color-changing leaves, snow, sunshine, listeners, puppies, love, faithfulness, God's promises, awesome friends, flowers, Christ Jesus, smiles.
And I would have nothing without Christ and His sacrifice for us on the cross. I am thankful for his willingness and love, that He would lay down His life for us. Because He LOVES us, and because He has hope for us. Thank you Jesus!! Just take the time to think about what you are thankful for...and if you want, post what you are thankful for as a comment on my blog!
Many blessings, Kasey
I miss you guys and love you very much!
