I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1
This year has proved to be quite eventful thus far. There have been many ups and a few downs to match, but by the grace of God we're still soldiering through. With thanksgiving being tomorrow, I've really been thinking over all that has happened in this past year that I am grateful for (like just about every other person in this fine country) and three things stand out to me at the top of the list.
First, I graduated from college. I feel proud of all of the work I put into it and am grateful for the opportunity to give it my best shot. I am also grateful that I was blessed enough to be able to graduate debt-free thanks to scholarships, financial aid, and my awesome parents.
Second, I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passions as a career. As I said in my previous post, I am working at our library and am loving every minute of it. I am also teaching in my guitar studio of one. I always leave our lesson feeling refreshed and excited and reassured that that's what I want to do for a living.
Finally, I am grateful for the struggles that life seems to like to throw my way. I feel like each time I get the rug pulled out from under my feet, I end up feeling closer to my family and to God. Wether it's from an old wound, or the devil's latest curveball. Through God's grace, I end up stronger for it.
For these reasons, I am thankful.
