Thanksgiving

(Written on Thanksgiving Day)


Today is a day where everyone stops for a day to remember what they're thankful for. Or maybe not even a full day, just a half. Or just long enough to catch their team playing football. And to me it gets really corny and 'omg I'm so thankful for you" or "what would I do without you in my life? die." But I am truly thankful. And I don't mean it in the "omg it's Thanksgiving day" kinda way. I mean it. From the very bottom of my heart. And it's not just on Thanksgiving that I remember all the things I am blessed with. I try to remember it everyday. But I have been thinking about it especially this past week, up to this holiday. This is the first Thanksgiving in 2 years that I've been healed. Completely free. And I've never felt this kind of freedom. It's glorious. And it is only by God's grace and faithfulness in my life that I am healed. This is a time of giving thanks. And I am thankful for everything I've been through. Everything my past has brought into my life. Pain, joy, sadness, love, grief, and happiness. All the same, I'm thankful for it. It has brought people into my life, that I love with all my heart, but also that I never would have connected with aside from sharing a similar path. They've taught me how to love through hard times. They've helped make me a stronger and more firm individual. Whether I wanted to or not, sometimes I just had to be firm. I want all of these wonderful people to experience the joy and unconditional love that I now feel everyday. I've been able to see, the hard way, but see none the less, that the Lord truly is faithful and has and ultimate plan for my life. So this year I'm thankful for a lot. I'm still thankful for my family, friends, shelter..All of that. But most importantly I am thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and His faithfulness in my life.

Blogging?

I'm not really the blogger type..but I love to write. I love to reflect. I love to look back on things I've written and see where I am in life compared to then. So though I'm busy and won't have much time to write, this can be a place where maybe a few people read but mostly a place to record my reflections and the Lord's work throughout my life.
