November Thankfulness | Day One

Good-bye October, Hello November. With the Season of Thanksgiving upon us, I decided to do a blog challenge to blog about the very things I am oh so thankful for. Often, being so busy with my work adventure I tend to sometimes be guilty of putting my own self, and my family, (sigh) on the backburner. This month, my goal is to soak up my family, put my phone down a little more, and schedule my work hours a little better, despite this being my busy season. Blogging everyday about one thing that I am thankful for will be my one thing I do for myself. 

ONE. My love for Christ and my growing Faith.

Even during the times that I was the farthest from God I was never really that far away from him. I have always considered myself to be a good hearted person. Learned about the Lord at an early age through my Mom and Memaw. Saved as a young adult. The past couple of years had really been a challenge for me. Trials & Tribulations really challenged my faith. Nothing to do with me personally, my marriage or my children. But with some other worldly things that rocked me to the core causing me to cling for dear life to God. Early on during this rough time I would question "Why?", but as time goes by I realized just how much God was working inside me. Shaping and molding me into what he wants me to be. It just makes my heart swell to know that he loves me through even the hard times. To really trust and put your Faith in the Lord is so comforting. It also brings me such joy to pray with my children each night, base my marriage on God as the foundation, and spread love, fellowship and his word to others whom may not know him and would come to know him through me and my testimony. So today and always, I am thankful that he loves me so, even though I am flawed and stumble often. Nothing could compare to the peace in my heart knowing his unconditional love for me.
