Yesterday, i was thankful for my preacher, Brother David Kittrell. I love him to pieces! He does such a good job. He does his best to encourage the church and does what he feels needs to be done. He came to toney at just the right time too! I never really knew who he was, considering he used to go to Smryna and i dont think ive ever even been there..because they have the same regular as us and also because its so far away too. but i started seeing him around places, like Williams Cove the week the Hilary got the HG. And then he came visiting to toney one night, and i just didnt think anything about it. but come to find out, he made Toney home. shortly after is when Papa (Uncle Charles Underwood) had his heart attack and started going downhill really fast. Everybody just assumed that he was going to be fine, because nobody could actually imagine losing him. thats how i was, atleast. But while Papa was really sick and couldn't lead the services, he had asked Brother David to lead the services until he could get better. But Papa passed.. and the elders decided that Brother David should just continue to lead the services. So he did just that for a while, not calling himself the preacher, just leading the services. but eventually, he became our preacher and i'm so glad of that(: i also am so thankful for his speech issues. i guess i really shouldnt call them "issues" because its definitely things that he could help lol, such has saying suBtle, yo and yo-self instead of you and yourself, "that'd be AIGHT too", and many more. he has also come to adopt many phrases too.. such as "i aint jumpin no benches, but that be aight.", "whats happnin?" and "aint that wonderful" and he's even adopted Thumper's motto for the end of our services "If you cant say something nice then dont say nothing at all" but all of his little speech.. differences.. make my life so much brighter because its always a fun thing to make fun of! so yesterday, i was thankful for my preacher-friend(:

Today, I am thankful for this past summer. Especially of course for the night that i recieved the Holyghost, but my second favorite night of the entire summer would have to be the night that Kamran recieved the Holyghost. it was just two nights after i recieved it.. and i had no idea that the Lord was even dealing with him. but looking back at the pictures of the night i recieved it.. you can see it ALL OVER his face! I can remember the night after i recieved the Holyghost, when he started the alter.. i was praying for my brother when somebody told me that Kamran was about to make it! it was almost just too much for my brain to even comprehend! but he didnt make it that night, but the next night when he did it was just so sweet! it was seriously like i had recieved it all over again.. and it was only two nights after i had! it was the sweetest thing ever.. i didnt even know what to do with myself! i cried and laughed and cried and laughed for the rest of the entire service! and that had to have been atleast 30 minutes before i left the church.. and then when i left the church and got out to my car.. as i was driving i was still just crying and laughing and crying and laughing! and now if i see him testifying or anything, i always think back to that night and it just makes me so happy(: also, the night after that, another one of my little cousins Connor Hindman recieved the Holyghost.. then exactly a week to the day after i did, my best friend/cousin Lindz did too!! and then there was more.. some related to me and some not. but it was hands-down the BEST summer of my entire life! so today, i am so very thankful for the summer of hope!

Thankful
Saturday, November 12

Sunday, November 13
Yesterday, i was thankful for my Holyghost. im sure that all of yall have been surprised that that wasnt the very first day of what i was thankful for, but i saved it for this day because as of yesterday, i have had the Holyghost for 5 months(: and so far it has been the best 5 months of my life! so yesterday, i was more than thankful for my ticket(:
Today, November 14
Today i am thankful for one of my best friends, Haley. today is her 21st birthday! Time for a little reminisce. most people have only known Haley for about 2 and a half years, because thats how long shes had the Holyghost. but me and her go way back. we met through Whitney, because she used to live on Whitneys street. i can vaguely remember going over to her house a time or two whenever i had spent the night with Whitney or something. One time i'm pretty sure we watched atleast part of Harry Potter over at her house.. and i thought it was so wierd because she had her tv in her closet lol. i dont think i ever told her about that though lol. we never really were close then though, we just knew of each other pretty much. Then one day, she moved into my neighborhood. and from then on we just started hanging out. and it had got to where we were seriously with each other like every.single.day. this all started when i was in 5th grade, so she wouldve been in 7th grade. We were with each other so much, that by the time that i got into middle school with her, the bus driver just knew that it was okay if i got off the bus at her house, or that she got off the bus at my house (they make a big deal about that, for all homeschoolers that may be reading this) My mom would take us to school in the mornings and eat our cereal in plastic cups.. and our favorite kinds of mornings were FOGGY MORNINGS! mom is super afraid of fog.. she gets like claustrophobic in it. So on foggy days, we would get checked in at like 10 or 10:30.. and im sure there was a time or two that we just didnt go at all. We had even convinced our moms to let us spend the night with each other on school nights (something that with most would never be acceptable!) I could seriously write soooo much about what all we did.. stretching from playing battle of the kitchens and jailbreak with the neighborhood kids to going to the smokies. but then when she went to high school we just kind of grew apart, i guess since we werent in the same school anymore and because she ended up moving out of my neighborhood. whenever i got to high school and i would see her in the halls and stuff we would wave at each other but we would never just stop and talk. it was really sad actually because she was my very best friend for most of middle school!
When Whitney died, Haley came around. she came her house the day after, and then to the funeral and everything. She was really tore up about it too, because that was one of her good childhood friends. she felt kind of out of place at the funeral and everything because really the only ones that she knew were me and Ben, but of course me and Ben were happy to have her back. (her and Ben were also really close too, he was just as much her brother as he was mine and still is) I guess she was happy to be back too, because she just kept coming around! then she started talking about how she wanted to come to church. and that was unheard of from her! because when we had been such good friends i would try to get her to come with me but she wouldnt, not even once, because she thought that she was just a target for people to lay hands on her. (she used to go alot when she was little, shes brother Buford's step-granddaughter and her brother has the Holyghost too) so she came to church with us, and then she started talking about how she wanted the Holyghost. and you could tell she really wanted it, but she knew that she couldnt just decide that she wanted it and come get it, she had to go on God's time. but she kept coming with us, and she would always get on to me and Amber for eating and talking during church because she wanted to pay attention! well to spare a whole testimony.. she ended up running to the alter (behind brother David's back.. he was still preaching to the lost people behind her before he realized that she was down in the alter praying) and got the Holyghost! and she ended up marrying my cousin/brother Jared.. which was just dandy because i had always wanted Jared to marry one of my close friends that way i could always stay close to him too! so today, i am thankful for my bestfriend(:

Thankfulness

Yesterday, i was thankful for my car. i know this may be a strange and random thing to be thankful for, but seriously i use my car almost every single day. i would hate not having one. Me and my car, as of right now, dont get along too well because it just has issues that i'm getting fed up with! hopefully very soon i'll be getting rid of it and onto my second car, but i still am thankful for this car because it has held me through 3 years of driving. so, i am thankful for my transpotation(:
November 11-
Today, i am thankful for music. mainly gospel music, because thats mostly what i listen to. and it can always lift my mind up and make me feel so much better. i'm also thankful for all of the groups that make the cd's (such as new harmony.. definitley my fav) so, i am thankful for my pick-me-up(:

Two Thankful Days
Tuesday, November 8
On Tuesday, I am thankful for my church. Even though we have our ups and downs just as any other church does.. i still love it so much. i can't imagine not going there. I hate to ever miss a service there and i just love all of the people there! and i can definitely tell that they love me too. they are so good to encourage. So on Tuesday, i was thankful for my extended family(:
Wednesday, November 9
Today, I am thankful for my grandparents. All five of them (Pop-Jerry Underwood, Grandmother-Carolyn Underwood, Poppop-Roy Gaines, Granna-Margaret Gaines, and Sue.Sue-Sue Gaines). They all are such a light to me. They have taught me so many things through my life, but most of all the fear and trust in the Lord. They all do, or did, so good in church. I have 100% faith that my Granna is waiting in Heaven for me, because she led such a great life, and i could tell that even when i was just young. Whenever they get up in church, they always have my full attention, and it makes me so happy to see them get up just to testify or when they get a good blessing! So today, I am thankful for my Lights(:

Three Thriving Thankful Days
Saturday, Nov. 5th.
I am so very thankful for Alabama Football. Even though our kickers were temporarily out of their minds, and even though they let LSU get too many interceptions on us.. and even though they quite obviously just gave up during overtime, the most critical part of the game, i still love them. They are such a good team. and i dont care how many auburn fans want to comment on this and bash Alabama until their fingers bleed, the tide definitely is a good team. so on Saturday, i was so thankful for my team(: #rolltideroll
Sunday, Nov. 6th.
I am so very thankful for Huntsville church. Last night i went to Huntsville and enjoyed myself just as i always do. Huntsville is definitely like my second home church. it is so special to me because, as if the entire blog universe didn't already know, that is where i received the Holyghost. And everytime i go there i am reminded of that night! and also, i get to see all my wonderful family and my best friend hilly g. so on Sunday, i was so thankful for my second home church(:
Monday, Nov. 7th.
Today, i am thankful for my mom and dad. They are so beyond amazing to me and always try their best to help me. Even though i dont always get along with them, or dont always agree with them, they still are two of my favorite people in the whole entire universe and i can depend on them more than any other two people in the world. so today, i am thankful for my support system(:

My Bed
I am so very thankful for my bed. Somedays when its raining and cold outside, i could just stay in bed allll day. me and my bed have such a wonderful relationship. i think about it all the time. especially at work. and it always welcomes me back every single night, and every single day at about 5:30 when i lay down after work for my 5 minute relaxation time. I repay it by loving it with all of my heart.. and never ever wanting to get out of it when my alarm clock rings in the morning. especially during winter.. when my bed is 307 degrees.. and outside my bed is -55 degrees. my bed has been faithful to me for years now, and for that i am mighty thanful.

November
I am thankful for November because since its November... that means that i can listen to Christmas music freely, wake up to a Christmas song going off on my phone as an alarm, put up my Christmas tree in my room, hang Christmas lights up outside, and spend a ton of money on Christmas gifts in the frenzy of the day after thanksgiving.
