It's that time of year again. The holidays have arrived & it's the time to be thankful! Looking back this year I have so much to be thankful for. Not only am I thankful for things such as mine & my family's health and safety (which I am always so grateful for), but I feel that this year I really started to find myself & become my own person. & I am thankful for this past year of self discovery. I am extremely thankful that The Lord revealed to me last year what I am meant to do career wise, which is teach high school. He has clearly guided me in this direction, as well as found the perfect school in which I finished my freshman year with a 4.0! Looking back at my high school days when my motto was "D for diploma" I never thought I'd be in college let alone on the President's list! The Lord literally gives me the strength, guidance, & focus everyday & I would not make it through without Him. This year I have found a new appreciation for my family. I have always appreciated them & have been incredibly proud to call them my family, but it is this year where they have evolved into not just my family, but my best friends. No matter where we have lived, what we have been through, or whichever friends fade away, they have & will always be there. Even if I feel like I'm standing alone, I know I am not, because I will always have a best friend in my family as well as have God by my side. & I cannot thank God enough for giving me the family that I have. I wouldn't trade them for anything. Lastly, I am thankful for the person that God has molded me into today. This in no way is meant to sound conceded but I believe is necessary for me to include, because I do not say it (or think it) enough. I love myself & the person that God has made through me. I love the heart, mind, & spirit God has blessed me with & I wouldn't want to be anyone else but myself. He has placed so much strength & passion in me. I love the person who I have become because of my God & His guidance through my life. Without Him I would not be here. Without the trials He had me face I would not be the same person I am today. So for all the trials & blessings that have been placed in my life, I am forever thankful. I pray that everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving weekend & that you will be able to reflect on all that God has blessed you with over the years. Remember to be thankful from everything big to small & for all that God has done in your life. God bless & Happy Holidays! <3
