26 reasons I’m Thankful this Thanksgiving
Yeah, I know that’s a weird number, but I had one more after I got to 25. There has been so much in my journey that I have been so thankful for and I really need to spend more time thanking those who have come alongside me, so what better time than Thanksgiving! So here it goes, 26 reasons I’m thankful today:
I’m thankful for…
- The puppy cuddling in my lap right now and the moments like this that I have left to enjoy
- The coworker who gave me this computer, so I can write this blog!
- The little girls who sold lemonade and cookies to help me with my fundraising
- The friends and family who have continually listened to how much I miss Simon, what type of gear I want, how to get my malaria med, what things go with me to training camp, etc.
- My parent’s support and continually support in my adventures
- My siblings and their families, who I get to see at Christmas!
- My House Church, who has grown with me, strengthen me, and has shown me what community means
- Those who bought a mug, came to my clothes swap, garage sale, City BBQ fundraiser, or donated
- The anonymous donors that I can never write a thank you to
- My squad that I’ve only spend such a short time with, but I’m so excited to get to know them better
- My team, the ladies that I will be serving side my side. The ones that I’ll walk side by side through our challenges, adventures, and travels.
- Those who read my blogs 🙂
- The sweet family that is adopting Isaac for 11 months
- Those who have crossed my path in a very small way and have decided to share this journey with me
- The new home and young rider for Simon
- My barn family, who always make me feel so welcomed and loved
- The AIM staff and volunteers who are coming alongside us and are pouring into us for this journey
- Conversations that happen at 9:30 at night, because that’s usually when I get home
- Having two jobs, that are flexible to complete everything that is going on
- My Dayton family and how much I have grown to love them over the past 3 years
- Those who helped me get my remaining gear for training camp
- That things don’t always come the way you expect them and sometimes a long night at the airport can mean money for the trip and sharing a pickle with a little girl.
- Your prayers, your prayers have been one of the sweetest gifts of all
- Hugs!!! I love hugs!
- Your financial donations and the fact that I’m super close to meeting my next deadline!!
- Finally, but most certainly not least, I’m thankful for God’s plan in my life and for providing all my needs
