overflowing with thankfulness.

It's that time of year again. The time when you reflect on everything that you're thankful for. You may be cooped up in your room working on the homework your professors loaded you down with, stirring and mixing and baking and assembling in your kitchen for the big Thanksgiving feast tomorrow, or just getting off work to enjoy your Thanksgiving break, but let's take some time to reflect on the past year and what we're thankful for.

For Him. For the things that He's done in my life this year, the places that he's allowed me to go, and the many lessons that I've learned along the way.

My grand Minnesota adventure.
Closing the high school door and opening up the college door by way of my GED.
My little Toyota Camry. 
My drivers license.
My best friend who tells it like it is.
My family and how they're always there for me. 
The start of college. 
Lunch dates with my Grandma.
Aftershock dance team, and the gift of using dancing to glorify God.
The new people I've met throughout the year, and new friendships that have formed.
Shores of St. Andrew, and the piece of my heart that was left there. 
The concert I've been able to attend, and the heart strings that have been tugged on through them.
Music.
A stove and an oven to learn how to cook on.
My mom. She's my best friend. 
The open road and where it has lead me.
Meeting Sarah after almost 4 years of talking online. 
The deep and meaningful conversations that have been had. 
My step-siblings and how they are always teaching me to have fun and be patient. 
That I'm not the same person I was a year ago.

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” - Colossians 2:6-7
