Thankful

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! So, I figured it would be a good time to reflect on the many blessings that I've been given :)

Top Ten Things I’m Grateful for this Thanksgiving...

1. Grace. It saved me. I wouldn’t be anywhere without it.

2. My family. I am thankful for parents who have been married for 26 years and choose to love each other every day. I am grateful for the way that they have raised me. I am also thankful for my brother and the wonderful person he is.




3. Time with family. The nursing program has kept me so busy that I feel like I haven’t seen anyone in forever. This break has allowed me to spend time with my parents and my brother, as well as some of my extended family. And I love it!

4. My church family. They are my family. They support me in everything I do and I absolutely love all of them. Sundays are my favorite day of the week :)

5. My roommates. Kris, Jess, and Meg keep me sane. I am thankful for the laughter that always fills my apartment.



6. My nursing buddies. Many days, they’re the reason that I don’t quit the program. They always encourage me when I’m having a bad day. Jess T., Jacqui, Jess E., Cailee, Jess D., Jenna, Paige, and many others…thank you for not allowing me to give up :)



7. This country. I’m not really into politics. But, I do know that I am blessed to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you to all of the soldiers who fight for my freedom every day.

8. My education. I am beyond blessed to be able to attend a private, Christian university. CBU has been exactly what I need. Now…only 2 ½ years to go…



9. Africa. I am so incredibly grateful that God sent me to Africa and used it to rock my world.



10. Sleep!! This break means that I finally get to catch up on the sleep that I haven’t been getting since September!!

Lord, thank You for all of the blessings that You’ve given me. I am unworthy.
