1.15.19~Thankful.
I often catch myself talking about things that are getting to me or bothering me, but often times, I do not take enough time to stop and be thankful. I'll stop for a minute or so and say, "I'm extremely thankful for you," but I often fail to stop and really look at the things I am grateful for. So right now, I just wanna stop and be grateful and be thankful for things that God has blessed me with lately.
First, if you have ever prayed for me, during good times or bad, thank you to the ends of the earth and back! I have just recently discovered the power of prayer. I grew up knowing that praying was something I was "supposed" to do, so I did it. BUT, recently, God has really showed me how He can work through people praying for me, and people praying for others. Many of you know, my parents had to fly out to California last week, and I was so worried about all the anxiety that I was going to be experiencing, but thanks to the power of prayers from others and myself, I only had two small anxiety attacks the whole week! So, if you have ever prayed for me, please know that I may not know about it, but you have a special place in my heart. I also think that praying for someone, when they don't even know you are, is one of the purest forms of love ever.
I am thankful to get to wake up every morning and have the opportunity to make a good breakfast, if I so choose haha, and drink a cup of coffee. I am thankful I can attend worship services with my best friends and get to walk through life and love Jesus with them! I am thankful to get to use this blog as an outlet to sometimes clear my head or write about something heavy on my heart, and I am so thankful that it is impacting people. I am thankful to get to sing songs and play piano as often as I do. I am thankful that I am fairly healthy right now. I am thankful I have opportunities to go to camps and retreats and experience Jesus. I am thankful for the job I have.
Many of ya'll know that it's the little things in life that often make all the difference. So this is a list of the small things I am thankful for. Many of you know that I am also cold natured, therefore, I am very thankful for warm blankets haha! :) I am thankful for late night ice cream runs. I am thankful for sweatshirts and leggings. I am thankful for warm showers and face masks. I am thankful for fairy lights and the cute light it gives.
I am so very, very, very thankful for my friends. I am most definitely thankful for my family and everything they do for me, but I am so thankful for the friends who are like family. The ones who are there when I break down during a song. The ones who stay up late to help me with my anxiety or whatever is on my mind. The ones who check on me, just to make sure that I'm doing alright. All the friends who read this blog and message me saying that it helped them or they're praying for me. I'm thankful for the ones who bring me food and the ones who send me cute snaps for good luck! I'm thankful for the ones who say "I love you girl!" when we hang up, and the friends who endure endless pictures together because I like to capture the memories. :) I love you all so so so much!
To my family, I am so stinking thankful for you guys and every little thing you do for me. Whether you just pray for me every morning or whether you buy my meals. When you bring me gluten free snacks, you light up my life. I'm thankful for every single time you guys have been there for me and loved on me, through good times and bad. I can't even count how thankful I am and how much I love you guys!
To all my friends who are adults, I am thankful for you. Whether you are friends with my parents, my small group leader, or my friends parents. If you have ever let me stay at your place, been there when I needed someone to talk to, bought my meal or anything, or taken care of me in the slightest...you are a blessing. A lot of you are like another set of parents to me and I'm blessed to get to say that. Love you guys.
I just wanted to take a minute and thank some people and just be grateful for the blessings I have. I need to do it more often. I love you guys so much!
love always,
