Generally, people don't express their thankfulness until the good ol month of November. However, tonight, the Lord has really shown me the blessings he has placed in my life.
First and foremost, I'm thankful that God pursues me even when I try to turn my back on him. He's always pouring His love onto me and always calling me back to Him. My God's love is unconditional. I couldn't express how thankful I am through words. What a blessing!
I'm very thankful for my family. I have a fairly large family. 4 older sisters! Although we may not get along all the time (however, I feel like this doesn't really happen much now that we're grown haha) I absolutely love my sisters. They are always here to help me and support me in the things I dream of! I know that I can always go to them with anything. They will walk by my side and offer as much help as they can! Let's not forget my mom. She has shown me what a strong woman looks like. She has had a fairly rough life, but she has strived to giver "her girls" the best life possibly, even if it means working her butt off! For that I am truly thankful.
I'm thankful my sweet boyfriend! What a blessing he is! He shows me so much love even when I don't deserve it (I can be a grouch at times :P). He's constantly teaching me! He's honest with me. He encourages me in many ways: school, God, work, etc. He has given his heart, and I have given him mine. I trust him to hold it well and help it grow. I couldn't be more blessed!
I'm thankful for my sweet friends. The Lord has granted me with so many friends. Old ones. New ones. Some more like sisters. I love to laugh and joke, but I also love knowing I have friends who will drop everything to help me. Some of my sweet friends are more like mentors. They drench me with wisdom! I pray I can an equally amazing friend!
Finally, I'm thankful for my work and school. Although, these may be things I dread sometimes, I try to remember not everyone has these same opportunities. I thought that my passion was only for children (hence I'm gonna be a teacher!), but working with teenagers, I've realized I love them just as much. They have taught me so much: mainly by reminding me what kind of model I need to be.
So, I know this is pretty random, but hey! When the Lord speaks, ya gotta do it!
I hope you can take the time today to just sit back and think of your blessing!
Everyday may not be good, but there's something good in everyday! :)
