I am so blessed!

Maybe you know that country song? It's by Martina McBride. Here are some of the lyrics:

"I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed"

God reminded me of these lyrics tonight as i was on my way home from a church meeting. And everyone of these lyrics ring true right now! I AM so blessed!

I am blessed to be a part of "The Lounge" staff. I get to work with the Jr. High and High Schoolers at my church. I get to hang out with them, pray for them, lead them in worship, and its AMAZING! Once a month the staff gets together to talk about the youth, the upcoming activities, and to pray for eachother. Tonight we met, went swimming, had pizza and rootbeer floats, and enjoyed eachother in fellowship. And i left feeling on top of the world... singing these lyrics in my head... because i truly am so blessed.

I am blessed that i get to meet with a group of people who LOVE me regardless of my flaws. I am blessed to be able to open up, and be truly vulnerable with these people, knowing that they will pray for me. I am blessed to join with them in prayer, to lift eachother up. I am blessed that they believe in me, and compliment my voice (even when i dont belive it), i am blessed to be able to do the work of the Lord with them standing beside me. I AM SO BLESSED!

Thank You Father for blessing me beyond anything i could imagine! And this is just in one category! If i were to continue, there just wouldn't be enough blogs! Thank You for Mike and Jannae; Jeff and Jess; Thomass and Kristen. Thank You that we can be silly and laugh and play, and then turn around and pray to You with all our guts. Thank You that You have such a MIGHTY plan for "The Lounge"... and WE get to be a part of it! God, You are AMAZING! ♥
