Heidi's Ours For Keeps Day.
19 years ago today the adoption papers were signed for me and I offically and legally became apart of my family! By being in the family I am, I have had so many amazing opportunities, been led to so many differnet places and introduced to so many people that I can't imagine living my life without.
So today, on November 5, I am thankful for the family that God placed me in.

Surprises and God's Provision
Well I'm back in the great state of Texas for a week!
I was able to get all of my finals done early so Saturday morning I took off and drove back a few days before I was expected. I worked it out with my grandparents that they would invite my parents over for dinner and I'd be there waiting for them. It was a great surprise! No one was expecting me (with the exceptions of my best friends back home and my grandparents) so the surprise was a complete success.
I was worried about going home because my dog, Strider, doesn't really like strangers or anyone he doesn't know coming around our house. I had been gone 10 weeks so I was worried his first reaction was going to be bark at me. I shouldn't have worried. As soon as the back garage door started to open he was crawling under it wimpering and ran straight to me, jumping up, licking my face and arms barely left me and when I kneeled on the ground he tried to climp up in my lap like a puppy and just sat there perfectly content! I was the one who 'rescued' him 2 summers back and my sisters have been telling me whenever he gets in trouble he's "Heidi's dog", but I guess he really is mine through and through! Now if only my cat will get used to having me around again!
I'm super excited about going to Peru on a mission trip over my Christmas break! God's really shown me that He will always provide for me. But at the same time its not really a surprise because I knew He would. I was writing checks and sending them off from my own accounts because I didn't have any money in. But I can't say I ever really worried about it. Yeah I had occassional moments of "what on earth am I doing?" But I knew God wanted me to go on this trip and whether He provided the money for me through other people or not I was going to go, so I had to trust Him. And today I added up all the money that I got in the last week and added it to the small amount I had before and my expenses have been covered! I still need a bit more to cover a 3rd plane ticket because I'll have to fly by myself to meet up with the main group, but all the money that I had to give the church is in!
Its fun to see how God provides for us when we just believe in Him!
Day 4 and I am thankful for God's provision!

30 Days of Thanksgiving! Day 1.
I was on facebook just now and saw a friend of mine post a status about how she's going to do a 30 Days of Thanks. Every day for the month of November find something to thank God for and write it down somewhere! Post it to Facebook or Twitter, write it in your journal, post it to the fridge, anything where you can get it out there and actually say it, not just think it!
I decided to do it as well, posting them to facebook and some on here as well as my journal (I like to write and have my thoughts heard). I encourage all of you to do the same, find little things to thank our God for every day! =)
Today I'm thanking God for His everlasting love, patience, mercy and watchfulness. How He's always been there for me, even when other people I thought would always be there abandoned me. That and for helping me overcome my flaws, its an ever-going struggle!
Happy November!
