Thanksgiving

It has been a much needed break for me- this Thanksgiving holiday. But more importantly it's helped me focus on the many things I'm thankful for this year! I have so many blessings. Sisters who are best friends. A doggie who loves me. Healing in my heart from hurts. Reconnection with my mom. A cozy place to live. Students who share their hearts with me. A church that loves Jesus and people. So many things. And yet, I still struggle. When my body hurts. When I feel sad. When it seems like all the good is not enough to overcome the bad. When I pour out my heart and it's refused. When the doggie pees on the floor. So many things can go wrong. BUT GOD...he intervenes and reminds me He has the power and control. Moving won't be so bad. He knows my heart's desire to be a wife and mom. He knows that I want Sami much to have a "normal" body free from pain. He makes all the struggles seem small when I remember how big He is. Is it easy? Not even a little bit. Is it worthy? More than I eve realize now! So join me in focusing on gratitude for the little, big and bigger things God does. Hope is his business.
