30 Days of Thankfulness: Trials


Today's thankful thought is a "weird" one, but I'm thankful for it nonetheless.
It doesn't feel natural to be thankful for the trials that happen in life. It's one of those things that is horrible and painful, but you have to endure it. I never knew how to be "thankful" for times like this in life until last year when I faced the unknown. I feel like now I talk about it all the time and I have no idea where my faith would be without that experience. I tip-toe the line of treasuring it and dreading it, both longing for the growth and strength it brought me, yet recalling the horrible pain that came along with it.
I look back and see that God was so faithful to me and wish for more experiences that shows the power He has in my life and in my faith. I know and I feel like this is an incredibly hard and weird thing to be thankful for, but I am.
I wouldn't be the person I am and have the faith I have in lesser things if it weren't for it. I now understand why we are told to "consider it pure joy when we face trials" (James 1:2)

I love that song by Elevation Worship:

I will look up for there is none above You
I will bow down to tell You that I need You
Jesus Lord of all

I will look back and see that You are faithful
I look ahead believing You are able
Jesus Lord of all, Jesus Lord of all

30 Days of Thankfulness: Coffee!!!

That's right...today I'm ever-so-thankful for coffee! Those of you who know me, know my day isn't complete without it. So today, on this Monday where I was in a fog all morning long, I express my gratitude toward coffee and it's pick-me-up powers.

30 Days of Gratitude: Friends That Share Your Obsessions...

For the month of November, I want to share something I'm thankful for! What better time to change your perspective for how blessed you are than a month notoriously known for thankfulness!


Today, I'm thankful for my friends that share my obsessions...in this case, scrapbooking!
The picture above is of an awesome group of ladies I scrapbooked with this Halloween weekend. I am just so thankful for these times of a mini vacation a few times a year and great people to catch up with and be creative alongside of. We were missing a few this weekend, but no matter the group, we always have fun! Pin It
