“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.”William Powell (via thesearepeopleyouknow)

Blessing #2
I am thankful for FAMILY, I may not have the greatest family in america but to me they are amazing. I have missed them so much since leaving home for college and then deciding to stay here after I was finished. It is a crazy thought to think I haven't seen them in 2 years. I have a mom who loves me unconditionally, a brother who is just as crazy as me, a sister in law who is a best friend, nieces an a nephew who I would give the world too... I am thankful for my adoption and that God knew what i would need and placed me in this family. How well did God know each thing I would need to flourish :) Thank you LORD for my family..

Blessing #1:
        I am thankful for Grace. It is God's Grace that has given us the Gospel (Gal 1:6-9 "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you,let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
It is God's Grace that saved me. (Ephesians 2 "8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, " What a tremendous blessing to have faith and a Gospel to Save.  It is God's AMAZING love and GRACE alone. 
When I think of the grace of God, I think of steadfast love, compassion, mercy—a kind of unconditional acceptance that is unlike human love. How hard is it for us humanly to accept love because our conditions to love; it must be fair, equal and just. But no love will ever be like that of our Abba, Father!! Whose love can compare! 
It is incredibly that we do not earn or buy Gods grace but he has favor on us - and freely gives his grace to His Children.

This is a great link for Scripture Memorization. I found it and will be going through it over the next year. It is an awesome way to study God’s promises and His desires for our lives!
