September 2nd, Thankful Thursday

I have much to be thankful for today, and I am so happy and excited to be able to share!


The last few weeks have been hard. There's just no other way to say it. Because of that I stretched my comfort zone (yet again!) and asked for help. I sent a message to some good friends asking for support, and boy did I get it! Such love and affirmation (and humor) can only make me feel better. 

--I was reminded of the love of God and good friends. 

--I was reminded of the compassion and caring exhibited by God through His children. 

--I was reminded that I am not alone, even though that's what Satan wants me to believe.

And it didn't stop there. God kept giving me things all day. 

--An unexpected (and much needed) email from my "mother" telling me she loves and misses me. 

--A haircut (yes that was planned) with the opportunity to talk uncensored to the lovely Christian lady who cuts my hair.

--Lunch with my bff, who reaffirmed, yet again, why she is my bff.

--A new Bible study last night where women of God reached out to me and I was able to share some of my needs.

--A "chance" meeting with my minister in the parking lot, who asked me, "How are you doing?" And I realized he really wanted to know.

God is so good. He provides for all our needs. And all I had to do was ask.
