Blessed

This week has been nothing short of an interesting one. I've been planning for an FCA event this weekend, filling out scholarships, babysitting some hilarious kiddos, making some important decisions, and my car was pranked by some of my youth group friends and so much more. I feel like so much has happened this week alone, that it feels like it has been a month. Sometimes I am simply amazed by how much can really happen over a span of seven days. I've found myself in tears every single day this week. Although I am an emotional person, this extremity isn't quite normal for me. Some days it's been out of pure joy, but honestly most days it's been out of frustration, brokenness, or impatience. Although it's been a rough week, I've been constantly reminded of the many blessings that I am surrounded by. I've been reading the book of Proverbs this month, however over the weekend I was encouraged to start the 1-1-1 challenge. It is memorizing a verse each day for one week. I came across the verses, Matthew 28:19-20 to start the challenge for this week. It reads "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Although I love the whole thing, the last part hit me "and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." I was reminded that no matter what I endure, He is always there. Always, meaning until the very end of the age. How incredible! Through this week, I've been reminded of my many other blessings through my two Sub Debs sisters sending me the sweetest messages, being challenged to want to be better in every aspect of my life, getting to celebrate my best friend's 18th birthday and finding out that she is on MayFete court, making plans with my other best friend to walk out together for MayFete, watching my youth group friends make a funny commercial for class, and my momma always reminding me how proud she is of me. Even through the tough times, you've got to pick out the sweet moments. I am blessed.
