List

In an effort to change my perspective, here are the things that I am thankful for today:

1. My salvation. The fact that the God of the universe chose me before the world began. The fact that He is intimately involved in my life and loves me more than I can ever know - even if I am not always seeking Him He is always seeking me.
2. My husband. The Lord has brought me a lot of healing through marriage and my relationship with Tim. Tim is so good to me and it is through that that I learn about God's love for me.
3. Our home. Our apartment is a blessing in more ways than one. God provided an amazing deal for us on the rent and it fits exactly what we were looking for. This also goes along with the fact that I am thankful for the finances God has trusted us with. He has blessed us and I pray that He continues to teach us how to be generous.
4. Our family. They take care of us on so many levels and love us and for that I am thankful. They have taught us so much.
5. My health. I have the ability to walk, run, breathe, see, hear, and enjoy the world around me.
6. Washington. I know this is random, but I am thankful for where we live - I love the green, the rain, the smells, and how God has created such a beautiful landscape.
7. Hope. God brings hope even when I feel like all is hopeless.
8. Community. I am thankful for the people that Tim and I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know since moving to Bellevue and starting church at Mars Hill.
