Thankfulness Thursday | Part 1

9/11/14

I've had a lot of tearful, stressful days this past week and a half.  It's so easy in these times to only think about all the things going wrong in my life and forget to really sit and be thankful. But since I've been not working, I've had a lot of time to (over)think many things in my life.  It has humbled me to look back and see just how the Lord was working and orchastrating each season of my life to allow me to be where I am today.  Today, I am starting Thankfulness Thursday, which I've seen on several other blogs, instagrams, etc.

-Cozy places to share with friends.
-A puppy who never tires of kisses and being loved on.
-My church family and finally becoming part of a community group.
-Being able to sit down and read a good book again.
-The never-ending Sam Cooke CD on Spotify.

  2. Love that second photo! Looks like a good nook. :) And I totally understand over thinking. When that happens, dig into the Word and breathe easy!

    1. Thanks for your encouragement Erin!
      I've been finding myself needing that time in the Word more often lately, but you're right, it does bring rest and peace :)
