Attitude of Gratitude-Always Have a Thankful Heart Day 10

Sorry I couldn't post yesterday- I was so busy with school and other things I didn't have time to write a post. :( So I am writing it today. 
I am thankful for:

• Missionaries. They are so needed. Each one of you can be a missionary right where you're at; you're never too young or too old to serve God.
• Blogger friends! I have met so many friends through blogging! Speaking of that, Clare over at Clare's Spot awarded me the Blogger Recognition Award. I have never done this before, but I am going to give it a try. :)
  What I am supposed to do: Write why I started my blog.

I wrote my first post on May 4th. Before I started this blog, I had a fake blog, for my sisters to read, for over a year. :) I also like to keep journals and I love taking pictures. I wanted to put my pictures somewhere other than on my computer, and I asked my parents if I could have a blog. At first they didn't want me to, but then they decided I could. I love blogging, and I am grateful I am able to do it. I also wanted to encourage others in their walk in the Lord because I love Him so much!

Now I'm supposed to nominate some people: I nominate Anna Robinson over at Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary, Julia over at Writing For His Glory, Sarah over at An Account of an Awkward Flower, Catherine over at I Have Been So Blessed!!!, Tashia over at Joyfully Living 4 Jesus, Luda and Luba over at From the Life of a Teenager, Rachel over at "When You Walk Through Fire..." and Bethany over at Liberty or Death. 
Now you just have to copy and paste this picture, and write a little story about why you started blogging. And you have to nominate some people, too!  

• Piano lessons. I love practicing the piano, and I love playing for my sisters to sing!

Have a lovely night!
