5,4,3, 2,.....

Its 7:17pm Saturday August 8th and I have some ribs in the oven cooking. Can't wait to sink my teeth into them. I am sitting on my couch watching cribs and chatting while my brother is lazing around in his room. Why can't he get his ass up to go buy me my damn cake already!

I haven't been myself for the past few months. Depression has become my best friend and for a long time I didnt know if I would ever snap out of it! Its hard to snap out of it when you focus on just all the things going wrong in your life and not the good. It finally took my sister to point out everything I had going for me to make me realise how good I realy have I have it!

"Think about it" she said, " The only thing you dont have now is a job, you have your bills being paid for, you got into school, you even have the chance to go out and hang out with friends" Something you wouldnt be able to do if your situation was far worse than it is. Until you start giving God thanks for what you have, how do you expect him to bless you with what you dont have?"

It took me awhile to really think it through and I realised she was right. It could be a lot worse, There are people out there who have kids they can't feed, roofs that they can't keep over their head, and no hope. Parents with sick kids they can't afford to get the medical attention they need and wont even be able to afford to bury them if they did die, bills they can't pay and no where to turn. Who am I? with all the necessities met and even the wants met have to complain.

Its human nature though, I am pretty sure that everyone believes their situation is the worst in the world, however when you really open your eyes and look around you realise you are better off than most! its time to give thanks, Praise God for his goodness and when asking to be blessed, Ask God to bless us so we can bless others.

As I spend my last few hours of my 26th year on this planet, I am grateful. I have had a great live. Its had its ups and downs its sad moments and happy moment but all in all I am blessed! And though my life is not where I want it to be, its where it needs to be! I just continue to ask God to bless me so I can use my blessings to bless others!!
