Thanksgiving Friday!

Today, I wanted to share the big and little things that I'm grateful for. Being grateful for all things is important. Plus, when you consider the small things, it makes you realize how much you really have to be thankful for in life!

So this week I'm thankful for love. Yes, there was a lot of it floating around in the air yesterday.

I'm thankful for the simple joys of life: help from a friend, someone saying thank you, chocolate and hot tea at the end of the day...

I'm grateful for the healing process of time.

God has blessed me with an amazing gift, and that gift is making some room for me! I'm thankful that I am losing insecurity and moving forward in what He has created me to do.

I appreciate getting a four day weekend this week! I definitely need it after what's been going on at the school recently. Praise God for rest!

I'm thankful that it's been an incredibly mild winter in Chicago again. I'll take a cold day over a below zero day anytime.

I'm thankful for my iPad. Yes. My iPad.

Finally, I'm thankful for my mom and sister. They're so strong and encouraging! I love that I get to be related to them.

Verse of the Day: Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches. Psalm 63:3-6
