First Blog

I am sitting here full of Turkey dinner and it is only Thanksgiving Eve. Our Church had a Thanksgiving Dinner tonight for the church family and our neighbors. It was nice to meet some new people. As I was serving the one table I realized an old co-worker was there with her husband. I hadn't seen her since she was married and she is now expecting a baby. It was Great that God had brought them and many others out on this cold rainy night to share a time of Thanksgiving.
My Husband was in a little Thanksgiving Drama skit during our service. It was the first time he participated the the Drama team. I thought he did a great job and was very funny, yet got the point of the skit across to except people for who they are, and be thankful for what we have.
In the service our pastor commented about how in today's culture people want to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, and how they have a problem with celebrating the Easter Holiday(it is now Spring break in schools instead of Easter Vacation) But He went on to say that they haven't really argued with Thanksgiving yet. Pastor said who do they think we are thanking? The answer is God! In all things give thanks.
I have a wonderful loving Husband who I am thankful for, Two boys that have good hearts and have always respected and loved me, Two stepchildren that are great kids, Dear friends that I don't see enough of, A Church family that I enjoy spending time with, Teens in our youth group that my husband and I get to work with every Wednesday night,Two of the greatest doggies in the world, Our first home, a job that on most days I would say I enjoy, Two sister and their families( including my baby niece who is a cutie pie) And a mother who means so much to me!

Most of this is what I will be blogging about over the course of time. It will be fun to share thoughts and things that happen in life. oh yeah and the name of my blog spot is R U who U want 2 be. It is from a Switchfoot song called "This is your life" It ask a very important question, Are you who you want be? If the answer is no, then ask yourself this question Is God in your life? If the answer is no or not really Click this link for some verses that will help you to find God as your loving father, Creator, Awesome GOD!

Here are the Lyrics:
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes, This is your life And today is all you've got now
And today is all you've ever had Don't close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed that it would be when the world was younger, and you had everything to lose?
Yesterday is a kid in the corner Yesterday is dead and over This is your life, are you who you want to be? This is your life, are you who you want to be?

And that is why I am inspired to smile!
