Everyday's Thanksgiving, Part #26




I'm thankful for:

0501. three crazy sisters

0502. overwhelming grace

0503. forgiveness, though I am the one who could overtake Paul in 1 Timothy 1:15

0504. being able to study Japanese art; it's actually really cool, and tons better than that of India or China

0505. Southwest Pieta by Luis Jimenez.  I have to go see this sculpture here in ABQ and write an analysis paper about it, but there is so much about it I won't be at a loss, which is awesome!

0506. being able to teach in Bible club on Wednesday!  I haven't been there in almost seven months, so I'm really excited!

0507. going to pick up my paycheck tonight!

0508. it's snowing!

0509. gracious provision

0510. taking notes; it really helps cement things in my head, whether it's at church or school

0511. a new song I wrote in honor of Thanksgiving.  Ironically, it's called "Thanksgiving".

0512. this video, which basically sums up what I was feeling today (I couldn't find the tape).  Also, I just love how it says "Someday my prints will come."  It's hilarious!

0513. Mondays where I don't have anything to do except get all ready for the coming week

0514. being able to sign up for next semester's classes this Friday!

0515. going to see a play this Friday night, and then watching my sister perform in a different play on the next Friday and Saturday!


0517. the Music Inspired by the Story CD.  It has just about all my favorite music artists, and I love the songs!  Here's one of my favorites.

0518. The Bedford HandbookSo helpful for my English class!

0519. Crazy Love by Francis Chan

0520. composition notebooks

Live Free!

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1

I've been thinking a lot about this since Regeneration--how Christ has set us free, so that we can be free.  Not as a temporary reprieve, not so that we can continue in a lifestyle of dishonoring Him, but for freedom.  How incredible is that?  That the God of the universe has set us free, and we can conquer sin through Him.  We can say "no", and by God's grace overcome.  I am dead to sin--I am a corpse lying on the ground, and sin can kick me and drag me around and try any way to get my attention, but I am dead to it.  Aren't the parallels of the Christian life funny?  Dead, but alive.  A slave, but a daughter too.  The least, but the greatest.

I have a few songs that I wanted to share today because I just love them!  I hope you enjoy them too.
