"I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Marvelous are Your works; my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You as I was made in the secret place,
intricately woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in Your book
and ordained for me before a single day had passed.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!"
~Psalm 139:14-17
Happy Thanksgiving, gang!! ❤
Today, I am thankful for:
Today, I am thankful for:
1. The Word of God, and feeling God's presence closer to us when we dwell on ALL we have to thank Him for!
2. My niece and nephews and all the joy and light and cuteness they bring to the world!! ❤

3. Sarah Elizabeth and Chet Lee... and every great friend I've met through them over the past 11 years!!
4. Pictures of people I love!! Just found these underwater GoPro pics from last summer, and they made me happy! =)
5. For so many good Thanksgiving memories with Grandad... I am thankful for his life and legacy, and that I've had a couple dreams where he's with us and happy and healthy. And I am thankful that Jesus bringing restoration in heaven is a promise we can set our hope on!
6. For Christmas lights... and that even the courthouse looks magical at Christmas time! lol ;-)
7. For my faith, family, friends, fall, food, football, and fun!! That covers the general Thanksgiving thankfulness list, and I'm genuinely thankful for each of those!
On a more serious note, there's a man in my Dad's lifegroup who has ALS. He has faithfully come to church and worshiped God even as his health declines and his strength fades. He posted this morning about how this is likely to be his last Thanksgiving here, then he thanked several people for what they've meant to him. Life is full of highs and lows, and it's good to reflect on God's love and on loving the people who matter most to us. Think about all you would be thankful for if this were your last Thanksgiving day, then tell God and the people you love why you appreciate them!! =)
...Psalm 139 was part of my daily reading this week, and I loved the reminder that God knew and ordained all the days of our lives even before we were born! I hope you're having a happy Thanksgiving this year, friends, but if you are hurting or feeling lonely, I hope those verses (at the top of this post) bring you some comfort and peace! God sees your heart, and He knows your story, and He cares for you. He loves you deeply right now, exactly as you are. And He wants a closer relationship with you!
"Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you." ❤
