»What a LAZY DAY!

This is the day that the Lord has made!!! Woo-hoo!

-Made some final touch ups on this Sunday's message.
-Thanksgiving leftovers... Mmm!
-Some college football, I rarely watch it, but when I do, I'm hooked. Right now UT is getting whooped by A&M...
-A date with the best girlfriend later...

I'm telling you, it could not get any better, and it's only Friday! Oh man, this is awesome! Hehe.

I don't have a lot to blog about. Actually, I do... but I'm just going to relax today.

OH SHOOT! UT just made a 91 yard run for a TOUCHDOWN!
Ok... there is hope!

»I am Thankful for Ruthie...

Well, It is Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I know that I should not be bloggong today... Everyone is at my house. I mean my sisters and brother... and a couple of friends that will stop by.
But before we start grubbing, I would like to say thank you to Ruthie, my girlfriend.

She is my world. We have so much fun when we do things together. She is amazing!
I thank her for standing by my side when everything seems to go downhill. In transitions of my life, she has always stood by me. I thank her.

A couple of days ago, we were talking about the time we met... in 2001. Hehe. I was jsut 15 years of age. Who knew that I would meet the love of my life at... a youth campmeeting? Of all places. Just Kidding. Reminiscing on that, I just get so happy because she is the one that has helped me look at things differently sometimes. I love her.

Who knew that we would get back together 3 years later... and now it is forever. Hehe. We have been together for 3 years this month, and I still love her the same. Maybe more. Hehe. I need to get married, no?

Although we are not certain of the details of our future, we know this... I will love her and she will love me.
We will accomplish Jesus's purpose in our lives. I promise her that. We will do God's Will. I promise her that. We will love each other. I promise her that.
O.K that sounds like my vows... better relax. Haha.

I love you, babe.
I am thankful for you.

»I am thankful for my family...

Another thing that I am thankful for is... my family.

Family is what Jesus created so that we can have unity and learn together on how to deal with the things that life brings.

Unfortunately, there are not many examples of what a true fatehr, a true mother, a true sonor a true daughter are to be.
I have failed many times in "son" department. Who does not?
I have also failed in the "brother" part...
Although, my sisters did not point it out in my birthday card that they gave me, I know. Hehe.

But I am thankful for my family.
I love my sisters and my brother.
I believe that they will be an inspiration to many in this generation. Struglle after struggle, we always pull together.
More than anytime in my life, I feel very drawn to be with them and see them.

My sisters went to Mexico for the weekend and, to tell you the truth, I really missed the. The house was so quiet.
They are loud girls. Just kidding.

I know my brother has a purpose... and he knows it.
I love it when Jesus proves himself in people's lives. When I thinmk about my bro... I'm telling you, he will be somebody in the next couple of years.
You better believe it.

I love my father and mother.
Although my father is not with me, I always remember bits and pieces of his advice. It would make us smile.
I love my mother. She has been there for us all the time... and I mean all the time. You know how moms are... always making sure that no one speaks ill of her kids.
Although, we all have disagreed on something at one point, I realize that I must be thankful for my family.

Aber, Beakers, Techita, mom, dad... I am thankful for you.
That was Abraham, Rebecca, Esther, mom and dad...

Notice how they all have biblical names, except fo me.
Thank you, mom and dad.

»I am thankful for Jesus...

It's Thanksgiving week!
Food, food, food!!!
For a couple of days, I just want to write about a couple of things that I am thankful for.

Tonight, I am thankful for Jesus.
Without Jesus, there would be no salvation.
Without Jesus' sacrifice there would be no remission of my sins... I would not experience His mercy and His forgiveness.
Without Jesus, I would not have hope.
I thank Jesus for saving me.
I thank Jesus for helping me through the rough times.
I love Jesus.
Jesus healed me when I was a small boy.
Jesus walks with me in this Journey.

I don't know if you noticed, but for me... it is all about Jesus.
And I am thankful for His sacrifice.

Someone once said:

"Jesus lived the life that I could not live,

and died the death that I should die."

Amazing.

Thank you Jesus.

What are you thankful for?
