January 25th, 2010 Day 2
Today I woke up and as one of my desires is to train myself to wake up with a very strong heart of Thankfulness toward Jesus, I want to share with you my THANK YOU's for today:
1. My dad remembered to call for the second time in my life on my birthday! You may read more about my dad in later blogs, but for now, just know that we didn't spend much time together after the age of 12. He is not malicious or mean-spirited, just clueless and self-oriented. I know he emotionally cares about me, but does not know how to be a good dad. I've had my issues with him, but forgiveness and acceptance have kept me at peace. Jesus has been my Abba, a true Father to me.
2.I am so thankful Lord, that we have strong buildings and infrastructure in our nation. As I continue to watch the news about Haiti, I am grateful for our nation. My heart wells up with tears and reaches out to the people of Haiti in prayer and love. I asked God if we should try to go and help in some way, but felt released to only give financially and in prayer. Lord, bless the people, the nation of Haiti. Please help them see your love and glory in miraculous ways!
3. Receiving Facebook greetings reminded me of different ways God has sent key people in my life over the last 38 years. He's also allowed me to invest in many lives with the power of the kingdom of God, the love of Jesus Christ and I've gotten to see eternal destinies shift. I've seen lives changed in front of my very eyes. This is my life purpose and constant dream -- only more, bigger and deeper. Lord, Thank you for Facebook and reminders of your goodness!
This is my blog for today. Thanks for reading!

Hey Ms Shawna,
