Dear Blogspot,

I want you to know how dear to me these past 5 years have been. No other website has ever allowed me the freedom to share my thoughts and feelings the way you have. You have never judged or censored, and that means the world.

However, I feel as though these blessed years have drawn to their close.
It's nothing you have done.
I simply need something new.

But don't fret.

You can continue to follow my ridiculous, pointless thoughts at www.baileyprice.wordpress.com.

Don't think of this as an end, but rather, a new beginning. A new chapter in our lives.

Blogspot, you will always have a place in my heart. I will never delete you.

But this is something I just have to do.

Forgive me.

-Bailey

I just got back to Sylacauga after spending New Years in Birmingham and the following week in Atlanta at the Passion Conference. ( 268generation.com tells more about it )

And I am thankful.

I am thankful for good, sweet, wonderful friends.
I am thankful for community.
I am thankful for laughter.
I am thankful for coffee.
I am thankful for worship.
I am thankful for incredible and challenging speakers.
I am thankful for the ability to hear.
I am thankful that our God is a God of surprises.
I am thankful for lessons learned - no matter how hard or how exhausting or how frustrating they may be.
I am thankful for grace.
I am thankful for giving.
I am thankful for opportunities to see the Lord's power.
I am thankful for my Jesus.
I am thankful that God is a God-centered God.
I am thankful for conviction.

I could go on and on and on and on.

Because I am just thankful today.

Because our God is a good God. And we are SO blessed to know Him.
