Yes- I know it is already December but due to the craziness of this time of the year- and mostly because of the end of the semester on the horizon, I am playing catchup on this post!
Day 14: I am thankful for another year that God has given me. With the 14th being my birthday, I am thankful for the opportunities that I've been able to take advantage of this past year and for the lessons He has taught me.
Day 15: I am thankful for music. To be able to lift a joyful noise unto the Lord through song is such a beautiful thing.
Day 16: I am thankful for Savannah. While there are many challenges she has brought, her contagious smile, looks, and laughter has been something that I appreciate and love.
Day 17: I am thankful for Maria. Yes, though she might not believe it! She tests my patience and doesn't let me get away with ANYTHING. However, it has been nice to be able to have 2 jobs together, and bounce off each other when needed.
Day 18: I am thankful for Alyssa. She might be taller than I am by a long ways, but she is still my "little" sister.
Day 19: I am thankful for my parents- while many times growing up I wondered why they did the things they did/said- today I am truly grateful for their love, discipline, protection, and their Godly example. They are servants in the place God has put them. I am thankful for them- I can't
Day 20: I am thankful for coffee and tea- they are my helpmates in times of need and stress, my late night study partners. :)
Day 21: I am thankful to the Thiessen family for taking me in two summers in a row- to deal with my oddness, to feed and board me, to help me with my Spanish, to guide me, to let me be a part of their family during my stays. The list is endless, but I am thankful God has given me them :)
Day 22: I am thankful for some of the greatest friends- while the miles are spread between us all, the connection is still there. From Michigan to Iowa to Arizona to Mexico to El Salvador and beyond far and near, God has given me some good friends :) Two in particular have been there to talk, to share the things of God, to grow, to learn, and to become my closest friends (you know who you are!) :)
Day 23: I am thankful for the power of prayer. It is amazing what God can do!
Day 24: I am thankful for Thanksgiving day that comes once a year, where we can gather together as a family to enjoy time together.
Day 25: I am thankful for warm and comfy sweatpants/pjs (aka "spandex") on cold snowy days! (and rainy days too ;) )
Day 26: I am thankful for the love and patience of God. He is the God of many chances and his love for me is never failing.
