Hey there my friends,

  I want to say thank you for your feedback on the last blog for it means so much to me and I am so thankful for all the feedback and some of it had made me laugh. I had browsed around and found a few blogs about what people are thankful for. so along with a short update on  how I am doing and then I will post the things that I am most thankful for.

  Well I had goofed a bit on the last blog, I had said that it would be today that I would be going to get the new cast but that was yesterday and well I am not a fan of hospitals at all. I had fell when I had left for the place and know both of my knees got bruised up and they are so sore, so that isn't much fun, but I know that it could be way worse then what it is.  They had checked out my left knee for I have a few stitches in it and it seemed like it would be fine in a few days, so that is one thing that I am not looking forward to in the least. I had also cried a lot while I was there, because I was there by myself for the whole thing. I had gotten home with a new walking cast and in four to five weeks I should be able to walk on it, I have my doubts though, because the thought of even putting a bit of weight on it scares me. So I am really going to be leaning on Jesus as I do this task.  I am glad of how it is healing there are a lot more that I have to do, but I feel in my heart that I can do this. Well I had gotten home and slept most of the day, because well I am just so tired and I don't know why that is. I had woke up and watched the tv with my mom. I hope that once I am fully healed that I can get myself into some sort of support program so that away I won't be bugging my mom everyday, if you know what I mean and maybe help out more often. I had talked with my boyfriend, Mike last night and even got to see him on the webcam and that was so cool. <3 I had enjoyed talking with him, he isn't feeling that well and I am praying that he will feel better soon. He had told me that he had a good thanksgiving with his mom and dad, despite not feeling very well. They don't know that we are dating yet, because he is a bit shy about that still, but I know that inside of my heart that he will tell him when he is ready to do so. I know that there is a huge distance between us, but I know that deep down inside the pit of my heart that I will find away for us to meet, it is just a matter of time and paientence.  I won't give up on him, just as I know that he isn't giving up on me. 

  Anyways, I want to tell you guys what I am thankful for and I hope that you will share with me what you are thankful for as well:

1. The love of the heavenly father,  because He is always there and will love me for who I am for always.
2.  The love of my family for I don't know where I would be without them in my life and my heart.
3.  The joy of my friends that bring me so much love and hope  into my life.
4.  My boyfriend Mike for he is the first man who loved me for who I am and not for another reason.
5.  My awesome friends on mychurch for they are all such a wonderful part in my life.
6.  The ablity to see, touch, taste and smell for those are some that most don't have the chance to know.
7.  For my neice Ayla for she brings me such joy in my life and also is just so sweet the way that she is.
8.  For the ability to be able to read and write
9.  For having some awesome friends who call me mom or daughter or sister.

12. Having the freedom that I do because of the troops
13. For the troops and what they do everyday along with there family
14. Anyone who prays for me; my appreciation can’t be put into words
15.  My grandpa sweet who is like a father to me and is alwaysthere whenever I need him
16. The ability to be able to pray
17. My health no matter what it maybe
18. My laptop so I can keep in touch with my friends
19. The way Mike from MikenLara can make me laugh so hard with his witty comments that he leaves me at times
20. This gift of life that I have no matter what it may toss at me I know that God is there for me
21. The family pet even though she can be a pain in the rear end
22. Food, water and shelter

 I could go on for hours of what my heart is thankful for, but I want to see what my friends are thankful for and I am so thankful for each and everyday that I get to come on here.

 Heavenly Father,

  I just want to thank you for you and for all that you do in my life and my heart. I  am so thankful for all that you have given to me in my life and I am so thankful for it each day. I thank you from my heart and I love you so much for all that you have done for me.

In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen

God bless you all,

Hey there my friends,

  I hope that you guys are doing well and know that each of you are in my thoughts, heart and prayers for a really, really long time to come.  I hope that you guys know how much I am thankful for each one of you and always will be.  I will give you guys an update on how things are going on with my life and then I will write out the blog. 

   Things are about the same around here as they should be. My mom is doing about the same and I am praying that she will feel better soon for she means a lot to me and I don't want to lose her anytime soon. I am thankful for each prayer that you guys have said for me. I get to go to the hospital tomorrow early in the morning for a cast exchange, so I am not thrilled about that one, but it is a task that has to get done regardless.  My relationship with Mike is going alright for the most part, we almost split up a few days back, but we managed to work it out. He is just a bit uncertain of the unknown as I am, but we will work through it together, because we are stronger together then we are a part.  

   With Thanksgiving happening for my friends in America it reminds me of counting my blessings of what I have and be thankful for what I have instead of begin upset of the things that I don't have in my life. It reminds me of a book that I had read called  'The Berenstian Bears Count their blessings'.  The cubs learn a lesson that when they don't have what there friends do have, they should stop and count what they do have.

  It had brought on the thought of this particular blog, it makes me think of counting my blessings for what I do have instead of complaining on what I don't have. I know that sometimes that can be hard to do, because of all the things that others have around us. I know that I count my blessings and I am so thankful for each blessing that I have in my life and my heart. A quote had come across my mind and it sums this up for me.

" Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play and you will be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence."

   I hope that you will take the time to stop and count the blessings that are in your life. I know that I count each of you as a blessing in my life and my heart. Hope that you will have a great thanksgiving my friends.

God bless each of you always,

Megan

Hey there my friends,

  I want to thank you for all the love plus friendship that you have shown to me for it means more to me then I could ever possible write down. I am so thankful for each of you for begin there for me and I hope that you guys know how much it means to me. I want to give you guys a briefe update of how things are going for me and then the main focus of the blog. 

  I am doing pretty well for the most part, I am going back to the cast clinic on Tuesday morning at 6:30 am mountian time and I am not a morning person so that will be a challenge in its own way. I am also going to be in a walking cast by then so I should be able to do things on my own and I can't wait for that to come. I am doing alright for the most part, I had a bit of a rough night last night, but I know that today will be a brighter and more sunnier day ahead.  I am not relying on the pain pills as much and that makes my heart full of joy, because the less that I am on them, the better off that I shall be. My mom is doing about the same for the most part, she still deals with the same amount of pain, has crying attacks with no particular reason as to why and some other things. I just ask for prayers for her and for her to be fully recovered from this.

   For the special love that I have in my life, I can tell you that it is going great. Today is our anniversary and we feel a special connection with each passing day. I am praying that we shall have the chance to meet up for I feel inside of my heart that he is my destiny. I am so happy to have him in my life and I hope that I will never ever lose him.   I am so thankful to God for the love that we share and I know that God will provide the rest on us begin together. I love you Mike and I never wanna lose your love. <3

   There is one thing in this whole intire world that I find really hard to do and that is to love the enemy. I have had to do that with quiet a few people outside of mychurch and even on here. I can see that inside of us all is a wolf that is half covered in darkness and half covered in light. If you see the photo at the bottom of the blog then you will understand what I mean.  I find that which ever wolf you feed the most is the one that will take command over you and your life. Another way of explaining it is with the old story that I heard once a long time ago and I just found it. It is called 'Two Wolves Story'. It is how I see most things. Underneath the story I will put my thoughts on the story and also the photo.

Two Wolves Story:

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life . . 

He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good ---he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"

The Elder simply replied, "The one you feed."

This elders is vvery correct on saying that it will be the one that you feed that will grow and will prosper inside of you.  If you feed the evil one then the evilness will grow and prosper over your life, if you feed the other wolf it will grow as well. I have chosen to feed the good wolf inside of me. I know that many people will not call it the wolf, they may call it something else and that is fine, but it is up to you to decide which one you will feed and it will grow.  Let the spirit inside of you speak and feed the one that you want to grow.

God bless you,

Megan

Hey there my friends,

   I am so thankful for each one of you and I love you all with my heart. I am so glad that I can lean on you when I am not strong. I hope that you have someone that you can lean on. I know that I am leaning on some great people that make it great to have someone to lean on someone. I find that when I don't have anyone to lean on, I can always lean on God and He always craddles me. I hope that you will have someone that you can lean on and know that you can lean on me. I find this quote to be so comforting from a popular song which you will find in my shared media.  It is:

"Lean on me, when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long, 'til I'm going to need somebody to lean on."
- "Lean On Me" 

I hope that you guys know that you can call on me when you need someone to lean on.

Have a safe week and hope that you have someone that you can lean on.

God bless you,

Megan

Hey there my friends,

  I am back again and am not going to leave again or anytime soon. I was and am still hurt but I won't let that stop me from coming on here. I am praying that there will be world peace and harmony around the world. I feel that there is peace in my life and I pray that there will be peace for everyone around the world. I know that peace is something that is hard to come across, but I pray that there will be peace. There are many passages that talk about peace, but my favorite is 'Psalm 122:6-8 ' It brings peace into my life and I hope that it will bring you peace as well. I also have a song that brings peace to my life and it is called ' Let There Be Peace On Earth'. It is a Christmas song, but I had thought that it would fit this blog peacefully. I will add a prayer and then close it off. I pray that there will be peace in your lives and know that your all in my prayers.

Heavenly Father,

   I ask that you please bring peace to the people on this earth. Where there is no love, let there be love. Where there is hateness, let there be less hate. Where there is war, let there be no war. I pray that there will be peace on earth not just during the holiday seasons, but all year round. I ask this to you in the name of your son, Jesus. Amen

 Here is the song, I pray that it will bring you peace in your life.
