Today is Thanksgiving and here are some of the reasons I’m thankful this year:
My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - who died to save me even tho I didn’t deserve it.
My husband Steve - a wonderful, loving man who puts up with my foibles and craziness and loves me all the more for it. He’s helped me overcome a lot of my past that was still hurting me.
My parents - who’ve loved me and supported me all my life and who continue to support me as I grow and change.
My church - a place where I feel like I’m at home and I can worship my God with joy and celebrate my faith fearlessly.
My small group - a wonderful group of people who have seen me grow and change this last year and who continue to show me their honesty in ways that I’m still in awe of.
Finally, I’m thankful for my life - In the past I’ve traveled the world, I’ve been a teacher, an editor, a Peace Corps Volunteer, a missionary. Now I’m a wife, a student, a teacher (again) and mostly I’m a person who’s loving life and learning about what it means to be a child of God.
