Looking back over my blog, I have realised that I have not told my blog readers a life changing thing that happened to me this year. I got married!
This in itself brings may things to be thankful for. Firstly I am thankful for my amazing husband. He cares for me in everyday possible, he puts up with my funny ways, he helps me make the simple decisions and tells me when I'm being silly. He washes up, he irons, he cleans. He helps me discover God's call on my life and we walk together for the calling that we share. He loves me limitlessly.
This then leads me to be thankful for my new family, my in-laws. Although there are a lot of them, they have all taken the time to welcome me into each of their hearts and have given me time, love and friendship.
Then I look to the family that I have always had, nuclear and extended. Although I have 'flown the nest' they are never far from my heart and thoughts. They have taught me how to live, forgiven my mishaps, taught me to love God and have endlessly loved my even before I was born.
My friends have always been close to my heart. Those that have been there fore me 21 years and those that have been there only a few. The way they have welcomed me as close as my own family, they have loved and helped me and have allowed me to do the same in return.
I am thankful so many things. The trips in the woods. The joys of meals together. The crazy happenings of Uni life and the many lessons that I have learnt in-between.
Most of all, I am thankful to God. He has provided more than I shall ever need. He has given comfort when I was afraid. He has shared in my joys- if not given them. He has made most of my dreams come true already. He allows me to keep dreaming, helping me along the way. He has given me courage to do things I never would have before. He has taught me how to love like never before. He has allowed me to love him.
For all this, I am truly thankful.
God bless you all. x
