If you had told me any facts about what my life would look like right now four months ago, I wouldn't have believed any of it. That I would be single, that I would be buying a condo, that I would be doing this job, still living in Indy, that the new people who have walked into my life would be in it, or that the people who've walked out wouldn't, I would not have believed a word of it! So much is different, just about everything is different. There are big changes that I weep over because I'm so thankful and in awe of God's provision in my life, but there are also some big changes that, just when I think I've come to terms with them, I weep at the heart ache they've caused. Lots of weeping going on! But tears release bad toxins, it's all good! :) I bring all of this up today because it has been a full Monday! I have, in one way or another, had to deal with all of the changes that have happened over the past 4 months, and let me tell you, my head is gonna hit the pillow ready for sleep tonight! On days like today I'm thankful for God's consistency and faithfulness. I'm thankful that no matter what is changing in my life, He always remains the same, and He ALWAYS keeps His promises! In a world of broken promises, that's a beautiful, tear-jerking truth! I was about to start today's post with, today it feels like too much, today it feels like He's given me more than I can handle. But then I was reminded of numerous promises He's given me to the contrary, and He brought me peace. God is good.
Those of you who faithfully follow my blog probably know that I'm a little behind, I'm gonna go a little outside the box and just list 12 things I'm thankful for over these past three days, I think it still counts! :)
1. A relaxing Saturday morning with my family
2. The comfort only a snuggly nephew can bring
3. A close bond with my sister that grows stronger every day
4. The wisdom of a brother-in-law always freely and generously given
5. A warm, comfortable bed to sleep in when my eyes can stay open no longer!
6. A welcoming body of believers to worship with every week
7. A godly pastor who speaks convicting and comforting truth
8. Wise loving parents who have walked with me faithfully every day of my life!
9. Coffee with a old/new friend, maybe my twin! :)
10. God's watch and protection over wandering souls
11. God's quick provision and guidance in my condo purchase
12. So many friends at the ready whenever I'm in need!
"There is always, always, always something to be thankful for."
