I was sitting on my bed today when I looked around me and thought,
"You know what Sarah? Your a real jerk!" (Yup, no kidding people! Everyone still alive??!) Has anyone ever felt like that? You just "woke" up one day, and realized that you weren't what you used to be? That you've forgot about all the good things that have happened in your life?
The past month has been really, really, really, REALLY hard for me ... but I was just realizing that I still have sooo much that I could be thankful for. I mean come on - I still have both my parents, Samantha still lives in the same state with me. I have a wonderful brother-in-law who puts up with me all the time - grin, grin! Beth and I are good friends, even though I'm such a grump sometimes. And thanks to the Hances - a place to live!
So I'm resolving to try and be more thankful. No matter how hard my life is ... there is always someone out there is has it worse then I do. Even if I do miss the South, my friends, my church, a state that isn't full of nuts :) I still live in America where we can all be together ...
I love ya all, thanks for all your prayers through this hard time in my life ...
Be good ya'll!

I don't think you're a jerk, Sar ;) We can fall into discontent so easily. I think the number one lesson God has taught me over and over again, and the biggest thing I've learned on the mission field is to be thankful. Sure, my life may be a little hard, but I still have so much, and there's always someone better off then me! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! Love you.

I tell myself the same thing sometimes so don't worry. You'll be fine! Love Juli
I know what that's like, Sarah. The Lord blesses those who fear Him, and that's what counts in all of life! =)
I feel the same so often! I really am most miserable when I stop counting my blessings, even after God has done so much. Love you Sar! Amy
