Thankfulness

Today, I am thankful for..


*My wonderful friends - I have the world's greatest set of friends. These last few months, I'm sure I have been difficult to be around at times, and not easy to get along with at points either, I'm sure, but they have been still there for me, giving me their support and giving me hugs and advice when I need to hear it. I love you all SO much, you will never know how much I appreciate you guys. Especially Aly, Steph, Tara, Josie, Kayla and Lindsey. These girls have been awesome the last few months with advice, support and just listening to me. Love you girls and I thank you for everything!!


*My family - I don't always get along with my family, and sometimes they drive me just about crazy, but I love them. They have been another wonderful rock these past few months with their support and understanding of some of the choices I'm making. Love you guys!!


*My job - I love my job. The people I serve, especially. They have taught me sooo much in the last year. Especially patience. Over and over again. Patience is not my strong suit either, so this was a lesson I really needed to learn. They have also taught me love, and how to love a person unconditionally. When I leave this job, in about 6 weeks, it's going to be one of the hardest days of my life because these guys have taught me so much and have been so awesome to work for. I can never really thank them enough for what they have taught me.


*My roommates - I love these guys, they always make me laugh. I'm gonna miss them like crazy!! But they have taught me a lot about who I am and what I want in these last few months. They have also been a pretty awesome sounding board with ideas and plans and they are NEVER afraid to tell me what they think, I appreciate that more than they will ever know. Love you guys :)


*A place to live, clothes on my back, food in my stomach - So many people don't have these simple things, which makes me appreciate having them sooo much more.


*God - My father, my savior, my redeemer. God has shown me so much about myself, Him, and his awesome plans for me in the last few months. He has also given me the gift of peace, I know that decision I'm making (which I will talk about in a bit) is the right one, and the one He wants for me. Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11 :)


*Making right decisions - weird, I know, but I have made a decision to move to Council Bluffs, IA on December 16. Big change, fresh start and lots of new experiences lay ahead-but I have NEVER been so confident in a decision. I know, for sure, that this is the right one-and I absolutely can't wait! I'm so excited for this change :)


What are YOU thankful this month?
