Thank You Lord...

Much to be thankful for....
I have gone through something of a funk since Christmas--winter blues I guess. I do have many things to be thankful for. First, my salvation and the grace and mercy God has granted me and the eternal home in Heaven that awaits me regardless of my works on earth. My husband--don't deserve his love or patient quiet spirit, but God has blessed me with the best man out there for me, I love him so much. My church family--it has been an adjustment being back at EBC, even though I was in another church of like faith during the year and a half away from EBC, it has been difficult to pick up those relationships where they were left off, but I see God beginning to do a work. I praise God for the ministries he has put me in working with kids, who truly are a passion of mine. My family, dysfunction and all, I am where I need to be. I am so thankful for the family that I have married into, I don't think I could have hand picked better sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews...and of course father and mother-in-law. My jobs--I can say my work is truly something I love to do. I may have to work long hours, but every moment I work is a moment I am making a difference, I wouldn't trade it for anything. My jobs have brought wonderful relationships as well, and I can't imagine life without some of these blessed souls. My home--God provided the means for us to purchase a condo this year and it is so awesome to have a place to call our own. Trials--I am thankful for each trial God allows me to go though. I may not see it at that moment, but looking back each instance has made me a stronger person and I am able to use it to honor and glorify God. I am not alone--I often have the thoughts that I am alone, no one cares, and I don't want to bother others with my issues. That couldn't be further from the truth. God has placed amazing people in my path, I don't deserve any of them, but I need to utilize them the way God wants me too before its too late and they are no longer there. Anxiety--Praise God bouts of anxiousness seem to be dwindling down.
Thank you Lord for everything....it is because of You that I have life and purpose, I will continue to keep that as my reason for living.
