AHHH It's SO SO COLD here!!

It's cold in Calgary...did I say it's cold?? Well what I really meant to say is that it's REALLY REALLY COLD in Calgary! Though I have my moments of happiness for being home, I long to be back in beautiful, warm, green, WARM Barbados! I LOVE Calgary...but my body was not yet ready to leave Barbados. But I am here and there is no way to rewind and refuse to get on the airplane leaving Barbados. I am happy to be back with my mom and my friends(those that were not with me), as well as my church.
Barbados taught me to appreciate the things I have, I realize now that I have all I need. All of my needs are supplied, why should I want more? My flesh is weak and though I shouldn't want more, I often times do. I need to learn to be content! I need to remember to thank God daily for the life He has given me, and the needs He supplies.
So here it goes, my list for today;

I thank God for:
His love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and kindness towards me each and everyday
The clean air I breath
The food I have
Clean water to drink
The house I live in
The church building (with bathrooms!)
My youth group that knows how to have fun and yet when there is a need and it's time to pray, they do the deed willingly
My Pastor who loves me
His wife who cares
My Youth Pastor who understands
A church family I can turn too in times of need
My family who loves me through it all
My friends, they keep me grounded
A beautiful and clean city to live in

The list is not complete...but I could never complete it...it would take too long.

I hope to soon get some pictures up of Barbados...but I wouldn't hold your breath because it may never happen knowing me...haha

Adios!
