THANKFUL

It’s the time of year where people express thanks. A thank you to life, family, friends, achievements, events, or what ever it may be. The things I happen to be most thankful for aren’t even tangible; such as love, growth and wisdom. These three things encompass my biggest lessons and blessings this past year. They helped shape me into the person I am today and have given me the means to further  my experiences and opportunities in regards to life, and my career.

Over the past year, self growth became a necessity for me because I became aware of the real power that comes with it. Being able to reflect and analyze the actions of everyone around me, and even myself, gave me a different perspective on life and how to treat certain situations. Learning myself and growing from that was one of the best lessons and blessings I didn’t know I needed.

With self growth came wisdom. I grew in every aspect of my life; emotionally, financially, physically, mentally, etc. The experiences I went through, because of my growth, allowed me to gain new knowledge — knowledge that I have been able to turn into experiences and as a result, gave me a sense of wisdom that i have been able to spread to my close friends and those younger than me. They say that knowledge is power, so I’m thankful for the true strength that came with it.

With all the growing, came the realization that I need to open myself up to the idea of actually loving people, and not necessarily in a romantic way. I learned to be at peace with myself so that I can openly care for others with little fear of being hurt by them. After I opened myself up, I seen so many others do the same and that mutual love for friends and family is something new but something that means a lot. My friends and I are growing together, my family and I are growing together, and the love of growing with someone is a different type of bond. This love is genuine and deep, and I am very appreciative for it because it has literally helped me through the worst and helped get me to my best.

Thank you to everyone and everything that has contributed to my growth. I see the true power in it and I finally see my potential. I’m using this space to acknowledge that of which I am grateful and thankful for. Take time to give thanks, find what you’re thankful for, and enjoy your holidays.

He Can Be Trusted

To be honest, sometimes I even forget He has a part to play in the story. It’s difficult to believe in what I cannot see. To be honest, sometimes I even forget …

Active Participation

This life we live requires our active participation with God, not independence away from Him …

The Joy of the Lord

Nehemiah’s response demonstrates that we should not let sorrow overcome us. Sorrow is a common human experience. However, as children of God …

Where Can Your Hope Be Found?

But what if amidst all the numbing that I and maybe some of you have longed for, we numb ourselves to God as well?
