I am Thankful!

Okay so I'm a little late in the game, but here goes a month of Thankfulness...

November 1st

I am thankful for my family. No matter how annoyed we get with each other at times, we are still family and we love each other. These people standing next to me are the people that will always stand next to me. Friends come and go, but God chose these 4 precious friends to walk through life with me for the rest of our time on Earth however long that may be...no matter how far apart in distance we end up when we are all grown up and moved out of the house.

I am thankful for my best friend. I am thankful for all the times she listens to me vent about something that doesn't even matter in the long run. I am thankful that she puts up with the mess in our room when I am too stressed out with schoolwork to clean it. I am thankful for the way she is always there for me. She is one of the few people I can tell anything to without the fear of losing her friendship because I am too weird!



November 3rd

I am thankful for random Divine appointments that provide encouragement and support. (This actually didn't happen until November 4th!) I am thankful for these 2 precious people showing me what it is like to be so filled with Christ that it overflows onto the people around them so they can pour into others' lives. I am thankful for their beautiful hearts to serve Christ and others. They put God first and the rest just happens! I am thankful for role models and the way God will use them to impact many others.



November 4th

This girl right here. I am thankful for her life. I am thankful for her friendship. But most of all, I am thankful for the radical change that has happened in her life. I have been thanking God all week for the blessing of having a front row seat to watch His sovereignty through my sweet friend. I am thankful that God is using her story to remind me of the stunning power of His Gospel that I overlook too often.



November 5th

As weird as it sounds, I am thankful for tears. I am thankful for hard times because it is during these times we grow. It is while we are hurting that we become broken. And it is while we are broken that we see our desperate need for a Savior. I cannot do this on my own and if trials is what it takes to make me realize this, I will gladly accept them. I am thankful that I am weak. I am thankful that I have nothing to boast about unless it's in Christ. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
