There are so many of these cute "lil box things" that are in the blogging community. They are tasks to either write something or do- picture wise. They get bloggers to blog on and create a post to add to others and share their thoughts and opinions. Like creating a group of sorts. I keep looking and can't seem to find one i like. If you are a part of one that you really like please let me know...i am still looking. So today instead i am doing my own...Thankful Thursday. Maybe it will be weekly and maybe it won't. :) I thought if i were to decide to do it i should limit it to three categories. Person, thing, and attribute of God. Sometimes it might have pictures and other times, like today it won't. :) Person : I am thankful for my Mentor and friend Niki ! I realized the other day that she and i have been meeting for like 6 years. She has been there for me thru all sorts of situations...giving advice and ALWAYS pointing me back to Jesus and His everlasting l...

Through out the old testament we see God telling his people to build an alter to remember something momentous, something special. Usually they are attached with a word describing God or what he did at that spot. I have two reminders with me all the time shown above in the picture. My tattoo and wedding bands. Both are reminders of love for me. Love of God- tattoo- being permanent and constantly with me whether i notice it or not, and the foundation for my marriage...which is my wedding bands. The love that Kimmel has for me -though we may be flawed- is perfect for me. These two reminders tell me who i am and who loves me. During sad times i see them and smile. During happy times they shine like the sun! (yes the tattoo shines :) ) I am very blessed. God has been faithful through some AWESOME times and some really crummy times! We are thankful! I wanted to remind you ;)

Through out my life and yours i am sure, you have been asked "what super hero trait would you have if you could have any?" Some may think, oh definitely fly, or walk thru walls or maybe be invisible. But over the year for me as i live thru life and experience more things and cultures, my super hero talent would be to speak and understand any language in existence and if a new one is created i figure it out! The first time i did mission over seas was to Japan. One morning at 4am i woke up (we were staying in the church in the city) to use the toilet and there were like 8-10 people in the sanctuary praying in their own dialect. African, Vietnamese, Japanese and English. That trip to the toilet was a life changing one for me...cause at that moment i realized GOD understood each person! He knew their heart, thoughts AND words! Now when i go to Mexico i know a little Spanish, but not enough to really talk to anyone and it frustrates me...not enough to do anything about it apparent...
