oh, it is love

It's thanksgiving week, my second favorite holiday of the year, and I only care for two. I always try to find what I'm thankful for every year, and it's always the same: God, family, friends, a home to stay. So of course, I've been thinking about things I am grateful for. Every year since I was two I've thought of God in this list, and even when I've gone through one long four year doubt of my being saved these past four years, I was still thankful for God. I became a Christian this June, and now have an unexplainable hope. This week, these past few months, I've realized I'm not just thankful for God's mere existance, but what he's done for me. He's saved me from the fear I was living with for four years, and has given me "a peace that surpasses all understanding". Honestly, there is nothing more I could ask for better than that. My prayer for that time came true, God opened my eyes.

Jesus, thank you for saving me.


Well it is friday. School starts monday, with a paper for my english class due. I've actually enjoyed writing it; it is an essay having to do with D. J. Waldie's Holy Land. Before that day it might be smart to read a few hundred pages of Drop City, also for class, and just for class. I'll also be starting up my school work as well, but I do not mind it at all.
That's all for now. Oh, and I tried broccoli for the first time today.
