I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who choose to take time from your own lives to read my crazy ramblings.
Instead of turkey, dressing, macaroni and cheese, yams, sweet potato pie, and everything else y'all are eating.....we are eating, excuse me, drinking orange juice with plans to have a little soup this evening. Dwayne and I are transitioning back to eating food again after fasting for 10 days.
We decided to fast to detoxify our bodies and give our digestive systems a break. We also used this time to focus more on our personal relationships with Jesus and to especially pray for a very close relative who is faced with a serious medical issue. We have benefited tremendously from this fast, but most of all, we are waiting to hear from that family member that God has performed a miracle in his behalf. And, if that doesn't happen, we still praise the name of the Lord for all of His goodness towards us.
Anyway, I decided to post the things that I am thankful for today:

Anyway, I decided to post the things that I am thankful for today:
- God...because he loves me despite all of my shortcomings and failures. Because he thought enough of me (and you) to offer a plan of salvation. Because he protects me, comforts me, provides for me, forgives me, blesses me, and is in the process of perfecting me.
- Dwayne...because he loves me and is fulfilling his role as a wonderful husband in my life. He is the most fun person in the world and I love every minute that we spend together.
- Danae...because she is so much like me (sometimes I am not thankful for this). She is straight forward, very nurturing, lovable, mean, silly, annoying, and the cutest girl in the world (in my opinion). I love having a daughter. She notices things about people and compliments them. For example, she told the maid that her haircut was cute the other day and Dwayne didn't even notice the lady had gotten a haircut. She's all girl but has no problem getting dirty.
- Brayden...because he is a mama's boy. He's very friendly and lovable but definitely a boy. He's dangerous, loves to get dirty, climbs on everything, jumps off stuff. But, he's quick to say "tan chew" (thank you) and "duv you" (love you) which melts your heart. He's also a serious ladies man with his handsome little self (again, in my opinion)!
- The rest of our family...because of their unconditional love.
- All of my friends...because y'all are the best. I haven't seen some of you in a looonnngg time but you still stop by to read (and sometimes comment). I miss each and every one of you.
