Thankful.


This Thanksgiving I have something new to be thankful for.....my sweetheart, Chris who is now my HUSBAND! :) It is so surreal to call myself a WIFE but it's extremely fun. We got back from our honeymoon on Tuesday and now head into this beautiful Holiday season.

As I look back on this past year, my mouth sometimes hangs open in disbelief! Within 10 months, I met the man God had made just for me, we dated 3 months, got engaged, planned our wedding, moved twice and got MARRIED 2 weeks ago! The faithfulness of the Lord never ceases to amaze me. It is only by his beautiful Grace that he allowed Chris & I to meet and gave us strength and grace to plan our wedding so quickly. We are so excited to finally catch our breath these next few months but are also very excited for the future. We are currently pursuing a missions trip (stay tuned for details soon!). So many "firsts" and exciting things are here. We are truly in the fullness of time and it's sooo fun!

This Thanksgiving, I encourage you all to take time to thank God for the little things...it's easy to thank him for the big obvious things--your family, your job, your health, etc. But take time to thank him for the simplest things....a beautiful sunset, a crying baby, a rainy day, a fresh cup of coffee, your bible, etc.

I love you all and wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :)
