Thankful – 2013

Earlier this month, I posted about how thankful I am for this trial we are in. In light of the Thanksgiving holiday, I linked up with Sybil and Susannah and today I’m sharing everything else I’m thankful for. It was fun to reflect on last year’s list too.

• Colby moving back home
• The trial & journey to becoming parents
• Blue sock moments
• Overwhelming peace and joy from the Lord, despite the circumstances around us
• 5 days celebrating Thanksgiving with my 2 parents, 2 brothers, 2 sister-in-laws, 2 nieces, 2 nephews and Colby
• A fun year of traveling to Austin, Tulsa, Kansas City, Mexico, Pacific Northwest and next week to California
• Attending Women of Faith and Beth Moore Conferences
• Completing my first triathlon
• A supportive, loving, dedicated, selfless husband who let’s me see glimpses of Jesus every day because of the outpouring of love He gives
• Changing our lifestyles and becoming more healthy
• Surrendering complete control to the Lord in the baby making department
• All the friendship that have been formed because of the blogging community
• Meeting Melanie at the airport and the life changing events that occurred because of it
• Moving to a new church where everyone is dedicated to our journey and walking in agreement with us that we will be parents soon
• My niece being born
• A ridiculous amount of good sermons, verses, and songs to help grow and encourage me on this journey
• The army of friends and family members who are involved in our journey and are praying for us every day
• The healing service we go to every other week
• 7.5 years at my job
• All the life around me – so many babies to celebrate
• Most importantly, our God, who is so completely faithful and amazing, it just boggles my mind
