Simply Thankful

I feel like i'm constantly asking God for things: help me with this test, mend this friendship, do this, do that. Isn't it annoying when you have that friend that only comes to you when they need a favor? You feel used, and it just doesn't feel like a friendship. I've been thinking about changing that. I want to do something for God. I know--"God has everything, there isn't anything that I could possibly give him". I have decided that this week before finals, I won't ask God for anything, but I will instead thank him daily. This is my week of thanks.
This week I thank God for energy, the sun, ability to run, school, parents, the sabbath, providing me with shelter, keeping me safe, listening to my selfish prayers, loving me regardless of my sinful nature, forgiveness, a godly boyfriend, a caring sister, loving friends.

Earth day.

Earth day has to be on my top 10 of favorite days! I love the fact that we celebrate nature, and think about God's beautiful creation. This year I'm doing Design*Sponge's April Instagram challenge. This weekend I got to enjoy the Ocoee with my family, and it made me realize how lucky we are to have this beautiful river so close to us. We often take these gifts for granted. Some of my resolutions are:
uno| walk more.
dos| reuse containers.
tres| save more, buy less. 
cuatro| use, reuse, recycle.
