Today I am thankful for:
5). My wonderful mother who gave me life 21 years ago
6). The fact that I am alive and breathing
7). The unfailing love, mercy and faithfulness of God
8).The blood of Jesus Christ..."Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost..." (Titus 3:5)
Wow. This has been an amazing year. As I look back, I recognize circumstances that have shaped my life; things that I did not necessarily want, but God is good and knows just what I need!
I would have never guessed, three, or five, or even one year ago, that I would still be at home at 21. And even though I would not have chosen it for myself, it has turned out incredibly for my good. I've learned so much about "contentment with godliness", housekeeping (yes!), running a business, maintaining good relationships, ect., ect,. the list goes on. And on.
I have no regrets. Not really, anyway...
*smiles sheepishly*
And I can't wait to see what God does this year!
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
