At the encouragement of a dear friend, I decided I'll try to post everyday for a bit just to get used to the habit of blogging again. I truly miss it and I have a lot to share! So what better a day to post than Thanksgiving Day!
It is absolutely necessary that we count our blessings and remain thankful every single day of our lives but a lot of us end up making a habit of taking things for granted, I'm totally guilty of that! I guess I am thankful for Thanksgiving Day where we are all forced to stop and think about our blessings. I truly believe that even in our hardships or when we feel hopeless, that there is always something to be thankful for starting with the fact that Christ died for us. :-)
Throughout the day I will be posting things I am soooo grateful for through Instagram (@okie_melina), here are a few of those:
 |
| My family |
 |
| My Faith |
 |
| My baby |
 |
| My home |
I thought I'd also share something I wrote in my journal today when I did my bible study:
"Through my current trials in my divorce and heartbreak, God has brought so much good in my life that has left me in awe of Him like how can anyone say he doesn't exist? I have found comfort in being with my family and extended family that I didn't have before. I found an amazing church home that challenges me and allows me to grow. I have met a best friend (a sister in Christ) I have been praying for who has become my support and partner in going through this new growth in my faith. I found a job doing what I wanted to do that has good people to work with and a good company to back it, and to have found employment so quickly in this economy, just so many blessings that show me that I am meant to be here."
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance perseverance, character; and character, hope. ~ Romans 5:3-4
Praise Him, that I can be thankful!
What are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving! :-)
