Blessings

So lately I’ve been going through some hard times, just different things in my life that aren’t going so well. Over the last few weeks I’ve found myself stressing about all the bad stuff in my life rather then focusing on all the good. I got challenged by one of my closest friends to start counting my blessings, to come up with a list of awesome things in my life that I’m thankful for. To be completely honest I’ve struggled coming up with a list, if it was the bad stuff I could knock out a long list no problem but I guess it’s only because I think about it so much.

God’s forgiveness and everlasting love

William Andrew Torr 

Donna-Kay Kilgour – My twin

Incredibly supportive church

My mother, who always does the best she can

My not so amazing past for making me who I am today

LOL – Our young adults group at church and everyone in it

Memories of awesome things that I have done

Jero and Daniella – My Vanuatu girls for being so encouraging

A roof over my head every night

Food in the fridge

Rad supervisors/managers at work

Christmas music – no matter what, it always cheers me up

Unexpected plane flights to Brisbane

Job interview with Apple

Health

My passions – TWLOHA, Apple, Church, Operation Beautiful, etc.

That I am able to help my friends because of what I’ve been through

My animals for keeping me company when I am home alone

Chocolate – it makes everything better

Worship music – it also makes everything better :)

Freedom from persecution

Bright colours – without these my world would be a boring place

Rad photos that make me smile

Hope for the future

So here is my list in progress and my challenge to you. Try to look at the positives, make a list of blessings. It will change your outlook. Trust me.

All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God - Deuteronomy 28:2
