Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day...
the first one in a LONG time that I haven't had a sweetheart to celebrate it with... I don't want to let that get me down, though! :) I am truly enjoying my life and all of the wonderful friendships I have!!! God has blessed me SOOOO much!

I am disappointed in myself that I didn't write out a whole bunch of wonderful Valentine's Day notes to all of my friends... the truth is, that would take me forever, because there are so many people that I love and care about! If I have any complaint recently... it's just that... I feel helpless to share all the love and joy that I want to! I want everyone I know and love... even my newest friends... to know how much I care about them, and appreciate them in my life! I also feel like I'll never be able to take as much time as I want to thank God for all that I have been blessed with! I have always loved to journal about my days and how I saw God at work... Now I am behind almost a week, and I am scared to start again, because I'll want to catch up on the past week and thank God for all that has happened, all that I have learned, and all that I am so incredibly thankful for... but that just takes me SUCH a long time... and I can't do it all if I want to get a healthy amount of sleep. :( I am always so tempted to keep thinking about yesterday, and all that I wish I could remember, reflect on, or wish I could have accomplished... instead, I just need to keep reaching out in each moment... and seize every opportunity I have right in front of me. :)

God, you're so good! :) Thank you for opening my eyes to see you, my ears to hear you, and for giving me the strength and courage to follow you. Please continue HELPing me with this! :)
