Why do we try to conform God to our will? Live in His word and know true joy.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."

Thankful Thursday

I have been having a difficult time this week trying to decide just what I was going to write about today.  We all have SOOOO many things to be thankful for and it is difficult to pick just ONE!  But I think that I am going to be thankful for Facebook this week!

I know this is crazy, I do not always love FB and there are times I do not even like it.  But there are a handful of ladies I do not live close to that FB helps me stay in touch with!  What a blessing to be in immediate contact with a friend from Washington State that I (up until last month) hadn't seen since college to hear her good news, and trust me she has had some GREAT news over the past few months!  Or another friend from the other side of the state who is a Mama to one little girl and expecting her second that is very godly and always an encourager!  I also know she will be finding out big news on the 10th of February and sweet little FB will help to get that news out!  It also is how 2 of the 3 wonderful ladies that did fundraisers for our adoption found out that we were adopting again and in need of financial help!  Or just simply some of my good friends from college/the past that are spread through the country!  New York, Indiana, Missouri...etc. etc.!

There are also family members that do not live anywhere close to me, yet I am able to 'shoot them a note' as quickly as I want to just because!  Or when you have cousins serving overseas (or friends) and you can stay in touch with them and keep up with them to know they are safe and sound!

FB was also a great encouragement while I was on my diet, I was open about my weight and it was a great place to be accountable. 

Now, I know that there have not always been the best of outcomes through FB....but I have learned you do not have to have the most friends on FB but have the friends that matter!  It was a big lesson to learn!  But when people are only being cruel and critical they are really not 'friends'! 

So today I am thankful for the technology that FB is!  I am thankful for a place to go and see friends with encouraging scriptures or quotes on their status, or being able to just stay in touch!  I enjoy being able to stay in touch via FB!
