Thanksgiving #2

Oops. I totally forgot about blogging! My biology class is killing! But I'll be sure to set an alarm on my iPhone to blog!

Today I am thankful for God's never failing, faithfulness. Yesterday marks one year to the day God turned my whole world around. He had other plans for me. At the time I was heartbroken, I thought my world was literally over. But as I look back on the year, He is always faithful! To think that if He didn't change the plans, I wouldn't have moved with my family back to Virginia. I wouldn't be back here with my friends and church family. And also, I wouldn't have the lessons I learned on this hard road He has taken me down.
I think of the verse in 1 Peter. "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."(5:10)
It's only by His grace that I can say that through this past year I did suffer, but through that suffering He restored and strengthened me. And for that I am so thankful!

Thanksgiving #1

Well, it's that time of year again. Thankful November. I really enjoyed posting last year about things I am thankful for that day.
I am amazed that this year has flown by! I can't believe it's November already.

Today I am thankful for that God has blessed me with a wonderful job. How blessed I am to be back with my church family, and to be serving our children in the way that I am. I could not ask for a better opportunity! At times as I sit at my deck I realize, I am working with people I have known sense I was 8 years old. Not many people can say that! God is so faithful!!!

Happy November!
