There's Something to be Said For...

There's something to be said for friends and family.  I'm sitting in Philly right now watching Leverage on TNT and updating my blog while sitting in my grandmother's living room.  I've been in Philly since Tuesday at around 12:30am, and had the opportunity to hang out and staying with my best friend from high school.  We had sooooo much fun!  We laughed and laughed about our high school days.  Her kids are adorable and her dog is just the cutest thing!  She calls me the "dog whisperer" because I was able to keep him from whimpering and whining.  He listened to my verbal commands and thoroughly enjoyed being scratched.  Tonight I learned that he was in heat and was in love with my hand.  I thought it was hilarious that he started air humping as he stood on his hind legs with his front paws on my arm, which was resting on the arm of the couch...lol.  I'm so glad that I had the chance to really sit and fellowship with her.  I also got the chance to hang out with my family as well.  Man, I love my people...:-)

There's also something to be said for determination.  As I'm typing these words, I'm reflecting on my journey to AZ from NC and back again.  I'm thinking about going to school and graduating from college.  I'm thinking about how every time I say something, it comes to fruition.  There have been seemingly countless times when I wasn't sure how I was going to get things done, but because I was so determined to reach my goal that I couldn't see anything but my goal.  I sit here in awe of the goodness of God.  I can finally say that everything I do and accomplish is solely the work of the God in me.  Without Him, I wouldn't even be able to get out of bed in the morning.

There's something to be said for being a social butterfly.  I love meeting new people and have no problems with talking to anybody that will listen.  I think about how I've come to be the person I am now and all I can do is smile.  I don't remember ever being shy or embarassed to talk to strangers.  I'm a communicator and do my best to keep in touch with EVERYBODY.  Thank you Jesus for creating me like this.  I'm so thankful for your blessings and hand of favor.  Help me to be a blessing to all I encounter day to day.  He who has begun a good work in me shall continue it until the day of Christ...

I've go so much work to do, but I do my best to achieve my goals every day.
