My First Post

So I'm new at this.  I will try to be dedicated to it.  I think it's genius.  It's kind of like a diary for the public to read and judge! ha.  Realistically, who is going to read this beside my mom and sister!?!  But I have been so blessed by people giving their advice through random blogs, so MAYBE I might be able to bless others.  With a house as exciting as mine, I'm sure SOMEBODY can relate! :-) 
Tonight we had our church over for thanksgiving fellowship.  I just really love my church family.  This holiday is extra appropriate for my feelings for them.  Oh. So. Thankful.  :-)
Tomorrow my family is coming over to enjoy our first thanksgiving at our new house.  I love food so much.  I have a feeling A LOT of my blogs are going to be centered around food.  Yikes.  But more than food, I am so thankful for my amazing family.  My selfless mother who always thinks of others before herself.  My sweet Grandma who is so precious.  My amazing, strong, beautiful sister who I can't imagine living without.  My gentle brother-in-law who has such a unique relationship with his nieces and nephews. My hunky hunky husband who is perfect for me.  God knew my needs, and made a partner just right for me.  He won't read this blog, but I will brag on him constantly.  My kind-spirited, gentle daughter Abigial.  My handsome and kind boy Jude.  My independant and argumentative, fun-loving son Micah.  And my precious, happy, sweet daughter Annalie.  WOW! After writing all that, I hardly did any of them justice, but it reminds me of HOW INCREDIBLY BLESSED I AM! 
More than anything, I am thankful for my right standing with a holy and perfect God, through His son Jesus.  I am thankful that my sins are counted as clean.  I am considered holy, though I am made from dust.  That He has given us access to His throne daily- through His word, prayer, and relationships.  He is my ABBA.  My all.  My life is a living sacrifice to Him, whom ALL GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE is deserved.  Forever and ever.  :-)
happy thanksgiving.
