Slowand Small Changes

I felt I needed some emotional journaling time. I have felt so much gratitude for the Lord in my life. In the last few months I have felt many tender mercies from the Lord. I know that I am a different person inside than I was 6 months ago. Isn't that weird? I really feel like I have more desire to make better choices than I did a year ago. I know the Lord has called me to serve in positions that have stretched my limits-emotionally. And I am grateful. I know he knows what kind of circumstances I need, to grow and become better. I have found myself turning off the radio when a crude song comes on or changing the channel on the TV or not watching that certain movie. I am grateful for these slow, small changes in my life. I hope I can continue progressing because I know I have far to go and I know I am happiest when I am grateful inside.
