In Christ Alone!

What do you choose? / The foreign phone call!

Alas Dear Friends,

I dare say it is time for another post. How art thou all? I am doing wonderfully. I have many things I could complain about, such as: my cold, the right side of my jaw, my left ear, and.......
But you know what? I choose today not to focus on my illness, or my conflicts, or my uncomfortable situations. BECAUSE! I have so much to be thankful for. I have been so blessed! TODAY, I choose to be cheerful, and in good spirits, and have a great attitude about life, because Christ has given me way more than I deserve.

          He has given me:

• the opportunity to spend eternity with the Lord and Creator of Life itself.

• a Proverbs 31 woman for a mother, whom any daughter would be proud to call her friend.

• a Dad with a heart and true passion for living out the Will of God in his life and helping his children to do the same.

• 9 brothers and sisters with multiple characteristics that keep me humble and keep me going.

• a warm home, cold as it gets sometimes, it is warm.

• a soft bed, a place to rest my head.

• friends that encourage me when I'm frustrated or depressed, and that I encourage when they are having a rough time.

• a church that I can minister to by utilizing and developing my talents week after week.

The list could go on and on. But these are just a couple of the things that I am truly truly thankful for. I am so blessed, and I don't want to ever forget it or take any of it for granted.

Do you ever get odd phone calls? Of course you do. Well, we got one the other day. Yesterday maybe, I can't remember. It came up on the caller ID as "Unknown Caller" and the phone number was 172-300-1100. How weird is that? Mom answered, and since I was sitting close to the phone I could hear the man on the other end. She answered, "Hello?" The foreign non-American voice repeated, "Hello?" She said again, "Hello?" Then he proceeded to say "Hello" again and again and again. A little differently each time, as if he was asking 'hello' then sad to say 'hello' then excited to say 'hello' then confused about 'hello' and so on. Mom asked, "Hello?" once more then hung up with, "That was weird!" I agreed. She then went on the Internet and after a lot of looking around, we realized that that number was from Gonabad Kavous, IRAN!!!!! AHHH!!!!! We got a call from some guy in Iran?!!!?!!! Terrorist maybe? Did he randomly dial our number? How and why in the world would someone from Iran call us like that? Rather mind boggling.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a great day.

Keep the Sabbath day Holy and God bless!

It is so nice to be random blogging and find a fellow teenager who is truly seeking God. What a blessing. :)
